Welcome to ZB Homes, I’m Zane Beckett.
I founded ZB Homes over 25 years ago now.
At the time I was encouraged to set up my own building and construction business by the mentors I had just finished my apprenticeship with. Today, I am amazed at what that dream has become. In 2017, we were the first construction company to win Deloitte’s Fast 50, spurred on by our investment in property development.
Twenty five years ago I would never would have envisaged becoming a property developer, but when sections became scarce, I knew I had to look at how I could help more people realise their dream of new home ownership. So, I expanded into creating subdivisions and offering house and land packages.
At any one time, we have around 40 building projects on the go, and yet we pride ourselves on providing each and every client with personalised service, care and commitment.
We make sure we listen carefully to what you want, provide a seamless build process and offer you a number of benefits when building with ZB Homes.
What motivates me is providing affordable house and land packages. Opening the doors to new homeownership for individuals, couples and families that may otherwise not be able to afford this dream, is my dream.
New homes provide so many benefits, both in terms of aesthetics, comfort and health. To be able to provide those opportunities is highly rewarding for me.
I hope you’ll come onboard as one of our clients, so we can build your dream home too.
Hello, my name is Kirsten Chisholm, you’ll see me at our Design Centre or new Showhome in Cambridge, or I can meet you onsite at one of our Abergeldie Estate sections for sale.
Having moved away from Auckland over ten years ago, I feel lucky to call Waipa my home. It’s such a beautiful and easy place to live; and the people are lovely!
Working for ZB Homes enables me to combine my qualifications and skills with my love for new homes. I still get excited with every new client that comes on board, and with every new home we build. My role is to help you get started on your dream home. I’ll work closely with you helping you choose your section, decide on your concept plans, fixtures and fittings and prepare all your paperwork, including contracts, quotes and specifications.
As a working mum with an adult daughter in Auckland and teenager at St Peters, I understand the pressures of modern-day living, and strive to ensure the transition to your new home is as easy and enjoyable as possible.
With a husband in the construction industry, and having worked for ZB Homes for quite a few years now, I have lots of practical information to help you make the best choices for your new home.
I love working with my clients to create a beautiful home they can be proud of, and love nothing more than walking you through your new home once it’s been completed! Seeing your home come together after months of working together, is truly rewarding.
Hi, I’m Jemma. I live in Hamilton, with my family, I love the outdoors, walking the dogs down at the river, and getting away to the beach with family and friends. I enjoy most sports (especially watching our children play), getting away to be close to the ocean, and last but not least wining & dining.
I have vast knowledge from working in the building industry, from accounts, health and safety to project management and I am very excited to ensure that the clients’ dreams at ZB Homes become a reality. Having built my own house I also understand how it is to be on the other side so I love to help make your journey with us as smooth as possible.

One of my most memorable experiences was diving on the Rainbow Warrior wreck—an incredible piece of history beneath the waves. It’s a dive I’ll never forget and a reminder of my love for the ocean and adventure.
Billy started working with us in January 2019.
When asked what his favourite part about working here is he said “The end of the month catch ups with the whole team and working outside”.
His hobbies outside of work are surfing, surfing and surfing.
Something interesting about Billy is that he has never broken a bone
