24 | Versatile Homes and Buildings Cromwell T T Alexia Anderson Commitment to quality and innovation One of the most recent additions to its wide range of home plans is its Advantage range, which features homes from 30sqm to 100sqm. REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT For almost five decades, Versatile has been at the forefront of constructing quality buildings across New Zealand. Since its inception in 1976, the company has continually evolved, learning and adapting to the changing needs and preferences of New Zealanders and how they like to live. Versatile has more than 30 locations nationwide, ensuring no matter where you live, there will always be someone who can help. Among them are Chris and Debby Westlake, who purchased the Cromwell franchise a year ago. Chris said, nationwide, a lot of work has gone into studying everything from the way we use our homes at different stages of life, to the way we interact with our communities. “We’ve taken all of those insights and created a range of plans for every type of life; an array of homes that, while all different, were designed with one core purpose in mind - to help Kiwis get the most out of life.” Currently the Reader’s Digest most trusted garage builder in the country, Versatile identified a growing need to diversify its offerings to include residential homes. The company’s expansion has allowed it to leverage its iconic name and trusted reputation in the residential market and is now proud to offer a diverse range of home plans, designed to cater to every type of lifestyle. One of the most recent additions to its wide range of home plans is its Advantage range, which features homes from 30m2 to 100m2. Chris said these homes provide versatile solutions as secondary dwellings, ideal for accommodating growing families, ageing family members, or generating additional income. They can also serve as standalone homes for smaller sections, making them a practical choice for many New Zealanders. “We don’t focus on one group of buyers as we truly believe we have solutions for everyone.” Versatile has also launched a new range of portable homes, further expanding its innovative offerings. Manufactured offsite, these homes are able to be dropped into your backyard to serve a range of needs, including giving teens their own space or bringing ageing parents closer to loved ones. ith six contemporary designs ranging from 8m2 to 48m2, each portable home plan offers the comfort and quality synonymous with the Versatile brand. Versatile expanded into Cromwell in March 2000, which Chris and Debby now head, alongside a loyal team of 11 experienced staff members, all of whom have a deep understanding of the local market. That knowledge is complemented by strong relationships with local subcontractors who pride themselves on their craftsmanship, ensuring that the company’s projects support and benefit the local community. With a site office at 32 McNulty Road and an award-winning show home at 9 Alpha Street, Cromwell, the branch provides accessible and flexible services to its clients. The sales team is dedicated to meeting clients at convenient times and locations, demonstrating the company’s commitment to customer satisfaction. Each of the company’s attributes has set it up well to achieve success, including Franchise of the Year, Sales Person of the Year, Show Home of the Year and Garage of the Year. It also has multiple Master Builder awards to its name, including a Gold Award and Category Winner, something the team was proud to have achieved. While the construction sector has slowed in some parts of the country, Central Otago and Queenstown Lakes have remained relatively resilient, which had kept the team at Versatile Cromwell busy. www.flooringxtra.co.nz ALEXANDRA 60 Russell St P: 03 448 7088 E: alexandra@flooringxtra.co.nz CROMWELL 5 The Mall P: 03 445 0835 E: cromwell@flooringxtra.co.nz Locals supporting locals for 30 years! 30 years IN BUSINESS CARPET .
