Gardner Homes Manukau-East Auckland BUILDING an enhanced specification set over 145sqm, with three bedrooms, an ensuite, and a single garage, while the premium 200sqm ‘Campbell Deluxe’ delivers luxury living with four bedrooms, three bathrooms and two living areas. Debbie says this innovative approach to show home presentation allows potential buyers to visualise different specifications and building options, from entry-level to upmarket finishes. The development demonstrates various product choices and building possibilities, helping buyers make informed decisions about their future homes. She says the development’s versatility is one of its key strengths. “The homes could serve multiple purposes, from housing extended family members to helping younger generations step on to the property ladder, or generating rental income. Each dwelling sits on its own freehold title, providing flexibility for various ownership structures.” Particularly noteworthy is the positive response from the area. Unlike traditional terraced homes that can sometimes face resistance from established neighbourhoods, this development has been welcomed by the local community. “The biggest challenge we face is that everyone wants to buy it. So we are saying you find the land and we’ll build it for you.” The success of this innovative project builds on G.J. Gardner Manukau-East Auckland’s extensive experience in the region. Operating since 1998, the franchise has constructed over 1200 homes in the local community, building a strong reputation for quality and innovation under the leadership of franchise owners Debbie, husband Graeme, and Vimal Pillay. Each one brings unique expertise to the table. Debbie’s business acumen from the FMCG industry complements Graeme’s background as a builder and Vimal’s experience as an estimator. Both Graeme and Vimal hold national diplomas in architecture and worked within the franchise before becoming owners alongside Debbie. Their local knowledge is equally impressive, with Graeme having lived in the Manukau and East Auckland district his entire life, while Vimal has called the Pakuranga and Manukau area home for over two decades. This deep connection to the community helps inform their approach to development and design. Debbie says G.J. Gardner Manukau-East Auckland also specialises in remove and rebuild and subdivision projects throughout the area. “People often come to us because they love where they live but not the home they live in,” she says. “They might have a “With a high need for housing stock, we were looking at ways to achieve medium- density housing that is in keeping with the neighbourhood and could simply appear as one large home from the outside and which complements smaller sites.” large site and have considered renovating but discovered the best option is often to remove the existing home and build a new home with no compromises.” For potential buyers inspired by the show home development, G.J.
