90 | Hillco Ltd T T Bernadette Cooney Homes showcase company’s skills In addition to design-and-build projects, Hillco develops its own spec homes. BUILDING Led by owner Nick Hill, professional building company Hillco Ltd offers a comprehensive range of design-and-build services and move-in-ready homes across Blenheim and the wider Marlborough region. Nick is a licensed building practitioner with over 20 years’ experience, and his company specialises in design-and-build projects, renovations, decks, fencing, and hard landscaping. With a reputation for quality workmanship and competitive pricing, Hillco has become a trusted name. In addition to design-and-build projects, Hillco develops its own spec homes. The current showcase is a four-bedroom family home within the sought-after Blenheim subdivision, Boulevard Park on Taylor. This exquisite residence is a 239sqm home on a 704sqm section at 31 Turnbull Drive, Taylor Pass. It features a modern, open-plan design with seamless flow between the kitchen, dining and living areas, making it fit for family gatherings and entertaining. The master bedroom includes a large, tiled bathroom ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, while the rest of the house offers generous bedrooms, separate laundry and a dedicated office space. “This is a lovely, well-appointed home available now,” says Nick. “It’s one of our current show homes we’re more than happy to show people around.” Nick’s own recently completed home also serves as a show home, featuring high-end finishes that highlight the company’s capabilities. “I tell clients I wouldn’t put anything in your house that I wouldn’t put in mine, and I stand by that,” says Nick. Nick’s small but experienced build team includes a qualified builder, who has been building with Nick for 20 years. “Todd Foote was my first-ever employee and he’s been with me for 20 years, so he’s very much my right-hand man now,” he says. “We do everything ourselves, from the design and consenting, to construction and completion we take care of it every step of the way.” Over the years, Hillco has grown organically, relying on word-of-mouth referrals rather than advertising. “We’ve always been busy, and we’ve never really needed to advertise,” says Nick. “Most of our work comes through recommendations from previous clients, which is always a positive sign.” Nick’s career in the trades began in aluminium joinery before he transitioned to building, where he saw greater opportunities for growth. Despite recent economic fluctuations in the construction sector, Hillco has remained steady, thanks in part to its ability to diversify. While new-home construction slowed, the company kept busy with renovation projects, rural buildings, fencing, and landscaping. Nick recently stepped down after six years as president of Marlborough District branch of Certified Builders, to focus on business ventures and allow a fresh perspective from a new president. Hillco remains a member of NZCB and Nick remains actively involved in the group. “As a small company, having the backing of certified builders is invaluable,” he says. “It ensures high standards and gives clients confidence.” As Marlborough’s building market rebounds, Hillco is positioned for continued success. With a commitment to quality, adaptability, and customer-focused service, Nick Hill and his team are set to shape the region’s development one high-quality build at a time.
