76 | Relaxed rural living RibRaft foundations, steel framing and quality fittings and materials stand the test of time. T T from page 74 BUILDING Golden Homes - Bay of Plenty “People are now happy to live up to about 40 minutes away from the bigger towns and cities, where they can afford a bigger section and a more spacious home for the same, and often even less money. “Affordability aside may of our new customers tell us they are happier with the semi rural lifestyle, enjoying a more relaxed easy-going life in a community that’s more inclusive than the big city. “That’s the appeal of the smaller rural places, and all of these places like Matamata are now coming into their own.” Golden Homes Bay of Plenty has packaged up a range of different options to suit new home buyers at Maea Fields with all types of requirements. Different plan styles, sizes, and section sizes. Three of these packages have also been popular at Three Creeks Estate in Tauranga, albeit with an additional $100,000 on the price tag. Golden Homes’ tagline, ‘It’s a better home you own’ speaks to the company’s unwavering use of high quality fittings, materials, and products, and its constant drive to raise building standards. From insulated RibRaft foundations to steel framing, solid wood skirting boards, and high quality handles, hinges, and even light switches, Golden Homes selects quality products that are better for their clients and stand the test of time. “With Golden Homes’ buying power throughout New Zealand, we can often source these products for less than other builders have to pay for lesser quality products.” Steve has led Golden Homes Bay of Plenty for 25 years and says he has always liked the group’s research and development stance. “We’ve always been a step ahead of the industry,” he says. “Golden Homes started in the times when all of the houses were low quality fibre cement board cladding and iron roofs, but Golden Homes pioneered quality brick and tile homes. We’ve since gone further with double glazed windows in all of our houses some eight years prior to it becoming a requirement. “Today we offer exclusive Zog steel framing, and much of our work currently is tied up with the new H1 energy efficiency requirements for insulating new homes. “We are constantly researching innovative solutions and improvements to insulation, so we can get Golden Homes to an even higher level than the rest of the industry.” 0508 BRADNAMS (272 362) bradnams.co.nz Bradnam’s supporting Golden Homes on their aluminium joinery.
