Why Go Green?

Introducing ForeverBreathe™ homes

Foreverbreathe™ homes are designed to improve energy efficiency and lower emissions through the use of materials with a lower carbon footprint and improved airtightness.

Our Foreverbreathe homes provide excellent indoor air quality due to their non-toxic, vapour permeable wall system and construction from natural materials.

Sustainable materials including wool insulation are used in the construction of Foreverbreathe™ homes, helping to create a healthier home for families.

Building a ForeverBreathe™ home is a step you can make toward fighting climate change while creating a much better environment for your family.

Energy Savings

Smarter Energy Savings: Built to Breathe, Designed to Perform

Comfort that naturally slashes your power bills.

Our Foreverbreathe homes achieve an optimal 3.0 air changes per hour (ACH₅₀) under blower door test conditions—not too tight, just right. This effectively halves the energy required to heat and cool your home compared to a standard new build compliant with basic NZ building code.

Key Performance Features:

Plastic-Free Moisture Control: We achieve superior airtightness without plastic wraps. Your home naturally manages internal moisture to create a healthier living environment and a longer-lasting structure.

Active Wool Insulation: Natural wool offers much more than a standard R-value. It acts as an active insulation material, absorbing and releasing moisture to regulate climate dynamically—keeping you warmer in winter and cooler in summer. As well as providing an R value, wool insulation in combination with Magnum Board produces 1.8 watts of energy, per square metre.

The 8-Hour 'Thermal Battery': By combining wool insulation with Magnum Board® linings and RAB board, the Foreverbreathe system creates a high-performance thermal delay. This delays external heat and cold transfer for at least 8 hours, stabilising indoor temperatures against daily weather swings and reducing annual heating and cooling energy use by an additional 9% to 12%.

Your Health

A Breath of Fresh Air: Homes Designed for Living Well

Protect your family with clean, non-toxic indoor air.

We spend up to 90% of our time indoors, yet indoor air quality can be up to five times worse than the air outside.

Standard building materials frequently off-gas harmful chemicals, including formaldehyde and other Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).

At Premium Homes, we do things differently. The materials that give our homes their strength and thermal performance are completely non-toxic or extremely low-VOC—right down to the interior paint. If you or your family suffer from asthma, allergies, or chemical sensitivities, your home should be a safe haven, not a trigger.

How the Foreverbreathe™ System Protects Your Health:

Active Toxin Filtering: Rather than adding chemical load to your living space, our materials actively clean it. The natural wool fibers in our insulation capture and permanently lock away airborne formaldehyde.

Built-in Anti-Fungal Defence: Magnum Board® provides structural alkalinity (pH 10) that naturally inhibits mold, mildew, and fungal growth without synthetic chemical treatments.

Allergy & Asthma Relief: By replacing harsh synthetic materials with natural, breathable components, we eliminate common environmental triggers—creating a safer, purer indoor atmosphere for your family.

We measure the air quality in real time of our Foreverbreathe office and our show home. Call in and see for yourself!

No Condensation or Mould

Dry, Healthier Living: Eliminating Condensation & Mould Naturally

Say goodbye to crying windows and damp, cold rooms.

Every day, an average Kiwi family of four releases up to 20 litres of moisture into their home through cooking, showering, laundering, and breathing. In a conventional build wrapped in plastic and non-breathable materials, this humid air travels through the home looking for cold surfaces. Once it hits a cold wall or glass window, it turns back into liquid water—creating ideal conditions for toxic mould and mildew to thrive.

How the Foreverbreathe™ System Solves It:

Vapour-Permeable Walls: Rather than trapping damp air inside your living space, our Magnum Board® linings and breathable wall components allow moisture vapour to be processed and pass through safely without getting trapped.

Active Wool Buffering: Within the wall cavity, natural wool insulation acts as a smart moisture buffer. It absorbs excess airborne humidity when internal levels are high and safely evaporates it away when temperature conditions change.

Free Thermal Energy: As natural wool absorbs moisture, it triggers a completely natural exothermic reaction—releasing subtle heat back into the building envelope. This keeps your home drier, warmer, and significantly easier to heat.

