X-Factor Design and Build

We love restoring and renovating older houses using period materials and techniques to return them to their original glory. Indoor /outdoor flow and better utilisation of space can be a feature of an X-factor makeover of any house. This can rejuvenate the property for owners who are happy with their location and don’t want to move.

Additions are done in sympathy with the style of the house, not in glaring contrast. They can increase living areas, change the whole layout of the house and create extra bedrooms, bathrooms, or pretty much what you wish.

We do everything from bottom to the top, re-piling new flooring, re-cladding walls and reroofing are just the start. French doors or bi-fold doors, window replacement or more windows it’s your choice.

Great decks and pergolas are often in conjunction with retaining walls or trellis screens creating outdoor living for hot summers. Our team of tradesmen have diverse skills, installing kitchens and showers along with tiling floors and walls.

Natural wood is us and we lay a lot of rimu flooring or Kwila, Kauri - any wood suitable . Lawson timber is naturally equivalent to H.3 treatment and smells great- our preference for exterior cladding decks and indoor uses.

New Builds are normally one off designs with a lean towards environmentally sound products great insulation and ventilation for all seasons.

We carry strong themes to suit client wishes from Victorian splendour through Indo- Bali, Asian, Farmhouse, Beach bach or whatever.

Maintenance issues are also important to us, ensuring leaks, rot and the like don’t cause further or spreading damage to your major investment and home.
