| 91 Accolades now coming for young firm Build Unlimited manages every aspect of the construction of their clients’ homes. Build Unlimited T T Hugh de Lacy Build Unlimited has come from humble beginnings to target the bespoke architectural and character home building and renovation market in Auckland. Founded by Pete Logan in 2017, Build Unlimited started out with small renovations but has since moved on to larger-scale projects such as a Parnell villa transformation on a tight timeframe of just seven weeks that earned the company its New Zealand Certified Builders Revere Accreditation, and a NZ Institute of Architects design award. Build Unlimited is currently delivering a 35m2 extension and full interior renovation to an old villa in Herne Bay that was built in the 1880s. “It’s a tricky assignment with high specifications, bringing the house’s aged services up to modern standards while still retaining its historic appearance and attractions,” Pete says. “I really love this sort of job – it’s like assembling a whole lot of moving parts, and there are so many things to consider, from straightening sagging floors to getting interior fittings just right.” Pete has extensive experience building high-end architectural homes, having completed his carpentry apprenticeship with one of Auckland’s leading architectural builders and, with such challenging projects behind him, he’s looking to expand his business into the up-market new builds that have always been his target. “We like to work in collaboration with architects and our clients to bring their vision to life,” he says. “I believe collaboration is essential to achieve the end result our clients are looking for. In my experience it’s best to engage us early in the concept stage: that way we can provide our clients with valuable information, and work with the architect to ensure our client’s vision is practical to build and within their budget.” Pete’s approach is aimed at ensuring that clients don’t get final drawings completed, and plans in for consent, only to find the project is out of budget or difficult to construct, which can cause significant cost increases. Build Unlimited manages every aspect of the construction of their clients’ homes by providing full project management and using its extensive quality control process to ensure the project runs smoothly, on time and within budget to the highest standards. His aim to expand his business further into up-market new builds is being helped by the increasing availability of skilled tradespeople after an extended period when they were in short supply. 09 262 0921 sales@premiersolutions.co.nz THERMAL & ACOUSTIC INSULATION SOLUTIONS PLUMBING, GAS AND DRAINAGE P: 0800 363 747 | E: admin@rosssplumbing.co.nz www.rosssplumbing.co.nz Covering East and South Auckland down to Pukekohe.
