Personal Experience

Renovating or building a new home is one of the most important things you will ever do. By working with a Certified Builder direct you can form a personal relationship with your builder to ensure you get the best advice.

Many people think that hiring an architect or draftsperson is the first step in renovating or building their dream home. However, engaging a builder before you design your home is one of the wisest choices you can make. From design concept to post-construction home maintenance, KN Construction can guide you through every step of the construction process.

Stage 1: Pre-Construction

KN Construction can assist you in obtaining a comprehensive set of drawings ready for the necessary building consent, and can budget forecast to ensure your design can be built to within your budget.

The Vision: Often times the building industry is reactive rather than proactive. KN Construction pre-construction process is a proactive approach, addressing key elements that prepare plans and specifications that reflect your dream for your new home or renovation to within your budget. The benefits of spending time in a quality pre-construction process are realized with less confusion during construction, better plans and specifications, value engineering, budget management and cost control.

Transparent Budgeting: The pre-construction process includes budget forecasting and creation. Having a cost estimate prior to your plans being completed is a proactive way of designing to your budget. We see too often plans coming out of consent that cannot be built to the clients budget. Around 30% of consented plans in NZ are not built because of this. Before construction a comprehensive and detailed quotation is submitted, allowing you to make more informed decisions about selecting building materials and internal finishes.+Then it is up to you to decide on either fixed-price or cost-plus margin contract. The choice is yours.

Have Your Own Plans? Well, that is ok too. We can take any client-supplied plans and provide any feedback, advise plus of course a comprehensive quotation.

Stage 2: Build
Lets Start Building your Dreams

Let's start building your dreams. With an accurate budget and a detailed plan forward, your project is ready to start.

Stringent Project Management: With an accurate budget and a detailed plan forward, your project is ready to start. During the construction process, the team is augmented by a dedicated site manager. Between the site manager and the project manager, they will guide the team to build your dream home. Our online project management software, Co-Construct gives you access, whether that is on your computer or using our app on your phone, to see messages, schedule, budget and communication between the subcontractors. This level of dedicated support avoids the difficulties that can arise when subcontractors have no guidance from the general contractor and make decisions on their own. These steps provide a clear path to facilitate the building of your new home.

We Talk The Talk: Communication is a critical part of any construction project, whether it be small or large. The systems and tools that we have implemented, facilitate the most effective communication between all who are involved in the project. This high level of communication makes the entire process smoother and more cost-effective.
