The client of this stunning architecturally designed home was
seeking comfortable and luxurious living. This home is unique in
both its construction and building and consists of three storeys
complete with personal lift, a wine cellar, and floor to ceiling
windows and sliding doors. Heat and energy efficiency were also key
objectives in the design of this house, with every floor being
fully insulated for energy efficiency, as well as the attached
garage. This home also features all that the top technology has to
offer including speakers in the floors with hidden wires and
acoustic panelling in the ceiling above the dinner table in the

Project #2: Kaikorai Valley Gymnasium- Light Commercial
Work
Completion Date: Mid 2008
The major objectives of this light commercial
design and build project were simplicity, functionality and for
minimal maintenance work to be required, as well as integration of
the new gym facility with the existing hall and student and office
areas. As the project managers and contractors for this build, our
team was given a budget and scope of the project, and were told
that ventilation and light were crucial aspects.
This gym is fully insulated and heated by an
innovative and efficient oil-powered heating system, and features a
ceiling panelled with noise control panels. The end result was a
well-insulated, efficient, functional, and sound proof gymnasium,
with a full-sized court with room for viewing stands on the sides
of the court and at each end, delivered to the client on time and
on budget, and is a prime example of excellent communication
between the client and our team and an innovative "green"
building.

Project #3: Commercial Project- Small Industrial
Warehouse
Completion Date:
This project is unique in both its
construction and in the approach that the client took towards the
build. This industrial warehouse was initially an older building
that was demolished, and in order to save money, part of the old
structure was gutted so the existing foundations, external walls
and structural beams were kept and our team started with a new
concrete slab and built a new structure and roof.
This building, which is fully insulated and lined above the
current code of insulation at the clients request, includes
offices, a kitchen and toilet facilities, double glazed commercial
windows, and is now a heat efficient, dry building which is
therefore cheaper to run. The aim of this project was not
innovation or design, but rather to find a cost effective solution
for the client, and through using an old, run down building that
needed work the end result was a nicer, newer, more modern and
convenient building.
