Hello, I'm Pete, founder and director of Build Unlimited.

My life’s journey, rooted in South Auckland’s Pukekohe, has been a dynamic adventure that shaped my love for building dream homes.

In my earlier years, I was the shy, quiet kid until the arrival of my loyal companion, Storm, a husky cross rescued after the Christchurch earthquakes. Together, we ventured into dog training, unveiling not just Storm’s spirit but also unlocking my communication skills. This experience ignited a passion for assisting others, particularly in puppy training, teaching me the value of teamwork—an ethos I carry into my work with clients and architects.

Though I initially thought I wanted to be a mechanic, my heart led me to building, following in the footsteps of the builders in my family. Starting my apprenticeship at 18, I swiftly progressed, completing architectural homes in Auckland and Waiheke Island. Taking over site management for a $3M unit development in Remuera honed my leadership skills, setting me on the path to project management and, eventually, establishing my own company.

After managing over 60 projects, I craved new experiences. Venturing to Southeast Asia and Europe, I absorbed diverse cultures and worked in hospitality and tourism in Berlin, fostering valuable communication and people skills. This global exposure taught me the importance of openness and honesty, crucial when creating dream homes that align with clients’ visions.
Scuba diving became a newfound passion during my travels, offering not just breathtaking underwater experiences but also lessons in remaining calm under pressure. It was through diving that I met my partner, Emma, and together we continue to explore the world, balancing our love for travel with our commitment to our jobs.

The challenges of 2020 brought me back to Auckland, prompting a decision to fully commit to my dream of building a company. Build Unlimited has since thrived, with achievements like being showcased in the NZCB Revere Magazine and managing a $1.6M+ commercial fitout that earned an architectural design award.

As a self-proclaimed perfectionist, I uphold high standards of craftsmanship and quality materials, ensuring our clients receive top-notch results. Our commitment to communication and meticulous attention to detail is embedded in our processes, guaranteeing your vision becomes a reality.

YOUR PEACE OF MIND DURING THE BUILD

CLEAN AND TIDY SITE

Build Un limited takes health and safety seriously. We believe that a clean and tidy site is a safe site. We ensure there is a skip bin onsite for all trades, who are expected to clean up after themselves every day.

PROFESIONAL HAND OVER CLEAN

We complete a full project hand over clean using a professional cleaning company prior to handing you the keys to your dream home, one less thing for you to worry about and allows you to move into your new clean home, ready to get on with more important things.

LIVEABLE RENOVATIONS

We understand our clients will often be living in their home while work is happening. We have systems in place to separate the work space from your living space as well as dust barriers to ensure your renovation is dust free and as liveable as possible.

QUALITY CONTROL

We follow a 280+ Point quality control checklist that we have developed. Covering every detail from foundations, framing right down to ensuring power points and switches are all the same height. This ensures that your home is completed to the highest possible standards.

CONSTANT COMMUNICATION AND INSTANT PROJECT UPDATES

We believe client involvement is important throughout the project and communication is an important part of this. We also provide you with a client portal, where you can login and view all the important information about your project, providing you with updates at the click of a button.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Build Unlimited provides full project management for all our projects, from initial concepting to your finished home. This ensures everything runs smoothly and stress free for our clients, like you.

NZCB HALO 10-YEAR RESIDENTIAL GUARANTEE

Exclusive to NZCB members, we automatically include the Halo Guarantee with all qualifying projects, this gives you an additional peace of mind that you are in safe hands and your investment is protected for years to come.

We know building your dream home or renovating your existing house can be a stressful time, here at Build Unlimited we try our best to make things stress free and run smoothly. This is why we have developed a 9-step process that we use on all our projects.

1) Introduction + Initial Consultation

We believe everything starts with understanding our clients, what is important to you and your vision. No matter what stage you’re at, the earlier we can connect with our clients the better the end result will be.

When you get in touch with us, we will call you to discuss your project and organise an initial consultation where we meet and together we go over:

• Your ideas
• Your reasons for renovating/building your dream home
• Wishlist of wants and needs
• Financial resources available to fund the project
• The timeline for the project
• Any questions you have about the project

The main goal of the initial consultation is for us to fully understand the vision you have for your completed dream home.

2) Preliminary Agreement + Concept Plans

To further our partnership, and to proceed with the concepts and pricing of your project, we request that you sign a standard preliminary contract agreement.

