110 | Davies Homes T T Karen Phelps Distinctive features set homes apart Davies Homes has developed more than 40 concept plans that serve as starting points for customisation. BUILDING Davies Homes is expanding its presence across the Waikato region with an array of house-and-land packages, offering opportunities from Cambridge to Whatawhata. The Te Awamutu-based builder, known for its premium residential construction, has secured prime locations in several sought-after developments. “Because we act as the designer as well as the project manager on builds, we see a project through from beginning to end in-house. This saves clients time and money, and results in buildable homes with a design edge,” explains Daniel Davies, director of Davies Homes. For example, as one of only four select build partners in Cambridge’s Bridleways Estate, where it has a show home, the company has developed a range of concept plans specifically suited to the subdivision. These packages form part of its wider portfolio, which includes opportunities in Pukekura Estate in Cambridge, Maungakawa Road near Te Miro, Chamberlain Road near Te Awamutu and Lockerbie Lane in Whatawhata. Established in 1999, Davies Homes has developed more than 40 concept plans that serve as starting points for customisation. Each design is carefully adapted to maximise the specific site, considering factors such as sun position, wind direction, views, privacy and noise. Energy efficiency features prominently in the company’s designs, with considerations including north-facing orientation, solar panels, thermally broken joinery, and enhanced insulation. Daniel says these elements are particularly emphasised in developments like Bridleways Estate, where design guidelines specifically focus on environmental sustainability. “It’s easy to spot a Davies Homes build due to our focus on exceptional design and expert craftsmanship. “Our homes have distinct features that stand out amongst the other homes, such as unique architectural elements, high-quality materials, and attention to detail,” says Daniel. “Every design journey begins with a site visit so we can properly assess any aspects that need to be considered in the design. As a result, our homes look great, but are also functional and easy to live in, designed with precision and care.” Daniel personally oversees each project, supported by an in-house architectural design team. He says this direct involvement ensures that each home optimises its site’s potential, while meeting the client’s unique needs. To streamline the construction process, Davies Homes utilises online scheduling software that allows clients to track their project’s progress throughout the build. This system provides transparency and helps manage the entire process effectively. To make the building process more accessible, the company offers turnkey finance options, allowing construction to commence with just a 10% deposit. “Building a home is a significant investment, both financially and emotionally. In these uncertain economic times, the risks associated with building have increased, making it more critical than ever to choose a reputable builder, and turnkey options also make it easier for people to start their build,” says Daniel. All builds come with fixed-price contracts and no hidden costs, providing certainty for clients’ budgets. As Registered Master Builders, it provides the association’s range of guarantees, including a Master Build 10year Guarantee on all homes, along with an extended maintenance guarantee beyond the mandatory 12-month period. Daniel is proud that 70% of business is repeat or referral from satisfied clients. He says the available house-and-land packages on offer span various price points and styles, from more affordable options to luxury dwellings. Each development offers its own unique advantages, from the premium positioning of Bridleways Estate to the rural charm of Maungakawa Road, located just 15 minutes from Cambridge and five minutes from Te Miro. With multiple packages available across the region and a proven track record spanning more than two decades, Davies Homes continues to strengthen its position as one of the Waikato’s premier residential builders, offering opportunities for those seeking quality homes in desirable locations.
