Queenstown’s Bennie Builders latest construction overlooking Lake Wakatipu and only minutes from Queenstowns CBD.
Open the impressive steel front door of Unit B to be welcomed by a ceiling lit entrance depicting the Matareki constellation. The light oak stairs draw the eye up to the long skylight that brings natural light through the first and second floors. At night the stairs can be backlit for ambience and safety. The honed block wall captures the natural heat from the sun during the day and radiates this out during the cooler hours.
A turn at the entrance way takes you through to the generous garage, lower bathroom, laundry, workshop and storeroom with shelving and ski racks.
Unit B is offers 4 double bedrooms with feature ceilings of tongue and groove cedar, three 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 upper level is the living floor with a large walk through kitchen, which connects to the living and dining areas, front and rear.
There are two outside courts. A front balcony off the living room gives the best position for lake views while the courtyard at the back offers alfresco dining.
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.
