Our Building Process

Custom designed by qualified builders.

Nine steps to building in paradise, made easy

A great example of the team at Vanuatu Homes working our magic can be seen with this Teouma Bay example of a Moonlighter design. It’s yet another example of Vanuatu Homes working its magic with custom designs brought to reality by qualified builders working on fixed price contracts.
