Lockwood Homes International

Lockwood has been exporting pre-manufactured homes and commercial buildings worldwide for over fifty years. The performance of our homes in extreme weather conditions makes them an ideal fit in areas such as the Pacific Rim, regularly hit by cyclones and earthquakes, and the pre-manufactured nature of the components make them perfect for export to remote areas. Each home or commercial building is designed in precise detail and then completely pre-manufactured in our Rotorua factory. The components for the build are carefully packed in containers ready to be dispatched anywhere in the world. On arrival, they can be quickly and easily assembled by local tradespeople with quite basic training, although there is usually an experienced Lockwood builder on hand to provide support and guidance. This ensures every Lockwood home is built to the exacting standards we are known for, anywhere in the World. We specialise not only in private homes but also on commercial buildings such as churches, meeting houses, hospitals, and accommodation, where Lockwood’s legendary low lifetime maintenance costs are often a decisive factor.
