A Smarter Way to Build: Exceed Homes & Westpac partnership delivers for southern homeowners
On Friday, 23rd May, Exceed Homes and Westpac came together to demonstrate how their ongoing partnership is reshaping the path to homeownership in Southland and Otago. Against the backdrop of New Zealand’s housing challenges, the event showcased what’s possible when innovation and collaboration take centre stage.
Jade McNamara and Sarah Bohm, owners of Exceed Homes, explained during the event:
“We believe homeownership should be exciting, not stressful. Our partnership with Westpac allows us to offer customers a more straightforward, financially supported pathway to their dream home. Off-site construction speeds things up, and Westpac’s support eliminates financing worries during the build. It’s a game-changer.”
Westpac’s Prebuilt Home Loan was a focal point of the event. Designed specifically for prefabricated construction, this innovative loan supports clients throughout the build – not just at the end – removing a significant barrier that has historically deterred prospective homeowners.
Raelene Gay, speaking on behalf of Westpac, reaffirmed the bank’s commitment to smarter housing solutions:
“Westpac is proud to partner with Exceed Homes to make building more accessible for Kiwis. This collaboration reflects a shared vision: to simplify the home buying process and empower more New Zealanders to own quality homes.”
On Display: The Future of Homebuilding
The open day provided a tangible glimpse into the future of housing:
Visitors toured completed Exceed Homes builds, experiencing firsthand the design and efficiency of off-site construction.
Attendees connected with the Exceed Homes team to discuss how the process streamlines traditional building headaches.
Westpac representatives were on site to explain how homeownership can begin with just a 10% deposit – a critical detail for many potential buyers.
The event underscored how this powerful partnership is restoring confidence in the building process. With faster timelines, clearer costs, and reduced financial stress, it’s little wonder that Southland and Otago are setting an example for the rest of the country.
Leading the Way
As many regions across New Zealand continue to seek solutions to housing affordability and supply issues, Exceed Homes and Westpac have proven that answers already exist, especially when industry leaders come together with shared purpose and innovation at heart.
