This client was a First Home Buyer using Kiwi Saver and Welcome Home Grants who had done the rounds, many open homes, staged show homes and enquires only to find exactly what he didn’t want ….this sent him on the search for a small, local company who knew what they were doing and could delivery beauty on a budget.  

Born from want of ‘no fuss’ this modern sleek monochrome home very quickly had a style. This client’s wish list was, large bathrooms, solid chunky benches, hidden away pantry, black features and crisp white walls – and that’s exactly what they got! From the granite slab vanities with matt black visible pipework to the 200kg hand-poured concrete benchtops and fire seating bench, this home is every bit a monochrome piece of magic. Clean lines and evident throughout the entire home, and it feels very special in the bathrooms by the addition of black toilets – yes matt black toilets. 

There are two in the house, featured in the en-suite behind the walk-in wardrobe and the powder room toilet for guests. These were an addition that was to keep in line with this sleek vibe of the home and were just the cherry on the top for the theme. Both the shower and kitchen splashback were custom pieces of glass, it is always better to make it work spatially and in proportion. More lights in the hallway, under the rangehood and along the back wall of the splashback add the magic to what is pure perfection in the eye of a minimalist. Can you believe this is the home of a First Home Buyer?

About the
Professional

Lee and Kate Baillie are anything but your typical home building company.
Designing custom new homes from NZ made steel framing is not only their day job but their absolute passion. In 2011 after many years in the game, BCL was born to help other Kiwi’s build their dream, whether it be the first or the first of many. From initial stages such as finding a section, engineering, architect involvement, council, floor plans, selecting all of the fixtures and fittings, right through to handing over the keys. Lee and Kate offer and insist on a full hand-holding approach to building whereby you are on-site for all subcontractor planning meetings to ensure you get exactly what you want, where you want, right down to where the extra plug for the Christmas lights will go - because it’s your hard-earnt money after all. Their keen eye for detail and level of perfection that comes from not only their own experience but from their long-standing builders and same set of core subtrades over the past decade makes for beautiful on budget homes, every single time. 

We Build Dreams (not cookie-cutter homes)
Every build is in house project managed and interior designed under a fixed priced building contract so you know exactly what you are getting from the outset. Having a wealth of knowledge for product, placement and where to find the best bang for your buck is a skill that is also part of what you get with BCL, their trade deals are passed onto you as there is no salespeople, flashy office, or nationwide advertising to cover. This is a big part of who they are and what they do – no extra guff. As well as being franchise free, they are a family-run and full of fun team who pride themselves on the actively ensuring eco-sustainable practices are upheld and use NZ designed and made products where ever possible to continue be a part of our country’s economy. Lee and Kate can be found actively supporting many charities and participating in events within their community because they believe in being locals.  

Anyone can build you a home, but it’s the little things that make all the difference.
