84 | BUILDING Jones Builders Richard Loader Brace of awards for Tauranga builder The silver award winning show home has a mix of Abodo and weatherboard cladding. Already a multi-award winning residential builder, Tauranga based Jones Builders added two new Master Builders’ awards at this year’s Bay of Plenty & Central Plateau House of the Year awards. The judges awarded Jones Builders the Gold award in the New Home up to $500,000 category, while awarding Silver in the Gib Show Home category. Managing Director Brad Jones says after sixteen years in the industry straight from school, his passion for his craft is seeing young families move into homes that they really love. “We’re just a small company that takes pride in all our work, and we’re very personable on each project we do. Winning the awards is very good for the team. “They’re always striving to build each home to the highest standard, with the hope that it will be entered into the awards. They love the competition. Being judged by their peers and winning the awards is great affirmation of their workmanship. “I get a real buzz out of what the boys have achieved and I’m very proud of them. This is our fourth award now, having won awards previously in 2019 and 2020. “There was the biggest pool of entries across all categories for the region this year and so we were pretty stoked to have won this year.” The gold winning entry was a four-bedroom home in Bethlehem that was built for a young family, who went for a traditional weatherboard country style home. “It was their first new home and they were very involved in the design process, sitting down with our designers and interior designers and going through the process of achieving their goals for a home, that was within their budget.” While the traditional-style weatherboards and gables give the four-bedroom home a sense of heritage and permanence, the interior exudes a sense of luxury The main bedroom has a wall of wardrobe space and a generous ensuite complete with walk-in shower, washed-oak cabinetry, crisp white tiles and an arch-shaped mirror. A free-standing bath invites languid relaxation. “As a builder, we loved the detail that went into the home, including V-groove panelling on the master bedroom walls, different height ceilings in the lounge and kitchen area to give it that grand look and the kitchen was a very cool aspect right in the heart of the home. The clients have been in for eight months now and love their new home.” Showcasing their workmanship and the diverse options for a new build, Jones Builders’ Papamoa show home was designed for raising a family. The single-story T-shaped home is a mix of Abodo and weatherboard cladding, and includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a powder room. Large sliders open up onto a wrap-around kwila deck, seamlessly connecting the lounge, dining space and main bedroom suite with the outdoors. Different height ceilings showcase how a home can be made to look just a little special. Floor to ceiling timber screens separate the entrance from the lounge area. Based in Tauriko, a suburb of Tauranga, the team at Jones Builders work throughout the Bay of Plenty region, undertaking a diverse range of residential projects including house and land / design and build packages, right through to large architectural projects. “We also do a lot of renovation and alteration work,” says Brad. “We have a good team behind us who make it all happen. A lot of our work is word of mouth and repeat business now. We get a real kick out of finishing a project and having a beer with the home’s owner and talking about the build journey.” ...we o er competitive rates and a range of interior and exterior painting services.
