118 | BUILDING David Reid Homes Auckland Central T T Lindy Andrews Building homes for generations to come Constructed in three distinct tiers, the two- and three-storey homes command views spanning from Rangitoto Island to across the city. Quality is an investment in the future. For David Reid Homes, it’s the assurance of quality design, construction – and most importantly, investing time and energy in building strong client relationships – that has seen the iconic New Zealand brand go from strength to strength since its inception in 1993. Brett Christie, managing director of David Reid Homes Auckland Central, admits the market has been tough, but with interest rates falling, he also sees plenty of cause for optimism. “We’re not in it for a quick buck, we’re in it for the long haul,” he says, “and I know we’ll come out stronger on the other side. It’s all about quality.” Occupying a site in Auckland’s dress circle Mission Bay, the company’s 246 Kepa Road design-and-build development illustrates unwavering commitment to its core business and values. “Our primary focus has been multi-use developments, which makes us a little different from other David Reid franchises elsewhere in the country that do more standalone houses,” Brett explains. The thoughtful design - a collaboration between MCooper Architects and David Reid Homes - makes the most of a comparatively compact site. While the specifications for all 10 homes are similar, each has a unique personality. Constructed in three distinct tiers, the two- and three-storey homes command views spanning from Rangitoto Island to across the city. “The developers came to us with a piece of land, and we responded to their brief by delivering the different typologies they wanted, not 10 of the same,” Brett explains. With their individuality, sleek, modern interiors, high-end finishes and appliances, the houses also evidence David Reid Homes’ core business of delivering mid- to high-specification places to call home. A passion for innovation is at the heart of the business, and its contemporary home designs continually evolve to meet New Zealand’s changing lifestyle demands. Its success lies in staying abreast of trends, inspired design and delivering sustainable living options. “Our team is always looking to achieve more in terms of bespoke design and improve on standard building practices,” says Brett, whose years as a structural and civil engineer make for a safe and confident pair of hands. “We build homes which minimise running costs, whilst ensuring that it’s truly sustainable over time. In short, we build not just for this generation, but homes that will endure for generations to come.” A future-proof home will withstand the tests of time and climate change structurally, while meeting new technology requirements and changing lifestyles with ease. For this generation of eco- and energy-conscious homebuyers, efficient, well-crafted homes are very much on the radar, along with incorporating smart-home options, EV-charging and the use of sustainable and recycled products where practical. A proven and trusted ally for developers and homeowners alike, David Reid Homes Auckland Central offers a 10-year Master Builder guarantee, working with buyers well after the keys change hands. “When people move in, we want to make sure that they are happy – that everything works as it should,” Brett says. structural masonry and decorative bricklaying 021 199 2521 ben@bensbricklaying.co.nz PROUDLY SUPPORTING DAVID REID HOMES Modern spray plastering & traditional hand applications Cement & acrylic base plaster systems Weathertight exterior paint systems 0211919810 www.straightlineplastering.co.nz
