The Breadth of Knowledge & Professional Expertise
Your builder is at the centre of a wide network of professionals with the information and experience to provide guidance to meet the needs of your particular project – your site, your goals, and your budget.
Trades, expertise and practical know-how sits alongside technical analysis to support design and construction.



“Building a house is not an easy process, there's a lot of moving parts. The builder / main contractor has a lot of things to coordinate – and doing things a bit better and more savvy doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to be more complicated.”
Peter Davis: AD Architecture

“We are open to the public, mainly targeting new build, but we also do some renovations. We're also targeting builders – and the industry in general, including suppliers – who are interested in doing things better, especially with detailing and construction methodology and wanting to do things differently.”
Julie Villard: Architect and Eco-Design Advisor, Christchurch City Council

“(As a builder) we have an involvement with the whole project, so we have to know a bit about everything – ventilation, underfloor heating, windows, wall systems, insulation etc, and how they all work together.”
Dan Saunders: Dan Saunders Construction

“From a designer's point of view, we are trying our best to work with the right people and ideally working with clients who have a similar outlook, wanting a long-term base in their design outcome.”
Duncan Firth: Solarei Architecture

“The Certification Guide from the Superhome Movement is a really important document. It gives us something to target. It means that we've thought about all of the fundamental principles of what goes into building better, high-quality homes.”
