| 47 Mike Greer Commercial: Armagh Street Development The Madras Square urban village, located northeast of Latimer Square, comprises 111 townhouses and additional residential dwellings. DEVELOPMENT Knuddy Homes is a tongue in cheek name that company owner Ben Knudsen hopes will put a smile on people’s faces “We work hard and want to have fun on a build and for our clients to enjoy the process as well. It’s about breaking the process down to the ‘bare’ essentials – good building, great clients, great results,” he says. Ben, a Licensed Building Practitioner with over a decade of experience, started Knuddy Homes in 2019 out of a passion for building and delivering exceptional quality homes for his clients. Ever since he was a teenager Ben had a dream to run his own building company, having a team that only delivers the best. Since then Knuddy Homes has partnered with leading property developers such as Wol brook Property Group, Williams Corporation and Mike Greer Homes Commercial demonstrating the high regard in which the company is held. “We focus on working with great clients who share our values. For example Mike Greer Commercial are very particular and aim for very high quality and it’s been a great working relationship. They work with us every step of the way so together we can achieve a great end result.” Knuddy Homes also works on private residential builds, typically in the mid to higher end of the market. Ben says his company’s experience building commercial projects has given the team outstanding skills that translate to client’s residential home builds. “The Knuddy Homes team probably builds around 150 homes each year for commercial clients so the sheer volume of work means our team has developed great experience and the ability to collaborate with architects to deliver a great end product. It’s also meant we have been able to invest in plant to make the job e icient and result in an exceptionally high quality product,” says Ben. It is the work ethic of the Knuddy Homes team that sets it apart for clients: “All deadlines have always been hit and we are usually irst on site and last to leave. We have a highly skilled team and the company has a family vibe. Attitude is everything. When we hire people they need to it in with our team so we can train them well and they love what they do and that results in the best outcome for our clients.” Knuddy Homes builds predominantly in Canterbury but further a ield depending on the project. Ben says Knuddy Homes works collaboratively with clients to deliver the right end result. “It’s not just about getting a set of plans. We want to go on the whole journey with a client and see their vision of how they want their house built so the end result is more than a house but a home where they can create great memories.” Great clients, great results
