100 | Coast NZ Construction BUILDING Demand for renovations rises in Bay of Plenty Kelly Deeks Coast NZ Construction builds two to three new homes a year, but is principally focused on the renovation market. “We keep things clear and we keep things fair, because we want to be in business for another 30 years.” Specialising in new homes and renovation projects throughout the Bay of Plenty, Coast NZ Construction is there to take the stress out of the process for its clients, allowing them to focus on all the important and necessary decisions ahead of them. Husband and wife team Jimmy and Charlie Dow started Coast NZ Construction in 2014, and have always kept transparency at the core of their operation. “We know that people have saved up hard or they are working hard to be able to build or renovate their home, and we believe they deserve to know exactly where their hard earned money is going,” Charlie says. “We keep things clear and we keep things fair, because we want to be in business for another 30 years.” Building two to three new homes each year, Coast NZ Construction is principally focused on the renovation market, and demand for these is continuing to rise as available land becomes more and more scarce. More time at home for many in these Covid times has also spurred renovation demand, as home owners realise how much they needed that extra toilet, or how much more comfortable their home could be with more lounge space. “Land is at a premium, especially in the Mount and Papamoa, but even in Tauranga there are a lot of beautiful old homes that will all need to be done up eventually. We like the renovation projects because Jimmy always likes a challenge, and we get to work more closely with the client as things can often change during a renovation. When our team is working around a family who is staying in their home during their renovation, they become a part of the family as well. Renovations are a lot more personal, and we love helping our clients to add value to the homes they love.” Clients have said choosing Coast NZ Construction is one of the best decisions they made for their renovation project, with professionalism and open, clear communication from beginning to end. The team brings effort, foresight, ingenuity, and attention to detail to its projects, allowing them to deliver results that are often way above client expectations. Knowledgeable and approachable, builder Jimmy is supported by a team of 15, including Charlie and Loz liaising with clients from the office, and project manager Stu organising everything on site. Loyalty is a key factor in Coast NZ Construction’s operation, and Jimmy and Charlie have found their dream team of subcontractors and suppliers who deliver their services to the same high standards as Coast NZ Construction. “We are super loyal to the suppliers and subcontractors we use. We know how they work, they know what we require, we can be honest with each other, and we can all help each other to deliver the best service to our clients that we possibly can.” Jimmy and Charlie continue to refine and perfect their processes. They have always engaged the plumber and electrician to meet with clients, discuss their specific requirements, and explain the options for solutions, and are now doing the same with other individual subtrades. “The thing with renovations is every one is different. Every client has different needs, and we want to meet those as best we can.” proud to be the plumbers behind Coast NZ Construction Scaffolding | Edge Protection 07 544 5949 info@vergenz.co.nz
