102 | Multiple awards for Palm Springs-style stunner The company received multiple awards for the stunning Palm Springs-style home designed by Jack McKinny Architects. BUILDING Kane Build Group T T Karen Phelps Kane Building Group, a boutique residential building firm based on Auckland’s North Shore, has been rewriting the rules of construction with its innovative approaches to building design and execution. Led by Anthony and Anna Kane, the company has garnered widespread acclaim for its commitment to architectural excellence and craftsmanship as evidenced by its award winning home at the 2023 Registered Master Builders House of the Year competition. The company received multiple awards for the stunning Palm Springs-style home designed by Jack McKinny Architects in the Auckland / Northland / Coromandel New Home over $4 million category: Supreme House of the Year, Category Winner, Plumbing World Bathroom Excellence, Outdoor Living and Gold. It also took out the National Kitchen Excellence award and was named in the Top 100. The 385sqm mid-century-style home offers four-bedrooms and cuts no corners when it comes to impeccable craftsmanship with exposed bricks with bagged and plaster finishes bring an artisan touch to the exterior. Anthony says one of the most challenging aspects of the build was getting out of the ground – a 5 ½ month process. “It was due to sand but also two different water tables – salt water was within a metre of the surface and there was also water from the lake. We had to have very good systems in place when building the foundations to mitigate water as we drilled about 60 piles down to the sandstone. “There was also a lot of boxed formwork. A lot of steel in the project meant the foundations had to take quite a bit of weight,” explains Anthony. The project is very indicative of the challenging builds Kane Build Group loves to undertake. Established over a decade ago, Kane Building Group rapidly emerged as a frontrunner in the construction industry, owing to its dedication to pushing boundaries and exceeding client expectations. Anthony, with over 15 years of building experience and a background rooted in real estate, leads the charge with a vision for architectural distinction and finely-crafted construction is supported by his wife Anna, whose financial acumen and administrative prowess keep the company running seamlessly. Anthony says Kane Building Group is passionate about quality, which has led to the company building up considerable expertise in the innovative use of Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) and modular construction techniques. Anthony says that SIPs, a high-performance building system, have revolutionised the way homes are built, offering unparalleled thermal efficiency and structural integrity. “SIPs eight years ago was 15% of our work, now it’s 85%. It’s gaining momentum. “Our expertise in SIPs allows us to deliver homes that are not only environmentally sustainable but also cost-effective, saving clients up to 60-70% in heating and cooling costs when combined with the right joinery,” he says. Kane Building Group’s foray into modular construction has further cemented its position as an industry leader. With a range of predesigned, prefabricated home plans, the company offers fixed-price, energy-efficient homes that can be tailored to meet individual needs. From compact 18sqm units to expansive five-bedroom residences, Kane Building Group’s modular homes are a testament to their commitment to innovation and sustainability. As the construction industry evolves, Anthony says that Kane Building Group aims to remain at the forefront of innovation, reshaping the way homes are designed, built, and lived in. With a focus on high-performance homes, multi-unit developments, and sustainable construction practices, the company continues to push boundaries and challenge conventional construction practices. www.acespouting.co.nz Full service offer | Locally owned | Independent Family operated | Trusted for over 14 years Why Ace: Installation | Replacement | Maintenance | Conversions Work with NZ's premier insulation team!