Resistance to Effects of Climate Change

Built to Withstand: Resilience Against Fire & Flood

Future-proof your home with materials more suited to withstand extreme weather and natural elements.

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) has set clear goals for New Zealand’s building future: our homes must be resilient to climate change. Yet, a standard build in NZ is only designed to meet the minimum legally allowable code—relying on plasterboard, basic stick framing, and paper or plastic wraps. In a severe fire or flood, how well will a standard build really protect your investment?

At Premium Homes, the Foreverbreathe™ wall system is engineered for superior defence. By sandwiching natural wool insulation and rugged LVL framing between two layers of stone-like Magnum Board®, we deliver structural protection against fire, water, and storm events.

Tested Against the Elements:

Proven Fire Resistance: In Canterbury, dry conditions and fierce Nor'west winds make wildfire risk a serious concern, as experienced in the Port Hills. Magnum Board® is naturally non-combustible.

When Andrew and Grant from Premium Homes put it to a direct-flame test (watch the video below!), the board simply refused to ignite—though the wooden fence behind it almost did!

Extreme Water & Flood Resilience: Standard plasterboard degrades rapidly when exposed to water. To test Magnum Board’s flood resilience, we left a sample fully submerged in water for over 12 months. The result? Zero structural damage or swelling.

Complete Envelope Defence: Used as both an external Rigid Air Barrier (RAB) and an internal wall lining, Magnum Board® shields your wool insulation from both sides—protecting your home’s core against driving rain, high winds, and moisture.

Don't just build to code—build to protect. Choose a home designed to keep your family safe against whatever the future brings.

Sustainability

Sustainability: Building for Today, Preserving for Tomorrow

Be part of the solution by choosing a home that respects the planet at every stage of its lifecycle.

Sustainable building isn't just a buzzword—it's about reducing non-renewable resource consumption, eliminating construction waste, and creating healthy, high-performing living spaces.

In New Zealand, traditional construction methods take a heavy toll on the environment:

Construction and demolition waste accounts for up to 50% of all waste going to Kiwi landfills.

Standard code-built homes leak air at an average of 6.5 air changes per hour (ACH₅₀), driving up energy bills and wasted power.

Conventional builds rely heavily on single-use plastic wraps, synthetic nylon carpets, and vinyl flooring.

How the Foreverbreathe™ System lowers your carbon emission level:

Lower Manufacturing Footprint: We replace standard wallboards with Magnum Board® for rigid air barriers (RAB) and internal linings. Magnum Board® produces significantly fewer greenhouse gases during manufacture compared to traditional plasterboard.

An Active Carbon Sink: Magnum Board® doesn't just emit less carbon—it actively absorbs and locks away airborne CO2 as a finished product.

Proven Lifetime Carbon Savings: Modelling of our 200m² Lincoln show home confirms that the Foreverbreathe™ system acts as a true carbon sink, saving 8,000 kg to 11,000 kg of CO2 over the home’s lifetime.

At Premium Homes, we offer a smarter, greener path forward.

The Foreverbreathe™ Sustainable Difference:

Reducing Synthetic Plastics: We replace conventional plastic building wraps and synthetic materials with breathable, high-performance alternatives like sheep's wool insulation and Magnum Board®.

Circular, End-of-Life Design: Unlike standard building materials that sit in landfills for centuries, components of the Foreverbreathe™ system are natural, non-toxic, and circular—meaning they can be safely recycled or composted at the end of the home's long lifecycle.

Superior Efficiency: By lowering air leakage from 6.5 ACH down to an optimal 3.0 ACH, your home consumes far less energy over its lifetime, conserving precious natural resources.

A Legacy You Can Be Proud Of: Every choice you make in your build has an impact. Building a Foreverbreathe™ home with Premium Homes ensures you are actively driving environmental change—creating a home that is better for your family and better for Aotearoa.

