| 105 T T Bernadette Cooney Exceeding clients’ expectations As the name suggests, Highend Building specialises in high-end, architecturally unique homes. Highend Building BUILDING Southland building company, Highend Building Ltd has quickly established itself as a go-to construction company for high-end residential projects, renovations, and light commercial work. Founded four years ago by licensed building practitioner Brad Brownlie, and based out of Invercargill, Highend Building is a talented team of five qualified builders and two apprentices, backed by Brad’s lifetime of building experience and dedication to completing stunning homes, that combine architectural elegance with robust construction practices. Specialising in high-end, architecturally unique homes, the Highend Building team, with an eye for detail and sophisticated finishes, is curating an impressive portfolio of new builds, renovations and light-commercial projects. From start to finish, Highend Building can manage every aspect of the build, applying their meticulous standards to every service delivery, including decking and fencing. “Our goal is to create spaces that not only meet our client’s expectations but exceed them in craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal. Every project we finish is built to stand the test of time,” says Brad. In addition, Highend Building is the preferred installer of the QuickSet foundation system for the Southland region, most recently incorporating the QuickSet system into an architecturally designed new home within Riverton, the Riveria of the South. Overlooking the township and estuary on an elevated site, this 220sqm, three-bedroom home features a timber weatherboard cladding with a feature block wall extending into an outdoor entertaining area. With polished concrete floors, double glazing, Kwila decking and five-rib roofing, this smart new home and separate garage incorporate QuickSet foundation systems. “QuickSet simplifies and improves on the traditional foundation process by using a pre-finished PVC foam board that serves as both formwork and insulation,” Brad explains. The system not only reduces material usage and environmental impact, but also aligns with the latest HS1 standards for durability and energy efficiency. Highend Building also incorporates recycled plastics, enhancing sustainability. “With QuickSet, there’s no need for boxing or stripping formwork after concrete is poured,” says Brad. “It’s an all-inclusive system that ties back on to itself, and is stronger and provides better insulation than traditional foundations.” Another recently completed project by Highend Building is a designer townhouse in collaboration with Stonewood Homes, combining timeless grey brick with edgy black Linea Oblique cladding. An example of the building company’s versatility is a colonial-style new home at Riverton Rocks, which was completed in 2021 – mirroring the architectural charm of its era with its all-timber cladding and wrap around veranda. And just completed this October is a stunning new home featuring Sto exterior cladding that provides weather-tightness and durability, complemented by dark Linea weatherboards. Brad’s leadership and hands-on approach as an owner-operator ensure that each project remains on track, with open communication throughout the process. With a reputation for delivering on its promises, Highend Building Ltd continues to attract more architectural and bespoke projects. As Brad and his team expand their portfolio, they remain committed to excellence, efficiency, and sustainability in every build.
