About Fraemohs

Fraemohs design and build superior Scandinavian-inspired homes.

What We Do

Fraemohs Homes are dedicated to designing and building high-quality homes that are inspired by the timeless and elegant principles of Scandinavian architecture. Our commitment to quality craftsmanship is evident in every aspect of our homes, from the use of natural materials to the thoughtful, functional layouts that prioritize comfort and livability. Drawing from the minimalist aesthetic and the deep connection to nature that Scandinavian design is known for, Fraemohs Homes creates living spaces that are not only beautiful but also practical, sustainable, and built to last.

Our Founding Story

Monni Fraemohs founded Fraemohs Homes with a vision to create exceptional homes using New Zealand’s renewable timber resources. His deep commitment to innovation and sustainability was shaped by his Scandinavian roots—values he carried with him when he emigrated from post-WWII Denmark as an engineer. In 1968, Monni began building timber homes that, while simple by today’s standards, have stood the test of time, proving their durability and quality.

In the early 2000s, Bob Foster joined the company, bringing extensive experience in commercial construction and a dedication to continuing Monni’s vision. His son, Tim Foster, followed in the early 2010s after working abroad as an engineer. With a passion for innovation and contemporary design, Tim brought fresh ideas to the company, helping to propel Fraemohs Homes into the future.

Amanda van der Kley joined the team in 2016, drawn to Fraemohs’ craftsmanship and strong team culture. Having grown up in the industry and with extensive experience, she set out to expand the company’s reach, ensuring more communities could experience the warmth and quality of a Fraemohs home.

Today, Fraemohs Homes continues to honor Monni’s legacy—pushing the boundaries of innovation while staying true to its core values of sustainability, craftsmanship, and customer care.

When you build with Fraemohs, you’re building something for life.
