Based in the beautiful Auckland district of New Zealand, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional craftsmanship and a seamless construction experience. Whether it’s a recladding project, a renovation, an addition, or a commercial build, our commitment to quality and client satisfaction remains unwavering. Let’s take you behind the scenes of our process to show you how we can transform your vision into a stunning reality.

The Initial Onsite Meeting: Laying the Foundation

Every successful project starts with a deep understanding of our clients’ goals, needs, and ideas. Our journey begins with an initial onsite meeting, where we sit down with you to discuss your vision in detail. This crucial step allows us to get a comprehensive grasp of what you want to achieve, how you envision your space, and the practicalities surrounding it. We also take into account your set budget to ensure we can deliver a project that balances ambition and feasibility.

During this meeting, we focus on listening. We want to hear your ideas, understand your priorities, and identify any specific requirements you might have. It’s an open dialogue where your input shapes the foundation of our plan. This collaborative approach ensures that we are aligned with your expectations from the very beginning.

The Second Meeting: Bringing Ideas to Life

After our initial meeting, we retreat to our drawing boards, where our design team and project managers start to piece together the perfect plan for your project. However, it’s the second meeting where the magic truly begins. This is when we invite you to join us alongside our suppliers and design experts to start making critical design decisions.

In this meeting, we delve into the specifics: choosing the right colour schemes, selecting suitable tiles, and picking out cabinet options that will perfectly match your unique taste. This stage is incredibly exciting for our clients as they see their vision start to take shape. We present various options, discuss the pros and cons of different materials, and ensure that every choice aligns with your style and functionality needs.

The Detailed Planning: From Paper to Reality

As we meticulously plan the final details and finishes, we can see the excitement build. This phase is where your dream starts turning into a tangible plan. We ensure that all elements are cohesively designed and meticulously detailed on paper before any construction begins. This thorough preparation phase helps us avoid surprises down the line and ensures that the execution phase runs smoothly.

Our clients appreciate this comprehensive planning because it provides a clear roadmap of what to expect. You can visualise your new space, understand the timelines, and see how each element will come together to create the final masterpiece.

The Full Turnkey Package: Comprehensive Management

We offer a full turnkey package, meaning we handle every aspect of your project from start to finish. This includes architectural drawings, input from engineers if needed, navigating council processes, project management, and of course, the actual design and build. Our goal is to make the process as stress-free as possible for you.

By managing the entire project, we ensure consistency, quality, and adherence to your vision throughout. You have a single point of contact who coordinates all the moving parts, keeping you informed and involved every step of the way.