Building for Resilience: Climate Change and Your Home

As we move towards 2050, MBIE (Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment) has set new building criteria, with a key focus on ensuring buildings are resilient to the impacts of climate change. Here in Canterbury, one of the most pressing risks on everyone’s mind is fire, especially with the recent events on the Port Hills and in rural areas where a combination of dry conditions and our famous nor'wester winds can quickly reignite a seemingly extinguished burn-off.

Andrew and Grant from Premium Homes put the "fire-resistant" claims of Magnum Board to the test and filmed the results. Despite their best efforts, they couldn’t ignite the Magnum Board. They may, however, have come a little too close to setting fire to the fence it was propped against!

Then they put Magnum Board to a water submersion test, which ended up being over a year long, to see how their building product coped. They just couldn't hurt the Magnum Board. This demonstrates the true resilience of our building material, used both as an internal wall board and an external Rigid Air Barrier - effectively sandwiching our wool insulation.

Magnum Board is only half the picture. Paired with the natural power of wool insulation, the Foreverbreathe system creates a hygroscopic wall that truly breathes. This dynamic combination regulates moisture vapour to keep your home dry and condensation-free, naturally reducing your energy needs

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a "breathable" home, and how does it differ from a standard New Zealand build?

Most modern homes are built using non-breathable plastic wraps and acrylic paints—like wearing a plastic raincoat where sweat gets trapped inside. A Certified ForeverBreathe Home works like a high-performance outdoor jacket. It keeps rain and cold weather out while allowing indoor moisture vapour to diffuse freely through the walls, preventing trapped dampness, hidden mould, and framing rot.

Why should I choose sheep's wool insulation over cheaper synthetic options?

Synthetic fibreglass insulation is lightweight and loses thermal performance as soon as humidity touches it. Terra Lana natural sheep's wool is an active insulator. It dynamically absorbs and releases moisture vapour, generating a biological warming and cooling effect. This helps to keep your home at a comfortable, stable temperature year-round while filtering harmful toxins out of your indoor air.

How does the ForeverBreathe Specification help with my family's allergies and respiratory health?

Standard builds can trap VOCs from synthetic glues and paints, alongside hidden wall mould, which can trigger asthma and allergies. Our natural mineral wall linings and paints are naturally alkaline, which stops mould spores from ever growing. Additionally, our natural sheep's wool insulation permanently binds and neutralises airborne pollutants like formaldehyde, giving your family clean, asthma-friendly indoor air.

Are your homes designed specifically to handle the damp and cold of a Christchurch winter?

Canterbury winters bring heavy frosts and freezing temperatures that often make standard homes feel damp and draughty. In typical builds, cold timber studs create cold spots on interior walls where heat escapes and condensation forms.

Our Certified ForeverBreathe Homes handle Canterbury's local climate naturally:

· Warm, Consistent Interior Walls: High-density Magnum Board linings and Terra Lana natural sheep's wool insulation deliver over eight hours of thermal lag. This holds heat inside and maintains uniform wall surface temperatures without cold spots, even when outside temperatures drop well below freezing.

· Dry Wall Cavities: Moisture from everyday living diffuses safely through our mineral wall linings and wool insulation core into a ventilated outer cavity, keeping structural timber dry and maintaining full insulation performance year-round.

· Draught-Free Airtightness: Our solid Magnum Board outer air barrier blocks cold wind wash from entering the wall cavity, keeping living areas comfortable while reducing heating effort.

If the walls are designed to "breathe," will my house be draughty or harder to heat?

Not at all. "Breathing" refers to water vapour moving through solid wall materials at a microscopic level, not draughts blowing through gaps. Our solid Magnum Board outer air barrier seals your home tightly against cold winds and draughts, allowing your heating system to hold warmth with minimal energy effort.

What are the benefits of avoiding plastic wraps and synthetic materials in my home?

Standard builds wrap homes in synthetic plastic films and acrylic paints—much like wrapping a house in a plastic bag. This seals the building but can trap moisture inside the wall cavity, which leads to hidden framing rot and mould over time.

By choosing natural, breathable materials instead of synthetic plastic wraps and paints, you gain three core benefits:

· Structural Longevity: Vapour-permeable Magnum Board linings and Terra Lana sheep's wool allow water vapour to pass safely into a ventilated cavity. This keeps timber framing dry and protects the structure of your home for decades.

