By Sugrue Construction Limited
This architecturally designed home was to replace an earthquake family home on a narrow site, working with the architects and clients on budget constraints without sacrificing quality. The home is open plan which caters for the busy family, with the addition of a separate lounge where a lovely book shelf and gas fire has been installed. The three bedrooms all have there own modern bathrooms and toilets.
The exterior is of cedar cladding, and a large deck wraps around two sides of the home for entertaining purposes, with steps leading toward the garden.
The front of the home is finished with a bolstered block that gives the home an established look even though it is a new build. Under tile heating installation and aluminium joinery throughout is a must from clients in this area of town in winter months.
The clients and architect were extremely happy with the final product that we delivered on time and budget.
Sugrue Construction was formed in 2005 by Steven Sugrue. It is a residential construction company with a genuine passion for building architectural homes.
Steven began his career working in South Canterbury. This is where he developed a very broad range of skill sets, as the amount of sub trades available was not extensive in rural areas. Due to this background Steven has created Sugrue construction with a very hands on approach, coupled with a real team philosophy and strong communication. Today, Steven continues to be a hands on builder, but also the project manager and client go-to person in one. It is this approach which makes Sugrue Construction stand out from the rest.
Steven has extensive experience building high end architectural homes in Queenstown, Canterbury and Sydney. In 2002, Steven chose to return to Christchurch and embrace New Zealand architectural work which he felt had more challenging design and complexity. With over 30 years in the building industry, Steven states his passion for building is greater than ever before. “We still have so much more to achieve”.
