| 109 T T Karen Phelps Young couple bring a fresh perspective Bringing a fresh perspective: Heather Scott-Smith and Cameron Lang. Fowler Homes Southland BUILDING Fowler Homes Southland has entered a new era with the recent takeover of the franchise by Heather Scott-Smith and her partner Cameron Lang. The young couple, both Licensed Building Practitioners in their early thirties, bring a fresh perspective and a wealth of hands-on experience to the Southland housing market. “Typically, females are not builders, so to have a couple owning the franchise and both being builders, that’s a real point of difference,” she says. “We have been building for Fowler Homes for the last five years so we have a great view on the business on the tools and now the office and project management side of things.” This distinctive background has allowed them to hit the ground running since taking over the franchise in January. Their combined experience spans builds across Christchurch, Queenstown, and Dunedin. With Cameron originally hailing from Southland Heather says it’s been great for him to return to his roots. Heather says their age is another factor that sets them apart: “We’re young, so we are open to change and new ways of doing things. This enables us to find better, quicker and more cost-effective solutions. We are flexible, tech-savvy, and ready to grow.” For those who want to see what the couple offer they can visit the Fowler Homes Southland show home in Invercargill, located on Scully Place. Open Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, the 160m² show home showcases a fresh, modern feel with features designed for contemporary family living. Fowler Homes Southland also has a couple of turnkey house and land packages available in Scully Place with construction already underway. Heather says these packages allow buyers to secure their future home with just a 5% deposit, with the balance due upon completion. “Purchasers can choose selected aspects of the home such as colour schemes if they purchase early enough,” Heather says highlighting the opportunity for personalisation. In addition to the Scully Place offerings, three more packages are coming up on Dipton Street, expanding options for potential homeowners. Fowler Homes had its beginnings in 1984 and today has licensees throughout New Zealand, all locally owned and operated. Each one works with clients to help bring their ideas to life, utilising years of building experience, industry knowledge, and architectural services. Fowler Homes Southland offers a wide range of services, from building from clients’ own plans to working with their design team to create customised designs. “We know that in life everyone does things a bit differently so during this process, we get to know the client and what their needs are so that we can help custom design a home that works for their style of living,” explains Heather. The couple lead a team of trusted local tradespeople, ensuring quality service and workmanship throughout the building process. “It’s important to us that we can be really proud of every home we build,” says Heather. “We manage everything from start to finish and look forward to delivering great homes to Southlanders.” “We have been building for Fowler Homes for the last five years so we have a great view on the business on the tools and now the office and project management side of things.” 03 217 6158 admin@amtec.net.nz 69 Eye St, Invercargill www.amtec.net.nz At AMTEC Electrical we are totally committed to supplying a service that consistently meets the requirements of our customers.
