76 | Southland - Richard Affleck Building BUILDING ‘Everything has to be perfect’ from page 74 The generously proportioned Invercargill house is due for completion this spring. The client’s love of trees and timber and the high level of finish is reflected in the choice of skillion ceilings with exposed trusses, along with American white ash doors and door frames which are among the numerous highend features specified throughout the house. Achieving the client’s vision of a bespoke, high quality home that requires considerable attention to detail is extremely satisfying, Richard says. It’s great to work with clients who have a passion and vision for their dream home in the same way that Richard and his team look forward to working on houses of this quality, he says. “That’s what we are driven by, clients that really care about what they want built. They want something different and personalised to suit their taste and lifestyle. “We get a lot of satisfaction out of making that all happen, being part of the team that puts it all together and dealing with quality tradesmen and products.” “Everything has to be perfect when you hand a house over to the clients” This satisfaction and commitment is apparent in testimonials provided by clients who have commented on the ease of the process, the quality of the project management, the finished result and Richard’s “tireless” work ethic. One client went to the trouble of writing a 400-plus word testimonial. “Richard put in a lot of time and effort listening to what we wanted,” the client says. “Our aim was to build an efficient house that would serve not only us but the generations to come. We had a comprehensive direction and design when we approached Richard to build our house and wanted a building team that would go beyond a standard building approach. “We chose [Richard Affleck Building] because when we sat down to discuss this project with him in detail, he was very receptive, and had a considered response to the unique design challenges we had.” “We were particularly impressed with the attention to details... event the smallest things.” With these and many other exceptional endorsements to the team’s credit, it is not surprising the business has four or five houses forward-booked. Richard says choosing a reputable builder is one of the most important decisions of the building process. The current economic climate is a dynamic and challenging market to be working in, especially with material shortages, steadily increasing costs and building companies potentially facing increased risk. Consequently Richard advises those looking to build to ensure they choose a builder who is a member of an industry organisation such as Master Builders which provides the peace of mind of a 10 year guarantee for the completion of new builds and renovations. ∙ Earthmoving ∙ Driveways ∙ Site works ∙ Gravel supplies & cartage ∙ Farmmaintenance & drainage ∙ Subdivisions 027 660 7707 matt@mattjohnstoncontracting.com • Driveways • House Floors • Sheds and Garages • Outdoor Areas • All Dairy Work • Coloured and Exposed Finished QUALITY AND EFFICIENCY GUARANTEED 021 770 952 - sheenercrete@xtra.co.nz SOUTHLAND OWNED | FREE MEASURES AND QUOTES 24 ETTRICK STREET INVERCARGILL Ph: 03 218 4394 MEMBER OF ROOFING ASSOCIATION N.Z.
