Time for a change.

A professional couple living in Hong Kong, our clients had demolished the old bach on this Te Ngaio site and decided to build a new home retreat for their regular trips back to New Zealand. Looking for a modern, apartment-style home they could lock and keep automatically secure with digital timers, their architect recommended our expertise. Keeping the couple in the loop with the progress of their building project was even more essential with them being based overseas. Diana and Doug visited when they were able, but much of the communication was carried out with regular emails.

We dealt with any issues that arose in the same way we would if they were local, with clear and transparent communication. This beautiful contemporary home won the Gold Award, Kitchen Award, Bathroom Award and a Gold Reserve Award in the Registered Master Builders competition. We couldn’t be more proud of our handiwork!

How we work

Quality project management and clear, consistent communication is key to an enjoyable building experience. With us, you get an open book. we work with you, your architect, our quantity surveyor, our contractors and subcontractors to give you the home of your dreams, something we can all be proud of.

Our process:

  • Get the ball rolling. If you need some help with scope, design concepts and ideas to bring to your architect’s plans, our extensive building knowledge makes the design process easier. We know what works, how to practically achieve your vision and when to consider alternatives.
  • Realistic pricing – We work with the quantity surveyor to give an estimated project scope and then sit down with you to talk it through and align building practicalities with concept drawings, ideas and inspiration.
  • Once the scope, budget and project overview is agreed, we coordinate, project manage and communicate with contractors to start work.
  • The journey begins. We work alongside you, your family and neighbours to make sure the building experience meets your expectations, fits your budget and achieves the best result.
