🏡 Got room for a little more?

Creating extra space for whānau, visitors or independent living could be easier than you think!

New Zealand's granny flat exemption is opening up new possibilities for homeowners, and we're excited to be teaming up with Architecture to make them happen! 🏡🔨

Making space at Carver Place 🔨

One wall down and the space is already feeling completely different!

We’re opening things up to create a new kitchen, living and dining area - giving this home a much more connected and functional layout.

Looking forward to seeing the finished result! 🙌

🔨 Friday Shout Out!

This week we're giving a well-deserved shout out to our apprentice, Ryan – better known around site as Frosty. ❄️

Frosty's almost into his third year of his apprenticeship already! He's been putting in the mahi across our renovation projects, learning new skills and always keen to get stuck in.

Keep up the great work, mate! 👏