If necessary, we will put you in contact with a reputable architect or interior designer to create conceptual plans for your project that will align with your budget and ideas as discussed during the initial consultation. If you already have a preferred architect and concepts drawn up, we can work with these. The concepts are a critical step in the building process as they ensure you are happy with the overall design. They also assist in acquiring finances from your bank.

Once we have a concept plan, we complete an initial cost estimate for your project, taking into account the ideas and finishes discussed during the initial consultation. This means you can see roughly how much the project will cost before committing to having a full set of plans drawn up, which are costly to produce and alter. Once you are happy, we will be able to proceed with the designs.

3) Preliminary Works + Estimated Build Cost​

We complete any necessary preliminary tasks working under the signed preliminary agreement, such as getting Engineering and Geotech reports, and asbestos testing for renovation projects. We work in collaboration with you and the Architect to discover what is most important to you. This provides us with a necessary insight into things like your design aesthetic and how you want to utilise the space.
Additionally, we arrange meet and greets with our preferred suppliers. During this time, it is important to go over the finer selections, such as;

• Cladding types
• Doors and Windows
• Fixtures and fittings
• Kitchen Cabinetry
• Floor coverings
• Colours
• Appliances
• and so much more.

We use this information to create the Selections Schedule. This important step ensures that everyone understands your vision, so we can move forward with the construction process.

4) Working Drawings

Your chosen architect will complete a full set of working drawings, these are used for council consent and pricing of your project. Once the working drawings have been completed they will be sent to the Council to gain building consent, this typically takes around 6 weeks after submission.

5) Pricing Proposal

Once you are satisfied with the final design and the plans have been submitted for consent, we will create and present you with a pricing proposal.
Our Pricing Proposal includes:

• Detailed quote and scope of works
• Itemised breakdown of materials
• Selections Schedule
• Project and payment schedule
• Halo 10-year Residential Guarantee

During the Pricing Proposal stage, we reach out to multiple vendors and suppliers to get competitive quotes. This process typically takes around 3-6 weeks depending on the complexity of your project and supplier availability.

It is important to note that our initial pricing proposal is based on the final Architectural plans and the Selections Schedule. Our approach allows us to provide you with a comprehensive and transparent understanding of your project’s potential expenses.

6) The Build / Commitment & Signed Contract

Once we have finalised your pricing proposal, we will present you with the final building contract for you to sign. Once the building contract is signed and the required deposit is paid, we agree on a start date to begin your project and we begin ordering materials. We can start site work as soon as the consent has been approved.

We provide you access to our industry-leading client portal providing you with full transparency over all aspects of your project: including project schedule, selections, variations and financial tracking.

You will have a dedicated project manager who will be your point of contact for the duration of your project, meaning you only have to deal with one person. They are responsible for every aspect of your project, from start to completion and will ensure your project stays on schedule. We have a robust quality control process using a 250+ point checklist that our project managers complete at every stage of the build to ensure everything is done right the first time. They will keep you informed every step of the way, meaning you can sit back and watch your vision become a reality.

7) Ongoing Client Input

You are an integral part of the entire process. We believe in total transparency, it is important to have regular onsite client meetings to confirm or make important decisions. We want to ensure that you enjoy and feel included in the whole process of building your vision.

We will invite you to walk through the space at different stages of the build to ensure you are happy with how everything is progressing. These walk-throughs are the perfect time to add or change small things, such as light switch locations and paint colours, that are often hard to visualise prior to seeing everything under construction.

8) Completion & Handover

Once your project is completed and your vision has been brought to life, we do a final walk-through with you to ensure you are happy with everything, signing off a final checklist together. If there is anything not up to standard we will complete these in a timely manner. We will apply for a Code of Compliance for your home, which is the final sign-off from the Council.

Before handing you the keys to your dream home, we will complete a thorough clean of your home to ensure that your home is ready for you to move into. We will then provide you with our handover package which includes:

• All Project Documents
• Records of Inspections & CCC
• Product Warranties
• Maintenance Schedule
• Halo Guarantee Document

10) Beyond The Build

We are very proud of the beautiful homes and renovations we create. However, this wouldn’t be possible without developing a meaningful relationship with our clients, so our commitment to you doesn’t stop at the completion of your home.

We look after those who become a part of the Build Unlimited family. It is a relationship that continues long after the keys are handed over, the project completed and throughout the maintenance period. In most cases, our clients ask us to work with them again on future projects.

Our maintenance guidelines, product information and warranties provided at handover ensure that you have all the tools and knowledge needed to take care of your home long after completion. We will always be able to respond to any issues from our clients who we consider part of Build Unlimited’s expanding family.
