76 | Prefab homes & light commercial buildings The company has developed into a comprehensive business offering residential and light commercial solutions. T T from page 74 Laing Properties BUILDING The company’s evolution from its origins in building relocation to prefabricated construction was initially sparked by demand from the dairy industry boom for worker accommodation. Since then, it has developed into a comprehensive business, offering residential and light commercial solutions – both new prefabricated and second-hand homes and buildings. The business remains firmly in family hands, owned by founding members Grant and Polly Laing, alongside their son Myles and his wife Lucinda. It employs a team of 32 staff, including its own house-shifting specialists. To showcase its expanded range and design and building experience, Laing Propertieshas installed its first show home at 12 Henare Drive, Rolleston, with plans for a second later this year. The current show home is 111sqm Escape design, which Myles describes as the perfect blend of modern design and warm tones. “The exterior showcases a sophisticated contrast of Flaxpod and Resene Half Black White, emphasising the building’s distinctive architecture. Inside, there is a breathtaking kitchen that blends warm timber with rich dark panelling. A marbled laminate bench top and a striking 3D chevron white tile backsplash add a touch of elegance, while the seamless vinyl planking perfectly unifies the space.” The new show home will feature a 90sqm secondary dwelling complete with a 22sqm covered verandah. With recent Selwyn District Council planning rule changes that now permit larger secondary dwellings, which can be rented to the public, Myles expects the company’s secondary dwelling options to become increasingly popular. “It’s a great opportunity for people to have a secondary income from their own land, or for extended family members to stay in, and really showcases the huge possibilities that prefabricated buildings offer.” ElectricalSolutionsLtd Email admin@sharpesl.co.nz www.sharpesl.co.nz EXPERT NEW BUILD ELECTRICAL SERVICES New Housing, Renovations, Solar, Security Alarms Call Callum on 022 123 8175 or Garren on 022 123 8171 Structural | Geotechnical | Civil 03 347 1624 • Septic Tanks & Filters. • Wastewater Treatment Plants. • Water Tanks, Pumps & Filters. • Free Site Assessment. • Residential & Commercial. • Quality Products & Service. • We Design, Manufacture, Install and Service our own NZ Made Products. k bryan@wrighttanks.co.nz K www.wrighttanks.co.nz T: 06 353 6157 F: 06 353 3020 FP: 0800 253 273 WRIGHT T A N K S L T D 0800 253 273 Need a Septic Tank.
