DISCOVER THE STORY BEHIND AROHA BUILDERS
Aroha Builders is redefining what it means to build a home—with intention, connection, and craftsmanship rooted in the values of love, community, and simplicity.

OUR STORY
When we were presented the opportunity to create our vision in starting a new home building company, we knew we wanted it to send the message of the legacy that we hoped to leave behind one day. The message was one of community, of connection, of generosity, of compassion, of family.
The Maori word we chose, ‘Aroha,’ encompasses so much of that message and more. The word Aroha comes from the native people of New Zealand, the Maori.
One Maori elder and author, Ruth Makuini Tai, described it as “the creative force behind all dreams. Aroha defines great leadership, ensures personal success, and inspires us to go the extra mile.”
When we act from a place of Aroha our collective dreams become possible and we are inspired to achieve goals beyond what we could have imagined.
Simply put, Aroha means Love.
Aroha is a compound word, the parts of Aroha include Aro, Ro, Hā, Oha. These words give many layers of meaning offering a profound message of love and connection.
-
ARO is thought, life principle, paying attention, to focus on, to face or front
-
RO is inner, within, introspection
-
HA is life force, breath, energy
-
OHA is generosity, prosperity, abundance, wealth
Aroha Builders is founded on taking purposeful action that creates connection within its community and builds respectful and prosperous relationships.
OUR VALUES
At Aroha Builders, our values guide every relationship we build, every home we craft, and every decision we make. Rooted in the meaning of Aroha—love, connection, empathy, and generosity—these principles shape our approach from the foundation up.
