What we've been working on
Our focus is whole-home and architectural upgrades where planning, structure, and services need experienced coordination. We prioritise liveability, durability, and a finish that lifts the entire property.
Transform how your home works with reconfigured layouts, new joinery, improved insulation, and high-performance finishes. We manage consents, trades, and sequencing so the build keeps momentum with minimal disruption.
Work directly with us and your architect to realise complex designs with precision. We value engineer where useful, protect design intent, and execute the details that make a premium renovation feel effortless.
Respect the character, update the performance. We restore period features, integrate modern services, and match profiles so old and new sit together seamlessly.
Create a natural extension of your interior with decks, louvres, and alfresco areas. We design for sun, shelter, and flow, with durable materials that suit coastal Bay of Plenty conditions.
Where appropriate, we undertake reclads as part of larger renovations to improve performance and street appeal. We follow best-practice sequencing for investigation, repairs, and compliant enclosure.
When your brief calls for a ground-up build, we deliver architecturally led new homes with rigorous programme control, clear cost tracking, and the same award-recognised finish we bring to our renovations.
Our core business is major and architectural renovations, not one-off kitchen or bathroom swaps. We understand staging, services upgrades, structural changes, and live-in considerations.
Alex is on the tools and on site. Communication is straightforward, decisions are recorded, and you’ll always know what’s next.
We supply product warranties and maintenance guides, with workmanship guarantees appropriate to your scope. Learn more about the value of formal building warranties via the Registered Master Builders Association.

HEARÂ WHATÂ OURÂ CLIENTSÂ SAYÂ ABOUTÂ US
At what stage do I need to involve a builder in my new build project?
This can vary from person to person, and project to project.Some clients are willing to come up with a plan and design on their own and some prefer to have the builder do all this for them. This can be a good idea especially with renovation work as if you do not have the vision and experience required it can actually lead to a lot of stress and put you in a negative frame of mind before anything is achieved.
Will I need building consent from the Council before we start?
The majority of building and renovation work will require a consent, although there are certain types of “exempt” work that can be carried out without council consent if completed by a licensed building practitioner.
Do I need to use a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP)?
Certain projects are classed as “restricted” - for these, you will need a LBP to complete the work. Work involving the building structure, weather tightness require a competent builder to complete. A record of work (ROW) can only be completed by a licensed builder and this paperwork gets lodged on the council files.
Do I need my builder to be a member of a building association
The answer is no, but it is highly recommended.By using a member of CBANZ (Certified Builders of New Zealand) you will be sure they are trade-qualified and have suitable references and are always up-skilling to keep on top of their trade.
Do you follow a documented process for your building projects
Yes we do. You can read about our 6 Step Process here.
