Fraemohs Homes

About

Monni Fraemohs arrived in New Zealand from Denmark with a passion for Danish design and quality. He was inspired by New Zealand’s natural environment and plentiful exotic timber, and in 1968 he started Fraemohs Homes with a vision to share his passions, and to create homes Kiwis would love.

More than five decades, and thousands of houses both locally and internationally later, we still manufacture the timber for our homes from the same Christchurch site we always have. And while Monni has moved on, Fraemohs Homes remains locally owned and true to Monni’s founding principles; excellence in design, quality, and most importantly helping our customers to love where they live.

Our kitset homes are available nationwide and internationally. Our franchises provide a full design and build service across Canterbury, Otago, Tasman/Marlborough, the Bay of Plenty, Waikato and Wellington. We also have a range of transportable homes built with sustainably grown New Zealand timber.

Fraemohs Homes is a registered Master Builder, and offers a Master Build Guarantee with every home we build.

Testimonials

"Others’ architectural plans were either too expensive or otherwise inappropriate… the ambience re the lake views and proximity to the water and future bush landscape have worked out just as intended."

Customer feedback. Lake Kaniere, 2018

"We certainly got that, and are thrilled with the quality of the workmanship. The process was great, the house is great and we’re genuinely happy that we built our home with Fraemohs.”

Customer feedback Heathcote, 2020

"I was in Hanmer in a wooden Fraemohs chalet trying to fix my phone while my wife watched a TV movie when the first big 7.5 hit. I have to say the chalet was great – strong as a boat in a storm as we rocked and rolled. It was built on a good thick concrete pad and the interlocking beam walls performed perfectly."

Customer feedback on public forum following Kaikoura earthquake

"Just a couple of kilometres up the road virtually an entire subdivision got ruined by the earthquakes – but our Fraemohs didn’t even require repairs. The only thing on our property to suffer damage was the driveway!"

Customer feedback following Christchurch earthquake

"The house just rattle and rolled and then settled back into position again."

Customer feedback on public forum following Christchurch earthquake

"The best earthquake proof house – it handled the 7.8 no problems. I’d recommend to anyone going to build. Cheers Fraemohs."
