96 | T T Karen Phelps Modular homes a fast, affordable option Homes by Nest Barn style design popular Barn style homes are another initiative from Homes by Nest. T T Sue Russell Warkworth Construction “Modular homes form an important part of our offering, providing a fast and affordable option perfectly suited to small house design or as an alternative to tiny homes.” Set up in 2020 by Bru and Linda Goldfinch Homes by Nest, based in Papakura and Franklin, presents a nimble and very tuned approach to residential building to its clients, harnessing the skills and experience of a select group of sub-contractors, each experts in their own field, to provide a strong and comprehensive building experience. It’s a structure that has proved its worth, as Bru explains. “Linda and I wanted to put our skills and experience into the most productive element of a residential building company, leaving our close team of expert builders and sub-trades to do what they do best; create beautiful bespoke homes which are a pleasure to live in.” Neither Bru or Linda have a yearning to become a large production residential building company, preferring to keep things to a size and scale they can successfully manage. “We want to deliver the best building experience possible to our clients and we’ve settled on a business model and systems that provide this,” says Bru. He calls his team of sub-contractors, his ‘family of builders’. It sits comfortably with the values that underpin traditional family businesses. Bru says the company covers a wide region from Papakura south to Te Kauwhata, the west side of the Firth of Thames and across to Waiuku. He recalls when they first established, the residential build scene was going crazy, as it did through the lockdown period and just after. “Sections were being gobbled up everywhere. It was a situation that wasn’t really sustainable. Now things are much quieter. We have one project on the go at the moment with another about to get underway in Tuakau.” The company’s show-home in Pokeno, offers visitors a glimpse at the standard and detailing Homes by Nest builds to. With raked ceilings, sky-lights, barn-style doors leading into the lounge and a dedicated entrance/ reception space on entry to the house, the 188m2, 3 bedroom home has attracted considerable interest. Opening in May 2021, the show-home can be viewed Saturday and Sunday from 11am – 3pm. Another initiative Homes by Nest is offering the market are its Barn style homes collection; a group of stunning, barn style homes using heritage timber. These fabulous homes represent a nod to the American settler era, delivered in a modern, high-end context.
