I support clients throughout the entire building journey with practical advice, clear guidance, and genuine care. Having built my own home and renovated homes over the years, I understand both the financial and emotional investment involved in creating a home.

Why I am a member
I joined NZ Business Women because I believe there is real value in being connected with other women who are ambitious, supportive, and willing to share their knowledge and experience. Running and growing a business can be both exciting and challenging, and I love being part of a community where women encourage one another, build genuine relationships, and celebrate each other’s success. Being part of the Karaka group gives me the opportunity to connect with local business women, keep learning, and contribute to a network built on support and collaboration.

Testimonials
"We have received exceptional service from Shona Rapley. Shona has made the process easy to understand and enjoyable. Her attention to detail and ability to move seamlessly between design and build has been invaluable. My husband very much appreciated the financial detail supplied during the quoting process and adherence to the desired budget. All standard and additional costs were clearly supplied. Additionally to this, Shona has been very knowledgeable about the build components, and has been able to answer his more technical questions. We would not hesitate to recommend Shona" Nicola and Richard "It has been our pleasure to meet and get to know Shona over the past several months. Because of Shona, we were at the right place, right time, and purchased a property at Ramarama. We are very lucky and delighted to have been able to buy that particular property and we owe that to Shona. Shona, from the start, was so easy to get along with, like a friend we had known for years, Time has marched on and we are now moving forward with our dream home and including a minor dwelling on the site. Thank you Shona, and I can't wait until we can have a glass of wine in my new home, you will be the first! You were just as excited about our journey as we are. and we are so grateful to you." Karen and Garth "We do not have previous experience with a new build in New Zealand. We heard many sad stories about the hassle to build a house. The experience we had with Shona and her team has been so painless and actually fun and enjoyable to see our dream home go from a wish on a piece of paper to a real thing right in front of our eyes. Shona Rapley provided a lot of help during the design phase, Vaughan Sellers is in charge of the construction, he delivered a quality home in a timely manner. Shona and the team go above and beyond in what is required to make the customer happy and we are grateful to have chosen them to build our home." Boa and Ma