· Pure, Toxin-Free Indoor Air: Our mineral linings and sheep's wool insulation contain zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The natural wool core acts as an air filter that permanently binds and locks away airborne toxins like formaldehyde.

· Active Carbon Savings: By replacing traditional plasterboard and fibreglass with sustainable mineral boards and natural wool, a Certified ForeverBreathe Home prevents significant carbon emissions over its lifespan compared to a standard build. Independent lifecycle testing on the Premium Homes show home at 25 Earlsbrook Boulevard in Lincoln proved a saving of eight to 11 tonnes (8,000 kg to 11,000 kg) of carbon emissions. Choosing this specification ensures your home actively reduces embodied carbon from day one.

Can I choose from your existing floor plans, or do you offer custom design services?

We offer complete flexibility. You can select from our range of pre-designed Performance Home Plans (such as the Sunday, Cheeseman, Oxford, Franklin, Herbert, or Ollivier) or partner with one of our architectural teams to create a fully custom design tailored specifically to your section, budget, and lifestyle.

How do your building materials impact the air quality and "smell" inside a finished home?

Unlike standard builds that off-gas chemical fumes and synthetic paint smells, a ForeverBreathe Home feels fresh and clean from day one. Because we use mineral-based, zero-VOC linings, paints and natural sheep's wool, harmful chemicals are filtered out for the lifetime of the materials rather than being trapped inside.

Can I tour a finished home in the Canterbury area to see the quality for myself?

Yes! We invite you to experience the difference firsthand. You can visit our show home at 25 Earlsbrook Boulevard in Lincoln to feel the warmth, quietness, and fresh indoor air quality for yourself.

What does your Master Builders Award for Sustainable Excellence mean for my home's value?

Our Master Builders awards provide independent verification that choosing to build a Certified ForeverBreathe Home with Premium Homes ensures your home will be constructed to the highest standards of craftsmanship and environmental performance. This independent recognition confirms superior building quality and long-term durability, helping to future-proof your investment for the years ahead.

How does the price of a Premium Homes build compare to standard group builders?

A Certified ForeverBreathe Home starts from as little as 15% above minimum building code builds—far more accessible than high-cost Passive Style builds. Because our homes reduce heating and cooling energy use by over 25%, your ongoing power bill savings, reduced maintenance, and improved family health make the total lifetime cost of ownership significantly lower.

Why should I choose your specification over a certified Passive House?

Passive House builds often require a significantly higher budget and seal you inside a synthetic, airtight box that relies heavily on continuous mechanical ventilation to flush out moisture and maintain air quality. Our ForeverBreathe Specification achieves exceptional thermal performance while regulating indoor humidity naturally through breathable materials, giving you high performance without total reliance on costly mechanical systems.

Is vapour-permeable building technology proven to work long-term?

Yes. Vapour-permeable construction is backed by decades of global building science and verified through local testing in Canterbury since 2018. Thermal data collected during winter conditions proves our wall systems eliminate cold spots, keep framing timber dry, and maintain stable indoor temperatures without internal condensation.

How do your walls prevent moisture and mould without heavy mechanical ventilation?

A typical household produces over 20 litres of moisture daily from cooking, showering, and breathing. Instead of hitting cold plastic paint and turning into wall condensation, this moisture is absorbed by our mineral wall linings, passed safely into our wool insulation core, and released into a ventilated outer wall cavity. The natural anti-fungal properties of our wall linings and paint stop mould spores from germinating.

Do you have house and land packages available, or do I need my own section?

You do not need to secure a section before speaking with us. We offer House & Land packages across the Greater Christchurch region, or we can partner with you to find a section that aligns with your lifestyle goals and budget.

Our process adapts flexibly depending on where you are in your journey:

· Finding Land for a Pre-Designed Plan: We first determine your total investment budget, then identify which of our pre-designed Performance Home Plans fit comfortably within that target. From there, we help you find a section that works with both your chosen design and overall budget.

