| 81 T T Karen Phelps Homes made to perform Simpson Residential undertakes new home builds, renovations, maintenance projects, and smaller projects such as decks, fences and sheds. Simpson Residential BUILDING Building in the West Coast’s extreme climate with often vast distances to traverse to get to jobs Simpson Residential has come up with ingenious solutions to do the job better, quicker and more cost effectively for its clients. A standout solution in the introduction of modular transportable buildings, adaptable to create either compact of spacious homes by expanding them as needed. Company owner Hayden Simpson came up with the idea while living with his family in three 40-foot containers. “From living in the containers we found they were a little narrow so we made our own transportable range wider and from Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) so they perform better,” he says. With one home already under construction at the company headquarters Hayden says the plan is to build the home then offer them for sale and transportation to site meaning a quick solution for clients. Because they can be constructed indoors the team can continue work in all climates and also eliminate the need to travel to distant sites bringing build costs down. Based in Hokitika, Simpson Residential offers over 30 years experience and has a range of services to cater to the smaller market on the West Coast where a builder has to be a jack-of-all-trades, says Hayden. The company undertakes new home builds, renovations, maintenance projects, and smaller projects such as decks, fences and sheds. As accredited members of New Zealand Certified Builders, Simpson Residential has access to an extensive range of architecturally designed plans that cater for all different kinds of housing needs. Hayden says that each plan can be easily changed to fit customers’ requirements and because they are already architecturally designed, the time frame from picking a plan to getting the keys to a new home is dramatically faster than designing from scratch. All houses built by Simpson Residential come with a 10-year guarantee. Simpson Residential completes most work in-house including it’s own roofing and concrete work. Durable materials are the focus to cope with the West Coast environment with Formance SIP panels and Palliside as key suppliers. Hayden says SIP is becoming increasingly popular and Simpson Residential has completed four Formance SIP homes and is currently working on three more positioning it at the forefront of introducing the product to the West Coast. “It is a high performance building system that consists of an insulated foam core sandwiched between two structural facings. They provide high insulation, high strength and a low eco footprint for the building envelope. The benefits are reduced energy consumption, lower energy bills, up to 90 per cent less air leakage than stick-framed structures and no thermal bridging or convection looping.” Hayden says Palliside weatherboards are a firm favourite with customers, as they never need painting. “Made in New Zealand they have been specifically for New Zealand conditions and are ideal for demanding environments. They are manufactured from 100% recyclable material.” Customers are kept fully informed every step of the way during their build via project management software, which allows clients to log in and see what stage their build is at. “This system operates in real time and enables clients to receive updates and to be involved in conversations with the builders, sub-contractors and site foreman at any time of the day. “Everyone involved in the project can communicate from one platform, which eliminates confusion and time wasting and ultimately saves the client money. By keeping our clients in loop and giving them this hands on experience, nothing is over looked or forgotten and work continues to flow on time and without stress. It’s all part of delivering a great home build experience to our customers.” FOR ANYTHING GLASS, THINK TOTAL GLASS. 03 768 5792 2 Charles O’Connor St, Greymouth office.totalglass@gmail.com Specializing in structural steel fabrication, general, alloy and stainless steel engineering and cnc plasma cutting Proudly Supporting Simpson Residential Ltd Dave Cartwright 03 755 5054 Dave@coastaleng.co.nz PROUD TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH SIMPSON RESIDENTIAL LTD 027 4310 461 OR 03 755 8448 admin@henryadams.co.nz
