The owners of this beautiful custom-built home had spent 18 months with another home builder trying to force an inflexible design onto a challenging block. They had to work through the sales consultant, who would take conversations back to unseen engineers and architects. The list of variations, compromises and extra costs that came back from the salesperson lengthened every month.
Being a custom builder, the couple were able to start from a fresh page with us, starting from the block and designing the house, not the other way round. They were guided directly by the designer and the builder working in partnership. Dealing directly with the builder, we were always available to answer questions which are dealt with quickly. The process was what the owners had wanted in the first place. More importantly, the result was their perfect home, custom built at a price comparable to the project home but at a higher quality.
The owners benefited from the flexibility of building a custom home during construction being able to move two internal walls after they walked through the site and realized they’d like more space in those areas. We do our very best to accommodate our customers’ wishes, whatever the stage of the project. The outcome is a contemporary family residence with with exceptional detailing and fabulous flow.
What the pictures don’t show is the design and work that went into building the house on soft soil. The engineering beneath the surface called for significant earthworks and extra reinforcement, including screw piers.
