Driven by passion. Building with purpose.
Our passion for design, architecture, and fine building drives our results. Like fire feeding on fire.
Everyone has a different definition for sanctuary. The common element? Our understanding of what it takes to build you yours.
For every Rannala Freeborn project, we involve ourselves right from the start; collaborating early with architects, consultants, and our clients. Those lines of communication stay open throughout the build, which supports appropriate and agile design, alignment with budget and timelines, and exceptional work from the team. This master project management is what enables us to build daring, architecturally complex homes that set an entirely new bar on the South Island.
Our ability to engineer solutions to intricate architectural questions sets us apart. And our disciplined integrity has earned us an in-house team of highly trained craftsmen—each of whom arrive at work every day primed to deliver the level of service we’ve become known for.
We limit the amount of work we take on to ensure each project is fully managed by either Troy, Dave, or both. This high-touch philosophy underpins the success of each Rannala Freeborn project.
Meet the team.
Harmony. Rigor. Perfection. The marker for quality.
End-to-end attention to every detail.
As long-time admirers of each other’s work, Troy and Dave began to exchange ideas around collaboration in early 2016. After finding they shared each others core views surrounding building, management and life in general, a partnership was soon struck bringing together 40 years of extraordinary homebuilding experience. Shared values—honesty, dignity of work and relationships, and honouring quality over quantity—is what makes this engine hum. The pride Dave and Troy take in the engagement of each project shows in the final product.
David Rannala, Partner / Project Manager
A straight shooter known for his meticulous construction and high bar for quality, Dave Rannala is a seasoned master in the design-build space. His ability to envision how a drawn plan will translate to a physical structure has earned him repute with architects around the world.
Running his own building company for 19 years before joining forces with Troy, Dave worked hands-on from drawing to designing to delivering on people’s dreams. It’s still the way he works. Humble, intuitive and organized, Dave lives his commitment to quality through his high level of daily involvement with Rannala Freeborn homes as they come to life.

His fastidious management and discerning oversight earns us deep relationships with our clients that last well beyond the day they take ownership of their home.
