About The Project

Located in Auckland where many professionals wish to live, this was a great location for providing more housing. The idea was to replace the existing 3 bedroom house and build 3 new dwellings, comprised of a single freestanding house and a duplex.

What We Did

After removing the existing house, the subdivision works were carried out, followed by the construction of the 3 new dwellings as planned.

  • Planning permission and subdivision resource consents.
  • Collaborating with architect to prepare Building Consents.
  • Remove the existing old house, and clean the site.
  • Civil works and building platform preparation carried out.
  • Optimising timeline by staggering work between houses.
  • Construction and landscaping of 3 new homes.
  • Preparing homes and landscaping for tenancy.
  • Rent out all new homes with letting agents.
