| 107 Bagley Construction Hugh’s own home is a showcase of clever design and painstaking craftmanship. BUILDING “A big attribute that we ensure goes throughout the whole job is the client – builder relationship. I’ve built a few houses for myself and I know the stress and financial strain that goes with it. It’s daunting for a lot of people, especially with the price of building at the moment. “Most people are on the brink of what they can afford to build here. A few hiccups here and there and an upgrade to the benchtop could throw the whole budget out. So, making sure the process and relationship is smooth running the whole way through has resulted in quite a bit of referral work. If you can make the build affordable, give the client a great experience, and they’re wrapped in the final result then you can’t really go wrong, can you? Hugh’s question is of course rhetorical, because those are the real keys to a successful customer experience. Hugh’s own 300sqm family home, designed by Threefold Architecture, and completed three months ago is a showcase of clever design, and painstaking craftsmanship where millimetre perfection was demanded. “The house sits on a very odd-shaped 650sqm section. I asked Threefold Architecture to push the boundaries with this home and they have designed an absolute masterpiece that only has about six right-angle corners in the entire house. There’s a 15° roof, 135° corners, 6° soffit. It’s a crazy design, but the reason for that is the crazy shaped section. Threefold have maximised what we can get out of a house on that section. It’s an out of the box design that’s quite eye catching.” Hugh acknowledges that it was a little bit of a challenge to build, and suspects many builders may have thrown in the towel half way through in sheer frustration. “No that it’s finished and we’re in, the rewards are definitely there. As soon as we had built this house I knew we could build anything, so it really is a show case of what can be achieved.” WANAKA S I T EWORKS 021 436 020 itilewanaka@gmail.com We are a Wanaka-based tiler providing quality and experience in the Central Otago region.
