Jason Gorton Building BUILDING Jason and Michelle Gorton’s new venture, Seven2, aims to transform the way homes are build in Southland. The innovative company, launched about a year ago, runs parallel to their established business, Jason Gorton Building, and specialises in off and on site prefabricated homes. “We think about building differently,” Jason explains. “As the industry faces changes, you’ve got to adapt. Everyone deserves the chance to build their dream home. We’re here to help people do just that.” Seven2 operates from a large undercover facility in Invercargill, where homes are constructed in a controlled environment. This approach offers numerous benefits, including increased efficiency and protection from weather-related delays. The company utilises the Metra Construction Panel System, which Jason describes as “one of the most revolutionary materials the industry has come across.” The Metra-Panel system involves using large, pre-cut engineered wood panels for walls, floors, and ceilings. Jason says this method ensures precision, reduces waste, and significantly speeds up the construction process. “Our revolutionary materials and future-focused approach mean we can produce prefab homes that are second to none, challenge current timeframes, are superior in build, and can be moved from our local factory floor to any location in Southland and beyond,” says Jason. One of the key advantages of Seven2’s prefab homes is the potential for cost savings. The reduced labour costs and shorter construction times translate into significant savings for homeowners, says Jason. Additionally, the energy efficiency of these homes, thanks to advanced insulation and modern building techniques, leads to lower utility bills in the long run. Seven2’s process is designed to be straightforward and customer-centric. Clients can choose from pre-designed blueprints or work with the team to customise their dream home. “We keep people involved in the process at every step of the way. After all, it’s their home, we’re just building it,” says Jason. While Seven2 is making strides in the prefab housing market, Jason Gorton Building continues to thrive in traditional construction. Established in 2015 by Jason and Michelle, the company has built a strong reputation in Southland, Queenstown Lakes District, and Central Otago. Jason Gorton Building offers a comprehensive range of services, including residential and commercial construction, additions and alterations, fencing and decking, and renovations. The company employs a team of around 14 builders and offers in-house design services making it a one-stop shop for all building needs. As Registered Master Builders and Licensed Building Practitioners, the company prides itself on quality workmanship and customer satisfaction. “We are open, honest and transparent in the way we do things. So people know exactly what they’ll get. We take them through a bespoke journey, it’s not a one size fits all approach,” says Jason.The success of both Jason Gorton Building and Seven2 can be attributed to Jason and Michelle’s innovative approach and commitment to quality. By embracing new technologies and construction methods they are aiming to position their businesses at the forefront of the industry.
