| 95 Keith Hay Homes Christchurch BUILDING T T Karen Phelps Standing the test of time The transportable solutions come in various sizes, from cosy 60sqm, two-bedroom units to spacious, 160sqm five-bedroom family homes. With a rich history dating back to 1938, Keith Hay Homes Christchurch stands out for its innovation and reliability, and in particular has been at the forefront of the transportable homes revolution. “There’s a misconception about transportable homes,” branch manager Glen Ellis says. “Today’s transportable homes are very high-spec with modern designs. We use timber framing, so it’s akin to a traditional build methodology, but with the added benefits of efficiency and flexibility.” Keith Hay Homes Christchurch, which has been serving the local community since 1972, specialises in both transportable homes and traditional on-site builds. Glen says transportable construction allows it to offer a quick turnaround time. “For a stock house we can go from an empty site to a finished home in two months, compared with nine to 12 months for a traditional new build,” says Glen. “This efficiency is particularly advantageous for locations that are hard to reach, as the homes can be built economically in our yard and then transported to the site.” The company recently opened a new show home in Christchurch, showcasing its latest design innovations. The 120sqm three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is a testament to modern living. “This beautiful plan offers a truly perfect entertainers’ home. It features a sizeable kitchen with a separate scullery and laundry area. The central living area opens effortlessly to the outdoor space, creating an extended living area perfect for the Kiwi lifestyle.” Whether a transportable or design-andbuild on-site home, he says one of the key advantages of choosing Keith Hay Homes is the flexibility in design and finish. Customers can choose from a range of floor plans and rooflines, and customise cladding, colours and internal fit-out to suit their preferences. The transportable solutions come in various sizes, from cosy 60sqm, two-bedroom units to spacious, 160sqm five-bedroom family homes. All homes are built in the Keith Hay Homes yard to code of compliance status, fully plumbed and wired. Once delivered to the site and placed on foundations, the home can be ready for occupancy as little as two weeks later. “Our homes are popular for family homes, minor dwellings, extended family accommodations and rural settings to name but a few. We offer full turnkey solutions or can simply deliver the house to the site, depending on the customer’s needs.” The longevity of Keith Hay Homes is a testament to its commitment to customer satisfaction. As a family-owned business now in its third generation of leadership, the company has built over 50,000 homes across New Zealand. The current CEO, David Hay, is the son of founder Keith Hay, while grandson Matthew serves as the general manager. Keith Hay Homes prides itself on being a truly New Zealand company. “We use locally sourced products – no cheap imported imitations. Our motto is ‘success through satisfied customers’, and we stake our name and reputation on that.” The company’s approach to home building offers numerous benefits. The homes are designed with energy efficiency in mind, featuring double-glazed windows and insulation that exceeds NZ Building Code requirements. The controlled environment of the construction yard allows for close quality management and minimises delays. With its innovative approach to home building, commitment to quality and long-standing reputation in the industry, Glen says that Keith Hay Homes continues to shape the future of housing in New Zealand. “We’re not just building houses; we’re creating homes that stand the test of time, just like our company has for over 85 years.” WE CAN BUILD YOUR HOME OR HELP YOU BUILD YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO guarantee completion.
