84 | Top-notch service, no matter the budget Tomlins handles a diverse range of projects from residential homes including new builds, renovations, alterations, additions and maintenance to farm buildings and light commercial ventures. T T from page 82 Tomlins Building BUILDING “We aim to produce the best on every project. All of our team shares this focus and our apprentices are trained to be the best. We have three apprentices at present because it’s important to bring fresh blood into the industry.” Paul can provide a vast portfolio of plans the company has previously built for inspiration and connections with some of the best architects. Wife Dana, who undertakes the administration side of the business, ensures things keep flowing smoothly. While no longer on the tools Trevor also works part time in the business keeping his finger on the pulse. Paul also highlights that he has a great team of subcontractors that also work well with clients and have very high standards of workmanship Recent projects showcase the breadth of Tomlins Building’s capabilities. From an eight-bedroom, five-bathroom home in Queenstown to architectural builds in Invercargill and Arrowtown. Paul says that each project presents its own set of challenges, from site constraints to complex architectural designs, yet Tomlins Building consistently delivers on budget and on time. For example the large Queenstown home was around 600sqm built over three levels on a sloping site. Access was an issue and the first floor was chiselled into the slope including drilling down into rock and building retaining walls. Clad in stone, iron and Abodo the home was steel and concrete construction on the ground floor and concrete with some steel and timber framing above. Other challenges included suspended concrete balconies. “With no room for a crane on site it was a labour intensive build,” says Paul. “ We organised landscaping delivering a turnkey project. It reflects we can deliver a high end home on budget and to the time frame.” At the other end of the scale at present Tomlins Building is working on constructing some smaller farm workers houses, each one 150sqm with three bedroom and garage. While the main focus is on projects in Southland, Tomlins Building works up to Central Otago depending on the project. Extremely positive long term relationships with clients mean Tomlins Building can often show prospective clients work they have done before in more detail. Looking ahead, Paul remains committed to the principles of quality, integrity, and innovation that have defined Tomlins Building’s success. “It’s an approach that works and we will continue to provide all our clients new, existing and returning with the best building process around.” Jeremy M E N Z I E S P A I N T I N G ltd.
