| 103 T T Russell Fredric Offering skill and value on the Coast G. J. Gardner Homes West Coast currently has show homes in High Street and Paroa Estate on Coulson Road. BUILDING G.J. Gardner Homes West Coast Fair skies and a clear blue horizon is the economic outlook for G. J. Gardner Homes West Coast, with the business continuing to experience strong demand for its range of homes. The franchise spans the length of the West Coast from Haast in the south to Karamea in the north, and has offices in Greymouth and Westport, where it has recently moved to a new location. With a third show home currently being built in Greymouth, franchise owner Mat Colville and his team are justifiably upbeat. G. J. Gardner Homes West Coast provides a full design, project-management and build service, with the construction and trade services provided by trusted contractors, who have a long-term relationship with the business. “We’ve got an amazing team of employees and trades around us,” Mat says. “Everyone contributes and does a great job – that’s why we are able to do what we do.” The franchise opened 11 years ago and has experienced consistent growth and strong sales in what is a very competitive market. “It’s extremely rewarding to look back and see what we’ve achieved,” Mat says. He believes the franchise’s success is underpinned by the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of each build, which is contributed to by being part of the largest franchise home builder by volume in New Zealand. In addition, the West Coast has also experienced good growth in the new-homes market, with Mat noting the district has been less susceptible to the more extreme highs and lows of the property market in some other regions. G. J. Gardner Homes West Coast currently has show homes in High Street and Paroa Estate on Coulson Road. At 105sqm, and with three bedrooms, High Street is a good example of the design elements and quality that can be achieved in a smaller footprint, and has been extremely popular. Coulson Rd, with a footprint of 205sqm, has a spacious, open-plan lounge/dining/kitchen that features a 2.5-metre wall height and a cathedral ceiling, while windows in the gables and abundant glazing all round flood the space with natural light. The portico that extends off this area, and the extensive decking around it are immensely appealing features in a three-bedroom family home for all seasons that is the perfect mix of functionality and design, showcasing both the skill and value G. J. Gardner West Coast provides its clients. Feedback on this show home has been extremely positive, with several clients building homes based on its design. Not content to rest on their laurels, G. J. Gardner Homes West Coast is building another show home in Paroa Estate, in Ashley Drive. With a footprint of 180sqm, it has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, open-plan living and a covered portico, and provides the opportunity for the Coulson Road home to be put on the market for sale. “We’ve currently got six builds under construction in Paroa Estate, plus our show home,” says Mat. “We try and change our show homes every 12 to 18 months to keep on top of the latest trends and design ideas.” P: 03 768 6896 E: brendan.haybros@gmail.com M: 027 431 0464 QUALIFIED PAINTERS AND PAPERHANGERS HAY BROTHERS Proud to support GJ Gardner Homes Your Trusted Building Professionals Construction of new homes, pole sheds and all general building including commercial and renovations.
