Award-winning Universal Homes is one of New Zealand’s most highly regarded home building companies. The company began in the 1960s, focusing on designing and building attractive, affordable houses for first-time buyers. Today, Universal also caters for second-time-plus buyers, beach home owners, retirees and investors.
In mid-2005, Universal asked Word Sense to help on an on-going basis with the company’s external communications – text for media releases, newsletters and Universal’s website.

Universal Homes Sales Manager Mike Pearce says: “With Word Sense writing our press releases and client newsletters – and more recently the text for our website - the professional standard of our communications has risen significantly. When we began working with them in 2005, we were looking for a communications company that would understand our business, be pro-active and easy to work with, and write clear, professional text that delivers results. Word Sense achieved all of this from the outset and I have no hesitation in recommending them to other companies.