· For a Fully Custom Build: If you prefer a bespoke design and don’t already have a section, we can partner with you to find the ideal section first. Once the site is secured, we create a custom house plan specifically tailored to the section's orientation, your lifestyle wishes, and your established investment budget.

How well do your natural materials hold up against earthquakes?

Our natural building materials are exceptionally strong and resilient. The dense Magnum Board linings act as a rigid bracing shield across your entire timber frame. This provides superior racking strength compared to standard paper wraps and plasterboard linings, giving your home exceptional structural durability against seismic events.

Can I integrate solar power, rainwater harvesting, or greywater systems?

Yes, seamlessly. Because our breathable building envelope cuts your space heating and cooling demand by over 25%, your base power consumption is low. Adding solar panels and/or water recycling systems allows you to get closer to a net-zero lifestyle.

Will I see a real reduction in my monthly power bills?

Yes. Building science modelling confirms that our wall assembly reduces heating and cooling energy demand by over 25% compared to standard code builds. The thermal lag keeps interior temperatures comfortable without heavy air conditioning, leading to substantial year-round power bill savings.

What long-term maintenance is required compared to a standard home?

Maintenance is lower and more straightforward. Traditional homes often suffer from blistering paint and hidden timber decay caused by trapped moisture. Our mineral wall finishes and dry structural assemblies do not trap water vapour, resulting in stable surfaces that reduce the need for frequent repainting and structural upkeep.

Does using this high-performance specification complicate council building consents?

Every product in the ForeverBreathe Specification is fully certified and tested to meet or exceed New Zealand Building Code standards (including H1 energy efficiency requirements). Our team handles the entire building consent submission directly with your local council on your behalf.

What are the steps in your process from initial meeting to building start?

We guide you through five clear steps to ensure your building journey is structured, transparent, and completely stress-free:

Initial Consultation & Budget Alignment: We discuss your lifestyle goals, site considerations, and preferences. We determine your overall investment parameters first so we can guide you toward the right path with total financial clarity.

Concept & Floor Plan Selection: We work with you to either align your budget with one of our pre-designed Performance Home Plans or collaborate with our architectural designer to sketch a fully custom concept tailored to your section's natural solar orientation.

Indicative Pricing & Feasibility: Before you make any financial commitment, we prepare an indicative estimate to ensure your project aligns with your target investment.

Working Drawings & Specifications: Upon signing a Work Authorisation Agreement, we coordinate design and supplier consultations—giving you access to our fixtures, fittings, flooring, and colour specialists to lock in your selections.

Contract Signing & Consenting: We present a standard Registered Master Builders fixed-price contract with agreed start and completion dates. Once signed, we lock in material orders to protect your budget, while our team submits and manages your building consent directly with the local council.

How do you protect my budget against price spikes once we sign?

Once your building contract is signed, we lock in your material orders and delivery dates directly with our established supply partners like Health Based Building. This significantly reduces the risk of unexpected cost fluctuations caused by market changes outside our control, giving you complete certainty over your build investment.

What guarantees do I have that these materials will remain durable long-term?

Describe the item or answer the question so that site visitors who are interested get more information. You can emphasize this text with bullets, italics or bold, and add links.

Who will be my point of contact during construction, and how often will I get updates?

You will be assigned a dedicated Project Manager who oversees quality on site every day. We utilise a web-based project management system that gives you complete 24/7 visibility over your build schedule, progress photos, and updates—allowing you to track your home's journey seamlessly from anywhere, even if you are living remotely or outside Canterbury. Your Project Manager will also coordinate regular progress updates and invite you to key milestone walk-throughs on site.

What does the handover process look like when my home is finished?

Building a home is one of the most significant personal and financial investments you will ever make. We want the journey to feel warm, rewarding, and stress-free from day one.

To ensure you feel fully supported and excited every step of the way, we follow a well-structured, thought-out process designed around clarity, communication, and complete peace of mind:

Relaxed Milestone Walk-Throughs: We invite you on site at key milestones to celebrate progress, answer questions, and walk through your home together as it takes shape.

