| 75 T T Karen Phelps Breaking new ground at Kotare Park Due for completion in April, the duplexes are being marketed as ideal for families, busy professionals, or those looking to downsize. Signature Homes Waikato - Kotare Park DEVELOPMENT Signature Homes Waikato has projects underway in both Kotare Park, Cambridge, and Kotare Heights, Te Awamutu, for developer Kotare Properties. “They are a great developer to work with. It’s been a very collaborative relationship,” says Andrew Buttimore, co-owner of Signature Homes Waikato. Signature Homes Waikato was specifically approached by the developer to tender for the duplex project in Kotare Park – the first of its kind in the development. Located on the corner of Cambridge Road and Silverwood Lane, each home offers 130sqm on a 228sqm section and includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate toilet and a single garage. Its modern design incorporates spacious open-plan living on the ground floor that flows to a low-maintenance private section. The first floor boasts an impressive master bedroom with a west-facing balcony to maximise evening sunlight. Due for completion in April, the duplexes are being marketed as ideal for families, busy professionals, or those looking to downsize. In Kotare Heights, located on Frontier Rd in Te Awamutu, Signature Homes Waikato is working on multiple spec homes, including a three-bedroom plan on lot 61 featuring a 167sqm home on a 515sqm section. Andrew says it is a compact home with modern features, and offers large bedrooms and living spaces. The project includes open-plan kitchen, living and dining areas, along with landscaping. Lot 37 is a larger property and offers a 200sqm, four-bedroom home on a 540sqm section. It includes two bathrooms, two living areas and a double garage. Signature Homes Waikato is co-owned and operated by Waikato-born brothers Andrew and Jamie Buttimore, along with Keir Bettley. The Buttimore brothers have over 30 years of combined industry experience as project managers and builders, while Keir brings financial expertise to the operation. The business has recently completed its 557th build during their 12-year tenure as owners of the business. The company is part of Signature Homes, a nationwide franchise network that has been operating since 1983 and is proudly 100% Kiwi-owned. “Signature Homes is dedicated to ensuring people can achieve their new-home dreams, and have strong relationships with leading suppliers, providing a one-stop solution for all design and construction needs,” says Andrew. Signature Homes offers both a range of proven plans created specifically for New Zealand conditions, and a full design-andbuild option. Andrew emphasises that the company’s longevity in the industry provides reassurance to customers and enables it to offer market-leading guarantees as well as fixed-price contracts and time frames. He adds that customer confidence is paramount to the Signature Homes business model: “People are investing a lot of money in a new home, and we want to make sure they feel comfortable with the process and have peace of mind so they can enjoy their building experience.” With its expanding portfolio in the Kotare Properties’ developments, Andrew says Signature Homes Waikato continues to work towards the owners’ goal of becoming not necessarily the biggest, but certainly the best home builders Waikato has to offer.
