New House - Karori

In 2019 we built this architecturally designed, compact 3 storey house on an existing site in Karori. The owners have quite a good sized parcel of land and demolished the existing double garage to the main house to make way for the new dwelling.

A small but tricky build featuring cantilevered steel beams, 3 different types of cladding, internal deck etc.

This was a turn-key project including complete project management - earthworks, blocklayer, concrete placer, plumber / drainlayer, electrician, solid exterior plasterers and interior plasterers, painters and carpet layer.

Definitely an eye catching and unique house, and some of the nicest clients we have come across to date!

This project involved:

  • Turn-key contract with all subcontractors included

  • Engineer designed foundations over existing garage slab, engineer designed cantilevered steel beams

  • Multiple concrete pours for foundations

  • Block wall tanking

  • Timber pre-nail frames and roofs pitched on site

  • 3 different types of cladding - bevel back weatherboard, James Hardie Titan Board, Integra

  • 2 different types of roofing - Colorsteel and Butynol

  • Waterproofed tiled showers
