The old original bach was demolished, and in its place is a new bach with board and batten finish, internal truss system (with hidden joints). Ceiling is tongue and groove villaboard. Two external waterproofed decks, complete with cape cod style balustrade (with hidden fastenings). A garage with an upstairs apartment was added onto the section, and mimics the same design as the house.
Whangamata builder, Dave Artz, has been bringing his knowledge and experience to the forefront of the construction industry for over 20+ years.
Our projects have included beautiful beach homes, transforming renovations, and added-value alterations, as well as fences, garages and carports – anything that requires a hammer.
We are a small and effective team, guided by Dave who’s role is to manage the project including timelines and a range of targets. The guys we have in our crew are all lively and approachable, and all bring certain skills and talents to the job.
Dave has an open communication style, and his wife, Susie, is in the office fielding the emails and calls, and monthly invoicing, plus managing the regulations and legislation the construction industry faces.
We also have a sister company – Peninsula Precast. Concrete precast panels are becoming more mainstream, as people prefer their strength, ambiance and their semi-industrial look. There is a lot of customisation to ensure they become a feature of your build, and our own team of carpenters set up the panel moulds.
With this type of work we need heavy machinery, which comes in handy with the building site, such as lifting roof iron or getting materials into tight places. So naturally, this does save costs to our clients.
