The 145sqm three bed, two bathroom includes a separate living area and showcases the possibilities of a smaller site. It has a horizontal timber feature in the master bedroom and timber scissor truss ceiling as well as vertical timber on the front façade, which will also include brick and plaster. The show home is earmarked for opening in February 2023. With its head office and master franchise in Christchurch Fraemohs Homes boasts a total of six franchises including Wanaka/Twizel, Nelson/Tasman, Wellington, Hamilton and Bay of Plenty. It’s a recent venture for the company to franchise and it is looking for potential franchisees in other key parts of the country to spread its reach nationwide. Fraemohs Homes was started in Christchurch in 1968 when Monni Fraemohs arrived in New Zealand from Denmark with a passion for Danish design and quality and inspired by New Zealand’s natural environment and plentiful exotic timber. Amanda says that Fraemohs Homes remains locally owned and true to Monni’s founding principles: excellence in design, quality and delivering homes that customers love to live in. Fraemohs Homes offers a number of distinct ranges. Its solid timber range includes transportable homes and boasts the all timber features inside and out that make Fraemohs Homes unique. The timber mode range brings in some key Fraemohs timber features to a more standard house design. It includes the Alpine range of larger architecturally designed homes and the Fraemohs First entry level range giving customers plenty of options depending on their vision and budget. Amanda says solid timber construction has many benefits. “It’s backed by over 50 years of proven performance in New Zealand and the Fraemohs interlocking timber system is proven to be among the very best performers in both the Christchurch and Kaikoura earthquakes, saving both lives and livelihoods. Solid timber is natural, biodegradable and locks up large amounts of CO2 indefinitely. When it’s locally grown like ours it negates carbon miles required by importers of foreign timber. On completion, a Solid Timber home by Fraemohs is actually carbon-negative. Solid timber also naturally breathes, regulating both the temperature and humidity levels within the home. This has been scientifically proven to create an environment of heightened relaxation and air quality,” explains Amanda. She says the Fraemohs Homes philosophy is to provide sustainable timber building to protect the New Zealand environment and way of life as well as to transition the New Zealand construction industry to a sustainable timber future. This extends to providing customers with options about other sustainable materials that might fit their goals and budget and also to use local suppliers where possible. Fraemohs Homes is a registered Master Builder and offers a Master Build Guarantee with every home it builds. Amanda says there is still a plenty of opportunities for people in the Christchurch market to build a brand new home. Fraemohs Homes has house and land packages available in Meadowlands as well as Sabys Estate in Halswell and Beachgrove in Kaiapoi. Each has a plan designed specifically for the site but key features can be changed such as colours to customise the home. Fraemohs Homes also completes design and build projects.
