Talk to a builder before you finish the plans
Most people go to a designer first, get a set of drawings they love, and only then find out what it costs to build. By that point the expensive decisions are already made.Bring us in at the planning stage instead. We can work alongside your designer or architect, or help you get the drawings done — and either way we can tell you what a decision costs while it's still a line on a page rather than a variation on site.It doesn't commit you to anything, and it's free.
What We Do
Before the build
Working with your designer, or arranging drawings
Costing decisions while they're still changeable
Building consent
Fixed written price, priced line by line
A programme with real dates on it
The build
Site works, foundations and services
Framing, roof, cladding and joinery
Specialist trades coordinated by us
Driveway, fencing and landscaping
Council inspections and Code Compliance
You get one price, one programme, and one person to ring — not six numbers and a gap between every trade.
Our own builders, not whoever's free
We're the main contractor and we carry our own team of builders who self-perform the building work. Specialist trades — electrical, plumbing, drainage, painting — we coordinate on top.
It means the person who priced your home is connected to the person building it. When you ask why something's being done a certain way, you get an answer from someone who was there.
What you're actually covered by
This is worth understanding properly, because it's rarely explained.
What the law already gives you — ten years
The Building Act 2004 sets out implied warranties on all residential building work. They apply automatically, to every builder in New Zealand, written into the contract or not:
-
The work will be done properly and competently, and to the approved consent drawings and specifications.
-
Materials will be suitable and, unless the contract says otherwise, new.
-
The work will comply with the Building Act and the Building Code.
-
It will be carried out with reasonable care and skill, and finished in the agreed time — or a reasonable time if none is stated.
-
The home will be suitable to live in when the work is done.
-
Where you've relied on the builder's skill to achieve a particular outcome, the work and materials will be fit for that purpose.
These are your rights, not our offer. Every residential builder is bound by them. We mention it because plenty don't, and you should know where you stand.
What we add on top
-
A 12 month workmanship guarantee on every quoted job — ours, in writing.
-
Manufacturers' guarantees on materials, not less than one year.
-
A fixed written price, valid 30 days, before anything starts.
-
Licensed Building Practitioner and a Record of Work on completion.
