DEVELOPMENT www.createconstruction.nz Proud to work alongside Calibre Cost Management Proud to support Waikawa Developments Intelligent by Design walkerarchitecture.co.nz Imagine starting every day with glorious views of Waikawa Bay and having all the space you need for boat storage, and with Picton and the nearest boat ramp just minutes away. An exciting new development underway on Waikawa Road will deliver on that dream lifestyle, combining unbeatable sea views, easy water access and luxury living. Waikawa Developments is offering three high spec homes on the hill at Waikawa. Leading the project is Calibre Cost Management (CCM), a market specialist in project management, and contracts and cost control. “We’re doing the QS for the project and everything from design management to end of project management, including tendering out the trades and being in charge of the build,” says CCM Managing Director Toby Schuyl. “Earthworks have been completed on site by Marlborough-based Findlater Construction, with work due to start on the foundations in the new year. The first home will be completed by September 2023.” This outstanding property, designed by Walker Architecture, is on the market with Bayleys Picton, with an asking price of $1.95 million. The agents say those who love the water will prize the great drive-on access with boat storage and garaging for the car, as well as the home’s elegant design and superb location. “Spread over three levels and with an internal lift, the 231sqm home has been meticulously planned. “The open-plan living area, bathed in light, is perfect for entertaining in style and effortless living. With a well-appointed modern kitchen, everything is in place for dinner parties inside or alfresco dining on the elevated balcony with beautiful views overlooking Waikawa Bay. “The main bedroom has a large walk-in robe and tiled ensuite and there are a further two bedrooms and a bathroom. The home will be fitted out with every modern convenience and finished to a high standard.” CCM has completed a number of large scale industrial projects as well as single architectural homes, with this being their first multi-house development. Toby’s prime focus is on development management. Working with him at CCM is his wife Ashleigh, who takes care of administration as office manager. They are both excited about the fantastic lifestyle choice these homes will bring to the local area. “We’ve got a holiday home in Lochmara Bay that looks directly at Waikawa so we know the area well and have always been passionate about it. In the last few years, we have seen Waikawa/Picton becoming a top holiday destination for New Zealanders. We think it’s on track to be the next Queenstown. “We’re really excited to be doing this development. It is a great asset for Waikawa. “The feedback we’re getting from the agents has been incredibly positive. “There is so much interest in it – this is the first time anything like this, of such high spec, has been developed at Waikawa. There’s nothing else quite like it in the area.” There has been strong demand for 251 new berths at the new Waikawa marina, which Toby sees as another positive. A growth in berths is likely to drive growth in residential demand at Waikawa as well. Cost control and contract control are key services offered by CCM, managing all aspects of cost associated with construction including checks to ensure builders honour all contract conditions. In today’s inflationary market, working with a qualified, skilled QS team is more vital than ever. Currently, CCM is providing cost and contract certainty on a large commercial retail precinct project on Marshlands Rd, Christchurch, with construction due to get underway in the new year, and is also delivering professional QS services to a number of other construction projects.
