**🔨 Red Beach Build Update! 🔨**

We’re officially **out of the ground!** 🙌

While we’ve been over on Waiheke, progress at our Red Beach build hasn’t slowed down.

The blocklayers have been on site and have completed the blockwork, all inspections have been passed, and the blocks have now been poured.

Once everything has cured, we’ll be able to **tank the blockwork, install the drainage and metal, and remove the boxing** before moving on to the next stage.

The team has put in a huge amount of mahi to get this project to this point, and it’s great to see all the hard work starting to take shape.

Once we’re backfilled and the site is cleaned up, **we’re off and running!** 🚀

Stay tuned for plenty more progress as this build starts to come out of the ground.

**Back on Waiheke to put the finishing touches on this project! 🏡**

In between our Red Beach build, we’ve been back on Waiheke making some great progress as this project moves into the final stages.

The latest works have included completing the **large entry-level decks, finishing the handrails, electrical and plumbing fit-off, and completing the bathroom fit-outs.**

It’s fantastic to see everything starting to come together, and the finished result is really taking shape. We’re excited to see this one across the finish line!

**Keep an eye out over the coming weeks for the final finished photos — including the kitchen installation.**

Another project getting closer to completion! 🔨

**A lot of work has gone into getting out of the mud at our Red Beach build! 🏗️**

From installing 4 x 4m piles beneath the bridge footings, through to boxing up and securing the site to prevent cave-ins for our 900mm-deep foundations, this one has certainly tested us.

After battling three weeks of torrential rain and challenging ground conditions, we finally got there and poured the concrete.

It’s been a big effort from the team, but seeing the foundations in and the project moving forward makes it all worthwhile.

**Another major milestone ticked off at Red Beach! 💪**

Big Progress in Just 2 Weeks! 🔨🏠

What a couple of days it’s been!

We’ve been getting stuck into the important groundwork — levelling and strengthening the existing bearers, removing old patched flooring, and getting the kitchen, bathroom and laundry areas ready for their new floors.

It’s all about getting the base right first. A solid foundation sets everything else up for a smooth, quality build.

At the same time, foundations are going in for the new garage and extension!

Only two weeks in and the transformation is already huge. We’re stoked with how this project is taking shape — and there’s plenty more to come! 💪🔨

Waiheke Reno Update 🏡✨

The wooden floors are coming up beautifully on our Waiheke renovation, and it’s so exciting to see everything starting to come together!

The bathroom, laundry and kitchen are almost complete and ready for installation, which means we’re getting very close to seeing the finished spaces take shape.

There’s still plenty to do, but we’re loving watching the transformation happen step by step. We can’t wait to get the skirtings finished, the entry deck completed, and see just how amazing the whole place is going to look!

It’s definitely starting to feel like the final stretch now. 🙌

Stay tuned for more progress from the Waiheke Reno — we’re so excited to share the finished result! 🌿🔨✨

Red Beach Project Update 🏡🔨

It’s been another big week on our new Red Beach project, with plenty of progress behind the scenes!

The demolition and concrete removal are now complete, clearing the way for the next stage of construction. We also had the professional team from AWM Asbestos Limited on site to safely and professionally remove the existing asbestos cladding and soffits.

With that work completed, we’ve now installed the full set of profiles and everything is set out and ready for the slab and block foundations to go in.

It’s great to see the site starting to take shape and the project really moving forward. 🙌

We’re looking forward to getting through our first inspection today, which will hopefully give us the green light to start digging on Monday! 🚜

Another exciting project underway — stay tuned as we share the progress from the Red Beach build. 🔨🏡

One of our recent cladding projects on Whitehills Road, Waitoki started out as what we thought would be a straightforward weatherboard replacement to investigate some suspected rot.

Once we opened it up, we discovered the old head flashing details above the windows had been leaking for years. Water had tracked down the sides of the window openings, causing extensive rot throughout the framing.

The scope quickly grew into a full reframe of the entire rear of the house, along with new weatherboards on three sides. Every window had to be removed, including the interior trims, allowing us to install the correct flashing details, tape all window openings, and rebuild the cladding system to current best practice.

Fortunately, we were able to locate where the damage stopped, replace all affected structural framing, and put everything back together properly.

It's a great reminder that what looks like a small repair can often uncover much bigger issues—but fixing them correctly the first time is always worth it.

If you're seeing signs of water damage or have concerns about your home's cladding, get in touch before a small problem becomes a major one.

It's been a little while since our last update on this Waiheke project. Progress was held up while we waited almost three months for a council amendment to be approved, but once we got the green light, the team got straight into it.

Since then, we've completed the building wrap, cladding, insulation, and GIB installation. The plasterers and painters have also worked their magic, bringing the interior to life with a fresh finish.

We're now waiting for the flooring to be sanded before we return to complete the skirtings and front entrance deck ahead of handover.

We're looking forward to putting the finishing touches on this beautiful home and handing it back to its owners. Stay tuned for the final reveal!
