Looking for a team to guide and help drive budget-led design decisions that optimise efficient use of materials and labour?
Free Site Assessment and Consultation
Curious about your site potential?
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.
Independent Construction Advice and Advocacy
Already working with an architectural design and looking for an independent opinion?
A great looking design is one thing, but it needs to be buildable to align with your budget. As construction experts, working alongside your architectural designer, we can provide valuable insight into creating affordable designs that work.
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.
Full-service Residential Construction
We are a full-service building company managing all aspects of your project from concept to completion … and beyond.
We can meet you at whatever stage you are 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.
Our Client Care Managers will guide you through the process alongside our Project Managers, skilled building professionals committed to managing and delivering your project on time and on budget.
Overseeing demolition and site clearance, project planning, coordinating suppliers and scheduling subcontractors, liaising with architects, interior specialists, landscape designers, engineers, building surveyors and local councils and resolving technical queries … every aspect of your project is taken care of for you.
Design and Build Collaboration
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 outcome 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.
Applying a collaborative approach throughout the early design and drawing phase allows us to provide input and guidance, driving budget-led design decisions that optimise efficient use of materials and labour.
Project pricing / Budget guidance
Already have a concept in mind for your project or had plans drawn up?
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 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.
We can offer Fixed Price Contracts (in most circumstances) for clients who are needing price certainty or are concerned about price escalation.
renovate or rebuild
Understanding what your vision is for your site and helping weigh up what is necessary to achieve that vision is something we excel at.
Unlocking land for development and construction often involves removing or demolishing an existing dwelling. Our comprehensive Project Management service includes coordinating demolition and clearing the site in readiness for construction.
Our understanding of changes to the building code and council regulations over the years 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.
Subdivision / Development Advice
Have a site with subdivision potential?
Looking to add a secondary dwelling? 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 generate a secondary rental income stream. 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.
Feasibility Studies and Resource Consent Management
Any successful development project begins with a sound feasibility assessment to determine if the project is practically and financially viable.
Projects that may 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 on the feasibility of potential development projects and help navigate the resource consent process.