A Dedicated Practical Completion Process: Towards the end of the build, we complete a comprehensive walk-through with you to make sure every detail is refined to our strict Registered Master Builders standards before handover.

A Special Handover Experience: When your keys are handed over, we spend time showing you how your home's natural heating and passive ventilation features create a healthy comfortable indoor environment, you will feel the difference! We leave you with a comprehensive home pack containing all your warranties, sign-off documents, and of course your official Certified ForeverBreathe Home Certificate.

Our goal is simply to make building your home a wonderful, memorable experience that gives you complete confidence in the lifelong comfort and health of your investment in a ForeverBreathe Home.

Customer Experiences

Award winning Master Builder, Christchurch

As homeowners of the 2021 Registered Master Builders award winning home, we would like to say we are extremely proud and grateful to the team at Premium Homes. Andrew stood by us through two and a half years of difficult times while we negotiated a successful resolution with our insurance company, which enabled us to manage our own repair.

As this was Phillipa’s family home we wanted to preserve and enhance many of its original features while creating something new and modern.

The project was a pleasurable experience through Premium Homes’ superb craftsmanship, attention to detail, continuous communication and organisation skills. The team was dedicated to the project, and this resulted in a unique house, which we are delighted to call home.

The exchange of ideas between us and the builders was so rewarding and resulted in a finish beyond our initial vision.

“We want to thank you all for the brilliant transformation of our house. The result is wonderful, but the experience was also excellent. Your communication was superb, you were on budget and on time – no mean feat with our 100-year-old house – and added the unforeseen along the way.

So, again, we appreciate your care of us and our home. Thank you.”

Phillipa and Lawson

Cashmere

When we saw the completed build for the first time it was with some well earned awe at the quality of build and craftsmanship, all the little details that couldn’t be captured in photos were realised and we learned how lucky we were to have chosen Premium Homes”

We adore our house Premium Homes built for us in Castle Hill Village. In our search for a building company that could build in a remote location at a high elevation and wind zone, Premium Homes caught our eye with their Healthy Homes building philosophy. They exceed expectations creating a healthier, stronger and more energy efficient house. We were excited by the use of wool insulation and magnum board (in place of fiberglass and Gib) and it has proven its worth in reducing noise, keeping the air clean and feeling fresh and the house breathes not getting too hot nor too cold. Premium Homes were able to effectively go through the build process whilst we were in Australia during COVID times and unable to visit site. No corners were cut and any issues and decision making requirements were communicated and dealt with effectively. When we saw the completed build for the first time it was with some well earned awe at the quality of build and craftsmanship, all the little details that couldn’t be captured in photos were realised and we learned how lucky we were to have chosen Premium Homes. To us, the little extra cost in building a healthy home is well worth it. We are so proud of our house we would love to show it to anyone who is interested in building a healthy home. Who wants to build to the bare minimum requirements when going a little further to improve makes such a big difference? building healthy homes can only improve NZ living and we would now never build any other way. Our heartfelt thanks goes to all the team at Premium Homes for executing such a fantastic home for us.

Thank you.

Georgie and Steve.

Castle Hill

We planned to build a healthy home based on the ancient Indian science of home building (Vastu Sastra), with modern NZ specs, and of course within a budget! Premium Homes met all our requirements. During the very early stages when we lived out of town we were guided through the whole process, from planning to final hand-over.

Groundwork began two days ahead of our timeline and from there construction progressed quickly, with the team making sure all the Vastu aspects were carried out with utmost attention to detail. As with any construction process, we wanted to improvise a few things impromptu. Premium Homes provided insight and were flexible to accommodate these changes. It is also important to emphasise that Premium Homes have a very impressive line-up of sub-contractors, who were friendly and proficient.

Having moved in, the COVID-19 lockdown was a great opportunity to evaluate the performance of the house, and we came to appreciate the workmanship and the healthy aspects of the house.

Overall, when the builders treat your dream project as theirs, the end result is remarkable. The team at Premium Homes are a trustworthy lot.

A&P,

Lincoln
