OUR Services
At Thorne Group our team’s expertise extends across a range of areas and is the result of many years of experience in the industry. We can offer advice and guidance regardless of what stage your project is at.
Whether you have an eye on a site to purchase or have owned a property for years, we can provide advice regarding the property’s potential, point out any compliance challenges to be considered and provide budget guidance to develop, build and / or renovate.
Our years of experience in the industry has given us insight into what works well in particular environments, design elements and materials that can maximise a site’s potential and how to identify potential hidden costs, ensuring you get the best value for your investment.
Our understanding of the building code and council regulations along with project costs, means we are well positioned to offer guidance on whether renovating and extending an existing property is the most practical and viable approach. In many situations demolishing and rebuilding offers the most cost-effective outcome to achieve the home you want.
Our comprehensive Project Management service includes coordinating demolition and clearing the site in readiness for construction.
SITE ASSESSMENT & ADVICE
Design and Build Service
Thorne Group is a full-service building company managing every aspect of your project from concept to completion … and beyond.
We can meet you at whatever stage you are at on the journey … whether there’s a vague idea just taking shape in your mind, or you have plans drawn up and are ready to go.
It is our belief that assembling the right team of architectural and interior designers and engaging your builder from the outset yields the best project outcomes in terms of time, budget and efficiency.
We will work with your preferred architectural designer and / or interior designer or can match you with one of our trusted partners, ensuring seamless communication and coordination.
Already have a concept in mind for your project or had plans drawn up?
A great looking design is one thing, but it needs to be buildable to align with your budget.Whether you are looking for some early guidance around setting a realistic budget for your project or are well down the track on the design journey, we can assist.
We offer independent advice, budget guidance and advocacy during the design process ensuring your design employs the most practical construction methods and optimises materials and labour resources.
We believe in being upfront and open about costs and take a ‘no surprises’ approach. Depending on the level of design detail available, we can offer either a preliminary estimate or undertake a fully quoted pricing exercise with our suppliers and subcontractors, presenting you with a comprehensive proposal and realistic cost estimate for your project.
Have a site with subdivision potential? Looking to construct a secondary dwelling or multi-unit development?
Any successful development project begins with a sound feasibility assessment to determine if the project is practically and financially viable.
Subdividing and building on your current site can be an achievable and affordable way to downsize (or upsize) into a new home, help children or family members onto the property ladder or unlock land capital.
Thorne Group has an undisputed track record in executing small-scale, high-quality, secondary and multi-dwelling construction projects.
Our team draws on years of development experience to understand the intricacies of land development and can help you avoid some of the pitfalls and hidden costs to unlock development potential.
Projects that potentially impact the environment or do not comply with the rules of the City or District Plan will require a Resource Consent, triggering a series of additional steps in the development process. Our team draws together the necessary expertise to provide advice and guidance to smoothly navigate the resource consent process.
