Future Homes NZ is a partnership between Lyal Elliott and Steve Elliott. No they are not related, just happen to have the same surname! With a combined 59 years’ experience, both are trade qualified and have worked with hundreds of clients during their respective careers to make their “dream home” a reality.
Complementing each other with their skill sets, Steve concentrates mainly on the sales and estimating side of the business. Lyal’s core focus is construction and project management. We pride ourselves on producing a quality build every time within a realistic time frame.
Having been in the Taupo building industry for 35+ years, prior to Future Homes, Steve owned a leading New Zealand building franchise for 14 years. Steve enjoys working with the client to bring the initial basic concept to life on paper. Taking into consideration the practicality as to how the home will be built and the clients’ investment level, whilst creating something “unique”, he works through their wish list making changes to suit before sending plans to a “draughtie” to draw up.
Lyal has also been in the Taupo district for some time, 22+ years, during which time he has run a successful business as an independent builder, and also had a panel franchise for 6 years prior to going into partnership with Steve.
In addition to experience, one of the key advantages working with Future Homes NZ is that they offer options! Whilst they have both swung a hammer and built with traditional timber construction during their building careers, collectively they have 25 years’ experience in the area of panel construction. MetraPanel is an alternative system that we offer clients as an option.
As Master Builders we offer out clients the security of the Master Builders 10-year Guarantee which is offered as a standard feature in our specification.
Being an independent building company we are the decision makers. There are no additional franchise fee costs added to pass on to a parent company.

Since relocating from Auckland to live in Kinloch in January 2012, I have worked in both Project Management and Sales roles in residential construction over the past 9 years. I joined Future Homes NZ in March 2020, the day we were all told to “go home and lock-down”! This was a great opportunity to take time to fine tune systems and processes whilst working from home.
Having previously worked for two nationwide residential home franchises I have a proven sales record and a reputation for “going the extra mile” for my clients. With an excellent knowledge of the build process from the “ground up”, teamed together with my expertise in Supply Chain and Operations Management, I pride myself on my attention to detail and delivering excellence in all that I undertake.
My key focus is ensuring each and every client is taken on a memorable and enjoyable journey – one that they will share with friends and family for years to come. I firmly believe that if you are passionate about what you do, the sense of accomplishment is the ultimate reward. I look forward to working with you on your “Future” investment.
