These Latest Projects by Bennie Builders is known by Queenstown locals as the Binocular House
Occupying an elevated position and built over three levels these units have unimpeded views across Lake Wakatipu to the mountains beyond. They are just a short step up from the Town Centre.
Standing proud with a binocular appearance these architecturally designed units are leading the change in an area where redevelopment is in its early stages.
Unit A offers two double bedrooms, a bespoke four berth bunk room, two bathrooms, a separate toilet, separate living and dining, a walkthrough kitchen, two outdoor areas, double garage with laundry and storeroom, plus extra off street parking.
The design of the window joinery ensures clear view shafts and the eight meter long skylight maximizes natural light down the stairwell to the entranceway.
The appreciative eye will notice the fine workmanship including; the in-situ concrete arch surrounding the pivoted front door, negative detailing, raked ceilings, honed blockwork, exposed rafters, cedar tongue and groove ceilings, salt and pepper polished concrete floors, floor to ceiling internal doors, bespoke steel fabrication, custom oak joinery and backlit oak stairway.
Bennie Builders is a privately-owned company situated in Arrowtown and run by James and Mia. Projects include award winning private residences, small subdivisions, shop fit outs, large and small renovations and outdoor areas.
What makes us different; Bennie Builders is unique to other building firms as it has two workflows. Firstly, where we finish works for clients and the second we design and construct our own properties to sell. This secondary work flow gives us the advantage of understanding what is vital to our clients as we are the client. We appreciate the importance to keeping to a budget and avoiding overruns and ensuring that the project is finished on time. Another advantage of our mixed structure is that we have a "store" of work capacity that we can divert from our own projects and used to excel progress on your build when needed.
Our business philosophy is to provide top quality workmanship at a fair cost. Regardless of whether a build is a multimillion dollar project or a modest build we apply the same level of workmanship and personal eye to detail. Our boutique structure means that responsibility for quality isn’t delegated out and not monitored. Mistakes cost money for both the client and Bennie Builders so we try our utmost to do it once and do it right the first me. Our structure means that our clients consistently have a two person check at each stage of the project. First with the foreman of the site who is on the job 100% and whose work performance is measured against the success of the project and secondly with James’ supervision and personal monitoring to ensure the quality of Bennie Builders projects are maintained. Bennie Builders name and reputation will be forever attached to your project so it is important to us that your project is completed on time and budget to your satisfaction.
