| 99 Karen Phelps Building with passion in Palmerston JD Builders specialises in the construction and renovation of residential and commercial projects. BUILDING Otago: JD Builders Located 50 kilometres north of Dunedin in Palmerston, JD Builders is well situated to service the needs of the coastal and inland towns and communities of East Otago and beyond. The company is a member of Registered Master Builders and was established by Jeffrey Dennison in 2016. “Palmerston has been our base for the business, but we are expanding into the wider Otago region. We employ staff in surrounding towns and cities,” Jeff says. The company specialises in the construction and renovation of residential and commercial projects and its client testimonies point to the high standard of work and project management provided. As a smaller business, JD Builders is “very flexible” in dealing with client requirements without the corporate overhead of larger companies.” “We have the skills and experience necessary to address any technically challenging aspects of a project, combined with the attention to detail and high level of interior finishes required on residential and commercial fit-out projects. To us, every construction project is unique, we build with passion.” A team is created for each new project which includes JD Builders, the clients consultants, supply chains and authorities to ensure the best outcome. The business has experienced consistent growth since it was established, with word-ofmouth referrals from satisfied clients being a common way of gaining new business. The company has developed a range of pre-designed new home plans that are great for inspiration and ideas. They can be customised to suit individual needs and situations, or a design and build service can be provided for entirely bespoke builds for a broad demographic. “We are in a growing area and because we’ve have the advantage of the coastal proximity, we can cater for people who are looking for a retirement home, holiday accommodation or first home buyers.” JD Builders recently started a large commercial renovation on East Otago High School which it won through a Ministry of Education tender process. The project covers two blocks comprising a total 16 classrooms and involves future- proofing the exterior by the addition of weatherboards, replacing the windows on one block with double glazed aluminium joinery, replacing the trusses and a re-roof along with exterior alterations. Interior work includes replacing ceiling panels and removing skylights. The classrooms have been weatherproofed by a full temporary canopy to streamline the work and to eliminate weather delays. Highlighting the scope of work JD Builders can tackle, the company has completed an impressive renovation on a beautiful two-storey rural lifestyle home clad in Oamaru stone in Herbert. A key aspect of the renovation was to replace its roof. “New roofing was required and initially the client had opted for slate, however, this was not possible due to the pre-existing trusses/ framing in place which had been designed for a lighter roof. Fortunately, we were able to suggest a product with the aesthetics of slate but much lighter weightwise.” The project also involved cleaning the Oamaru stone, fitting double-glazed windows, the addition of barge boards, and the installation large-format frost resistant synthetic porcelain tiles which replaced the original paving outside the front entrance. “Our clients were so happy with the result that we have been invited back at a later time to complete some interior upgrades.” WESITE: jdbuilders.nz EMAIL: jeff@jdbuilders.nz PHONE: 027 354 1754 PLACEMAKERS DUNEDIN & MOSGIEL PLACEMAKERSDUNEDIN & MOSGIEL 86 PORTSMOUTH DRIVE & 34 CARNCROSS ST (03) 466 4617 PROUDLY SUPPORTING JEFF DENNISON BUILDERS www.aoteaelectric.co.nz 4 Trent Street Oamaru | 03 434 8791 “Aotea is proud to be associated with Jeff Dennison Builders” ELECTRIC • COMMUNICATIONS • AIR CONDITIONING • FIRE
