| 97 BUILDING Elegant Kiwi Homes T T Karen Phelps Meticulous planning part of success story Elegant Kiwi Homes has three house and land packages ready and available including 32 Larissa Road in Halswell. Elegant Kiwi Homes has established its success on innovation, quality and customer-centricity. Founded in 2015 by Ivan Presquito, the company embarked on a mission to address the housing supply shortage in Christchurch post-earthquakes. Today it stands not just as a builder of houses but also as a creator of elegant living spaces that embody a commitment to superior design, construction, and customer service, says Ivan. “Elegant Kiwi Homes are underscored by a desire to deliver something different and distinct to the market. Each home has its unique points of difference. For example we put additional details, like LED strip lighting on the ceiling or recess the television. This makes our houses stand out.” Ivan, the driving force behind Elegant Kiwi, holds an MBA degree and a diploma in Business from Waikato Institute of Technology. His extensive experience in the construction industry since 2012 has played a pivotal role in the company’s success. He says his company’s philosophy revolves around the belief that a home is more than a structure– it’s a reflection of dreams and aspirations. Elegant Kiwi Homes designs and builds homes from scratch, emphasising both functionality and aesthetics. Each project is meticulously planned to ensure it is completed on time and within budget, showcasing the company’s dedication to transparency and customer satisfaction. Ivan says that Elegant Kiwi Homes takes pride in its dedicated team, comprising builders and painters on staff, supplemented by contract builders. The total team includes over ten skilled professionals, ensuring that every project is handled with the expertise it deserves. The company’s service is comprehensive as can be seen through its client app. Ivan says that uniquely the company allows clients to access all aspects of the app, providing real-time updates on the progress of their builds. Clients can view photos, schedules, and communicate with the team, fostering a transparent build experience and keeping clients actively involved in the process, he says. Currently Elegant Kiwi Homes has three house and land packages ready and available. The properties include 6 Brusio Drive in Wigram, 32 Larissa Road in Halswell and 1 Lolite Lane in Rolleston.
