| 93 No delays with prefabricated homes Kelly Deeks Hawke’s Bay Homes takes care of everything including council building consents, site design, planning, and service installation, as well as working with one of New Zealand’s leading house moving businesses. Hawke’s Bay Homes BUILDING Hawke’s Bay Homes has built hundreds of homes, secondary dwellings, holiday and farm accommodation, RSE complexes, and offices in a modern offsite prefabrication building facility in Hastings, with hundreds of clients reaping the rewards of choosing a prefabricated building over traditional on-site construction. Even more pertinent in New Zealand’s current construction climate are the benefits of cost-effective building, efficient building times, and cost transparency. Hawke’s Bay Homes marketing manager Sophie Fischer says there are no delays due to poor weather, and no lag times between subcontractors and council consenting. “Council consents are probably the biggest headache for most builders at the moment,” she says. “Councils can’t keep up with the work on their hands and this is causing months of delays. That’s where we are working smarter - our standard plans are already consented so there are no delays.” No delays with consenting, and no delays with construction due to poor weather either. In its purpose designed prefabrication facility, Hawke’s Bay Homes has the capacity to build up to six buildings at any given time in a covered weatherproof facility, and can design, build, and transport to your property in 12 to 16 weeks. At Hawke’s Bay Homes, the costs of your build are communicated from the start. Regular updates are provided during the building process, and clients are welcome to visit their new home at the factory at any stage of the process. “We encourage our clients to pop in at least once to check on their new build. Building a new transportable home is an exciting process and seeing our clients expressions when walking through the different stages of their new home or holiday house is fantastic to see and very rewarding. “Working through the different building steps happens very quickly here at Hawke’s Bay Homes, so lots of our clients are astonished when they see the progress made.” Clients of Hawke’s Bay Homes have found that a pre-fabricated transportable home can be unique and tailored, exceed quality standards, go easy on the budget, and go fast in a time crunch. When a fire destroyed the shepherd’s house on the Hunsbergers’ farm south of Havelock North, they needed a replacement home as quickly as possible, so started investigating pre-fabricated transportable dwellings. Their initial low expectations due to their preconceived ideas about prefabricated buildings began to rise significantly after a tour of several buildings in progress at Hawke’s Bay Homes. The layout was tailored to suit a farming lifestyle, and an open plan living area with a triple set of sliders across a covered front deck makes the most of the Hawke’s Bay weather. Building a home should be a stress-free, exciting, and enjoyable process, and that’s what Hawke’s Bay Homes delivers, taking care of everything including council building consents, site design, planning, and service installation, as well as working with one of New Zealand’s leading house moving businesses. Every home is designed by an innovative and experienced architectural team, and intended to create a sense of space in every room in the house. All homes are specified with high-quality, high-end finishes and fittings that are completed to an impeccable standard. Councils can’t keep up with the work on their hands and this is causing months of delays. That’s where we are working smarter – our standard plans are already consented so there are no delays.”
