76 | Barrett Homes Bay of Plenty Taking the stress out of building Homes in the omain Road subdivision are realistically priced from $849,000, putting them very much within reach of first-home owners. from page 74 BUILDING “The fact that we have a fixed price contract gives clients the certainty that there will be no surprises, particularly in this day and age of increasing materials costs.” “Everything is included within the build process. I think the fact that we have a fixed price contract gives clients the certainty that there will be no surprises, particularly in this day and age of increasing materials costs. That’s something we are especially proud of.” With nine professional designers engaged in the business Lianne says clients are spoilt for choice and ideas, especially when design conversations are still forming. “We know this is such a significant investment for our clients. It’s probably one of the biggest decisions they will make, so we take the time to ensure every question is answered, giving plenty of time for clients to consider various ideas.” Another point of difference is in the pricing structure, with no franchise fees, allowing builds of higher specification to be built. An interior design specialist is there to guide the client throughout the build process, helping make the hard decisions an easy and stress-free process. And with a brother land development business EB Developments, Barrett Homes Bay of Plenty is in a strong position to maintain a prominent position in the region’s residential market. Currently on offer in the district at ‘The Helm’ subdivision, located at Papamoa Junctions is a precinct of premium architecturally designed townhouses. “It’s a new way of living at the beach. The Helm is a very attractive subdivision with commercial building, numerous medical and hospitality services, and facilities at arm’s reach.” And at two and three levels, the townhouses come with a Residents Society structure enabling owners to receive ongoing regular maintenance. Outside, ‘elegant planting’ has been thoughtfully planned to ensure the homes retain a quality look long-term. “It’s about having everything tailored for residents to just sit back and relax and enjoy this wonderful environment and at a great starting price-point of $820,000 we know these homes will be very popular.” In total 41 townhouses will be built and released in the subdivision. In another subdivision on Domain Roadhouses are realistically priced from $849,000, putting them very much within reach of firsthome owners. The subdivision is within walking distance to the beach, shopping centres, medical services, supermarkets, restaurants and cafes. While up in Omokoroa, north of Tauranga on the road to Katikati on Western Avenue, another subdivision offers 12 smaller homes, suitable for retirees and small families “They are opposite an extensive park, so there’s a feeling of openness and room for walking and enjoying the environment.” Currently, Lianne explains, the focus is on Papamoa, but with the land development company there’s plenty of land options opening for future builds. “We are looking at where future opportunities are presenting in Tauranga itself. With the new legislation around brown fields, building on sites where an existing home is situated, we see plenty of opportunities to build in the city.” There’s a sense very much of being on a growth trajectory and Lianne says, with a great team of passionate professionals in the team, a positive future looks assured.
