Precise Builders specialises in high-end pro- jects – new builds and renovations. Their com- pany show home demonstrates the couple’s focus on a high quality building experience from start to finish. The 360sqm rustic country home was designed by Creative Space Architecture, the company Precise Builders usually uses for bespoke projects. The home comprises four bedrooms, three lounges, a large bathroom and an ensuite. Special features include exposed reclaimed hardwood beams made from timber used in old bridges, exposed copper pipework and recycled brick cladding. A more recent new build was an architectur- ally designed home in The Lakes. The 250sqm home included four bedrooms, two lounges and three bathrooms. Clad in La Paloma Madrid brick the single storey home was built on a sloping site over several levels and included a pool. Renovation projects make up the majority of the company’s work at present, as this is where demand exists. A recent project was a $1.2m project in Te Puke, which involved reconfiguring, modern- ising and adding an extension to the existing large country home complete with full land- scaping and updating the existing pool and surrounding area.

This allows the company to undertake multiple projects simultaneously. Rachael says when selecting a builder peo- ple need to take into account several factors: “Are they part of a builders’ association? We are part of New Zealand Certified Builders and this means we can offer a comprehensive guarantee on our projects. “How many projects does the company have under construction? Too many indicates possible quality issues. “That’s why we only take on a small, man- ageable number to keep quality levels high.” Next year is looking busy with a number of renovation and new build projects due to start. But Rachael says that Precise Builders al- ways has time to look at new projects and she welcomes any new enquiries.
