If people want us to we can build decks and steps and connect to services.” Reflecting upon the benefits of pre-fabricat- ed homes, Jade says time and efficiency play a significant role in keeping costs down. “All the materials needed by the construc- tion team to build the homes are stored in our yard and everyone works to schedule,” he says. Ten minutes after arriving at the yard, the team is on the tools—they don’t have to go to the merchant to get materials, drive to site, set up and commence work, then pack up early to get home. All inefficiencies associated with an on-site build have been removed.” Each of the standard plans offered by Ex- ceed Homes can be varied, which is frequently the case with very little impact on time. “Our prices start from $99,000+GST for a one bedroom and $245,000+GST for the highest priced four bedroom, ex-our yard. Transport and location costs are on top of that and varies depending on destination.” TILES WINTON P: 03 236 7066 305 Great North Road INVERCARGILL P: 03 218 7014 Cnr Tay & Deveron Street INVERCARGI LL “When the homes leave the yard they’re finished— painted inside and out, floor coverings down, kitchen and appliances installed, tap-ware, showers fitted and complete with heating systems.”
