Jordan Li has had 8 Great Homes since 2014, having worked on a labour only basis since completing his apprenticeship and seeing what was being produced in Hamilton. “I thought some of the builders out there weren’t building the type of homes I would have built, with more care, more detail, and more features,” he says. “For me, I saw a great opportunity to go into business and build really nice homes that will be a benefit to the people buying them.” These standards saw 8 Great Homes take out four awards at the Registered Master Builders House of the Year competition in 2019, the regional category win, the regional bathroom excellence lifestyle award, and regional gold, and a gold reserve finalist, for a luxurious, entertainer’s dream home where style meets functionality. This project has now inspired elements of 8 Great Homes’ current show home build and Jordan’s own home on a lifestyle block at Tamahere on the outskirts of Hamilton. “My vision from the start was for how this home could work in different spaces,” Jordan says. “We have designed the whole area around the central swimming pool, with the main house, then a 40sqm pool house on the edge of the pool, and another separate shed, kind of like a man cave, so we’ve got three separate dwellings all wrapped around the pool.” Jordan has incorporated a high level of detail into the cladding, which has elements of cedar and plaster alongside the main Eurotray cladding which starts on the roof, then follows the roof line down the exterior walls. Inside the home, a high level of detail is again key to this showcase home. With a 480sqm footprint, Jordan was looking for space and indoor outdoor flow to complement the standout design features that make this home one of a kind. The whole house has really high raked ceilings with skylights and battens which were painstakingly installed one by one. Jordan wanted everything in the home to have clean lines or be hidden where possible. In the hallway, he has used LED strip lighting recessed and flush with the walls at a 30 degree angle, up over the ceiling, then down the wall on the opposite side of the hallway at a 90 degree angle. To achieve the hidden look in the interior doorways, Jordan didn’t want any architraves or door frames, so he had to do some research. He found a system that was deemed too expensive, so he created his own frameless timber door jamb system whereby the jamb is plastered in during framing, eliminating the need for architraves and blending seamlessly, providing a flush finish around the door. Jordan says as a Registered Master Builder, 8 Great Homes brings quality assurance to every project with the 10-year Master Builder Guarantee. Materials are sourced from reputable suppliers, and qualified subcontractors deliver high quality results. Licensed builders are on site at all times to guide and monitor the building process, while the project manager regularly completes quality checks and inspections.
