OUR APPROACH

Price Vs Quality

Kitchen_1The overall impact of these trends is that over many decades, the vast majority of new homes have been designed to minimum required standards, and built to or below minimum required construction standards.
A combination of poor design, cheap materials, and poor construction has resulted in homes that are dark, cold, damp, unhealthy, expensive to maintain, and expensive to run in terms of energy costs. Did you know that 65% of houses in NZ are below minimum OECD Housing Standards because they are damp and cold, falling well below tolerable temperatures during the winter? Unfortunately the problems don't stop there.

The disaster caused by leaky homes in NZ is a prime example of a market that is price driven at the expense of quality. Here we see the use of poor quality materials that lack durability and longevity, cheap inexperienced building labour driven to complete the home too quickly to pay proper attention to high risk areas, as well as inappropriate design that ignores NZ climatic conditions.

In a price driven market, house quality is not the only thing that suffers, so does pricing integrity and customer service. A survey done by a design and construction company in the Bay of Plenty revealed that 90% of people who have built a house don't ever want to do it again because it was so stressful. This stress results from some typical industry practices that we believe are simply unacceptable.
