| 119 BUILDING “A lot of builders don’t enjoy renovations because not everything is plumb, square, or level,” he says, “but we love the challenge of working with what’s there.” Keeping with the winery’s aesthetic Specialists in residential renovations of every scale; L and P Builders was established in 2020. Wairarapa based, family-owned building company, L and P Builders Ltd have transformed an old manager’s house at a Martinborough winery into an accommodation facility fit for international visitors. The building, originally constructed in the early 2000s, was transformed into a modern, functional space for entertaining and accommodating international guests at Craggy Range Winery, by the experienced L and P Build crew, led by licensed builders and business partners Pat Topham and Leith Miller. “We gutted the whole house, did a small extension, and converted it from three bedrooms to two, each with ensuites,” says Pat. The team also updated the kitchens and bathrooms with modern fixtures and finishes, including fully tiled bathrooms and decorative ceiling beams in living areas. The exterior was clad in galvanised iron, in keeping with the winery’s aesthetic. This six-month project, situated on a hill overlooking the vineyard and lake, was a complete transformation, and the clients were thrilled with the results. “It was a really nice job,”” says Pat. “The interior is completely modernised and even has a small conference room for meetings.” The significant renovation is the largest to date says Pat, from a small but experienced build team of two licensed builders, one qualified builder and two apprentices, one of which is close to completing his certification. Specialists in residential renovations of every scale; L and P Builders was established in 2020 by Pat and Leith who had worked together for 12 years for other construction companies before deciding to establish their own. “We can build a new architecturally designed bespoke home,” says Pat, “or we can manage large scale renovations and remodels or a straightforward bathroom or kitchen reno.” According to Pat their passion for renovations stems from the unique challenges that existing homes present.
