| 113 T T Sue Russell Impressive home scoops gold award The stunning 413sqm, four-bedroom house, built on a prime Whitianga canal-front section, sits grandly on its site. PJ Builders - Whitianga BUILDING Whitianga-based building company, PJ Builders, has continued to enjoy considerable industry recognition, receiving regional winner, gold award and a place in the Top 100 in last year’s $2million-$4million category at the Registered Master Builders House of the Year Award Auckland/Northland/Coromandel. The stunning 413sqm, four-bedroom house, built on a prime Whitianga canal-front section, sits grandly on its site, exemplifying the highest-possible quality and attention to detail that PJ Builders’ owner/operator Phillip Holland has built his reputation on. Judges noted the combination of twin gables and horizontal link in the home’s design created the framework from which a real ‘showstopper’ of a home, complete with wine cellar, has been carefully crafted. Clad in black vertical timber, brick and timber screening, inside, the home is all warmth, light, natural materials and high-end details, including chandeliers and dark kitchen cabinetry. A special feature, somewhat unusually, of having two main-bedroom suites, one upstairs, the other down, along with a third lounge that can double as a fifth bedroom, and a lift, ensures this home will be fit for purpose and enjoyed by its owner for years to come. And while many builders in the region have struggled in these past few years, Phillip says he and the team have been kept comfortably busy. The company, originally based in Hamilton, has enjoyed a long and productive relationship with clients, including Hopper Developments. Phillip says working for Hopper has been a very positive experience, describing the business as being right behind supporting real growth in the district with project such as The Moorings Retirement Village on the waters-edge. With such an established business and a fine reputation, these days Phil concentrates the bulk of his time on nurturing client relationships and securing future work, while overseeing the day-to-day operation. He is fortunate to have many very experienced builders engaged in the business, each one with the capabilities to produce exceptional building outcomes. He says a core strength of the business is the team, which brings years of experience across a wide array of construction types. It’s this background that has built the excellent reputation PJ Builders enjoys today. Describing Whitianga as a positive, goahead region, Phil is encouraged by the significant interest from people living in other parts of the country, to move into the district. PJ Builders was established 11 years ago, and these days Phil says he concentrates on Whitianga and surrounding areas for the building projects he takes on. Success, he says, comes down to doing the basics well, including an open-book building policy, meaning clients can see exactly what the costs of their build are. He says he has always placed a priority on maintaining ongoing communication through a build. Questions are answered immediately, and should there be any issues, these are resolved quickly. It’s the hallmark of the company’s building integrity. PJ Builders’ services across Coromandel and the Waikato include architectural new builds, extensive house renovations and executive homes, along with alterations and additions. “We’ve had the privilege of building in some beautiful locations and on sites that really showcase the exceptional design and craftsmanship of our builds.” Paul Willis Registered Electrician Mobile: 027 404 8941 E: paul@williselectrical.co.nz W: www.williselectrical.co.nz Willis Electrical Ltd Electrical installations and maintenance DOMESTIC | COMMERCIAL | INDUSTRIAL 027 500 1210 phill@pjbuilders.nz PJBuildersLimited www.pjbuilders.nz MAKING YOUR HOUSE, YOUR HOME coattocoatpainters@gmail.com 0210 225 1012
