ADVERTORIAL
Embarking on the journey of building a new house or renovation is exciting, but costs can add up quickly.
With the right planning and team, you can keep expenses under control without compromising on quality.
Choose an LBP Builder from the start
If your project involves Restricted Building Work, a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) is legally required.
LBPs meet strict industry standards, ensuring your home is structurally sound, weather-tight and built to last.
For new builds, hiring an experienced builder who can manage everything from initial groundworks through to fitting your front door streamlines the process, saving time and money. You’ll also directly benefit from the trade prices we receive at local timber merchants and our long-standing relationships with subcontractors.
Plan, then plan some more
Rushing into a build without a solid plan can lead to expensive changes.
That’s why we encourage clients to involve us early. We’ll help refine your ideas, ensuring they align with your budget and structural requirements – saving you time, stress, and unexpected costs.
Choose the right contract for your project
The type of build contract you choose can impact the cost. In New Zealand, the two most common options are fixed price contracts and charge up (cost plus) contracts.
Fixed-price contracts provide certainty with a set budget, making financial planning easier. However, the builder may include higher costs to cover unforeseen risks and uncertainties.
With charge-up contracts (or Cost Plus), clients pay just for actual labour and materials used, plus an agreed margin. This option provides flexibility – ideal for renovations or evolving projects. We can also provide cost estimates to assist with budgeting.
