82 | “It’s a tailor-made process and we work with the client to develop initial ideas, refine them, create plans and elevations and, when all is ready, build to the highest standards. We don’t spec anything; clients choose each item that goes in their home.” T T‘to page 83 BUILDING Design Builders Hawke’s Bay Creating homes with the ‘wow’ factor T T Karen Phelps This Design Builders Hawke’s Bay home features styling inspired by the classic New York loft. Design Builders Hawke’s Bay has grown rapidly on the back of the housing boom and new leadership. Business partners Tara Todd and Trent Bartle took over the business in 2018 and have taken it to new levels. “Our point of difference is that we deliver to clients the individuality of an architect yet the economies of a housing company,” explains Tara. She says that in order to do this at Design Builders Hawke’s Bay the client’s budget is kept in mind right from the start and the result is a home clients are truly happy with. “It’s a tailor-made process and we work with the client to develop initial ideas, refine them, create plans and elevations and, when all is ready, build to the highest standards. We don’t spec anything; clients choose each item that goes in their home.” After over 30 years, Design Builders has become known as New Zealand’s designers and builders of unique award-winning homes and Design Builders Hawkes Bay has won many accolades at the House of the Year competition. Trent, who worked for Design Builders Hawke’s Bay for six years before becoming a part owner of the business and sits on the committee of Master Builders Hawke’s Bay, says that being part of a national group has had many advantages during the pandemic. “It’s meant we have good supply opportunities and have been able to hold pricing better than most. We’ve also had great support and systems to back everything up.” Design Builders is a little different in that it is not a franchise. The company was started by builder Andy Bell and has been operating in the Hawke’s Bay for three decades where its service company is still based.
