“We loved the fact that we only ever had to deal with one person (Clint). He helped keep us within our budget while also being flexible and accommodating with some of our requests.”
It depends on the zoning, section size, access and services, and the rules of the council it sits in (Hamilton City, Waipā or Waikato District). We check this early with our designer before you spend money on plans. Some sites need a resource consent, and we'll tell you if yours is likely to.
Your Master Builders Agreement is a fixed price for the agreed plans, specification and scope. For investment builds it can also include the costs that often catch investors out, such as council consent fees, development contributions, the driveway and vehicle crossing, landscaping, fencing and curtains. Where these are allowances, the amount is written into your addendum, and any exclusions are listed before you sign.
Often, yes. A home with a minor dwelling can give you two rental incomes or room for family. The rules depend on the size of the unit and your council. Our guide to the 70 m² minor dwelling rules explains the current options, and we can check your site.
We design new rentals with the Healthy Homes Standards in mind, including working out the heating needed for each main living area at design stage and sizing the heat pumps to suit. As the landlord, you're responsible for your compliance statement, and we'll give you the information you need for it.
No. Talk to your mortgage adviser, accountant and lawyer about lending, tax and ownership structure. We give you what they need from us: plans, a fixed-price contract, the specification and a progress payment schedule.
Yes. Some of our current packages come with information for investors, such as a rent appraisal or rental terms in the sales sheet. See our house and land packages, or ask us what's coming up.
