Classic Taupo residence featuring innovative engineering solutions for a challenging site, completed in 2019, with enhanced structural integrity and design accommodating motorhome parking.

From the front this Taupo house is perfectly level with the pavement. However, prior to building the section dropped away steeply from the pavement. Ian and his team consulted and worked with engineers in order to build and infill a retaining wall to support the front part of the house and to install wooden support poles and beams to support the back two-thirds of the single storey home.

 

This also included altering the pole and bracing design/layout to enable the clients to park their motorhome between the poles under the house. This home was also built to standards exceeding the NZ Building Code – as covered further in our section about Healthy Homes.

“In June 2019 we commissioned Chamberlain Carpentry and Joinery to renovate our 2001 built home. It was a major undertaking involving recladding, reinsulating, new doors and windows and reconfiguration and updating of the interior. Not only was the workmanship excellent but the team were always polite, hard-working and a pleasure to work with. A big positive was Ian's communication skills before, during and after the project was completed. His communication with us and his team prevented misunderstanding and we felt we were all on the same wavelength. We would happily work with Ian and his team again.”
