David Reid Homes has achieved numerous accolades for the quality of workmanship on its homes.

David Reid Homes has just released a new range of plans specifically designed to bring together the best of both worlds – quality and economy.

David Reid Homes chief executive Ben Allan says the Mainland Series has been based on proven designs previously built by the company.

“Our focus as a company has always been on the mid- to upper-end of the market, particularly design and build,” says Allan.

“ This range is an opportunity to provide our offer to a greater range of customers.

“Our many years of industry experience have enabled us to come up with this range of nine pre-priced and specified plans.

“It’s a range that is well priced for the market and we have already received very positive feedback.”

The range includes two- to four-bedroom homes ranging in size from 155-248sqm.

The plans have been optimised for building efficiency so that resulting savings can be passed onto the client, says Allan. The look and style of the homes can be customised to suit the client with prices starting at $230,000.

The Mainland series also focuses on offering sustainable options to clients such as energy efficiency, something Allan says that people are increasingly interested in.

“People today want to reduce their on-going energy costs and want options of how to achieve this,” he says.

“These things have to be taken into account at the early stage of planning a home which

Iconic home brand extends its rangeKaren Phelps

is why we have included these options in this series.”

David Reid Homes was started in 1993 and is now an iconic New Zealand brand.

The company is one of the largest building groups in New Zealand and has achieved numerous accolades for the quality of workmanship, including winning more Registered Master Builder regional gold awards in recent years than any other national building group.

David Reid Homes has a nationwide network of 22 franchised branches.

The company undertakes a variety of projects from retirement villages to residential homes and manages building projects from concept to completion.

“We listen to the specific requirements of our clients and custom build to meet their needs,” says Allan. “We guide people through the building process to ensure the desired outcome from one of the largest investments they will ever make.”

Allan says a key factor in the company’s success is choosing a trusted group of suppliers to work with including Rheem, Rockcote and B&D Doors.

Rheem provides David Reid Homes with hot water heating systems including heat pump hot water heating, solar drain backwater heating and the latest hot water cylinder technology.

Rockcote provide a range of premium plaster solutions and B&D Doors offers the Dominator® range of garage door systems.

“We only recommend tried and true products that we know perform well in the New Zealand market. Through years of

experience building we have established networks of suppliers that we know also offer great backup service,” says Allan.

David Reid Homes offers fixed-price contracts which Allan says means no surprises for customers.

The company backs its homes with a Master Build Guarantee or a Homefirst Builders Guarantee. In addition clients can also request a David Reid Homes Guarantee.

“This guarantee is an enhanced deposit and non-completion guarantee to make sure the initial deposit that people pay to their David Reid Homes builder is protected, assuming that they don’t pay more than 10%

of the contract price. It also guarantees that when they start building a David Reid Homes house it will be completed.

‘Overall, it’s a rock solid commitment to our customers and another way David Reid Homes is raising the standard,” says Allan.

He says that the market for David Reid Homes is growing steadily with enquiries doubling in the past year.

“The level of interest in the marketplace is definitely on the rise. We are seeing a strong turnaround in the New Zealand residential market. We are anticipating strong growth through into next year, particularly in Auckland and Christchurch.”

David Reid Homes has forged a proud record in New Zealand.

New showhome excites....This stunning Pavilion home is the latest

David Reid Homes showhome to be opened to the public. Set within the trees of an eco subdivision at Waikanae, the design brief for

the single level home was to create a liveable home for an affordable price.

David Reid Homes chief executive Ben Allan describes the new showhome as a

“contemporary take on the New Zealand vernacular”.

“Clad in band-sawn sustainably milled macrocarpa weatherboard, this home

combines the feel good factor of eco credentials with modern design, high insulation and quality fittings”

Gerard - the worry-proof roofFor many people, choosing a roof is primarily about style, and in this respect, a modern, lightweight Gerard roof offers a myriad of different options to suit architecture of all kinds. With seven different profiles, including tiles, shakes and shingles, and 27 different colour options, you’re spoilt for choice.

But equally important is peace of mind. You want to feel confident that your roof will continue to protect your home and its precious contents even under the most extreme conditions imaginable.

Gerard roofs have been thoroughly proven over time right throughout New Zealand and in over 120 countries around the world.

A lightweight roof you can feel safe under While a concrete tile roof on an average home can weigh around 10 tonnes, the equivalent Gerard satin finish steel tile roof would weigh just 1 tonne – a comforting thought if you live in an earthquake zone.

A roof that’s secure in high windsGerard Roofs steel tiles are fixed to the roof structure with multiple fasteners, predominantly at 90˚ to wind-lift forces. Tested to a wind speed of 350kph – stronger than the wind force at the centre of a Category 5 hurricane – they are much more secure than vertically fixed roofs like concrete tiles or corrugated iron.

A roof that’s at home by the seaThe protective coatings of Gerard Roofs

tiles include a special combination of aluminium and zinc, which provides up to eight times the corrosion resistance of alternative steel roofing products.

A roof with colour that lastsGerard Roofs’ satin finishes have special light-fast pigments and a paint coating up to five times the thickness of that on corrugated metal roofing. The colour of a Gerard textured finish is a natural attribute that resists fading and discolouration.

A roof that can handle snow and iceGerard roofs easily withstand heavy loadings, and are well proven in snow and ice all around the world. Interlocking pressed steel tiles and roofing underlay prevent snow from blowing into the roof cavity.

A roof with a trusted warrantyGerard roofs are covered by pro-rata weatherproof warranty of up to 50 years depending on the environment. Gerard Roofs is part of New Zealand’s largest building products and construction group, Fletcher Building.

When you consider the architectural style and many performance benefits of Gerard roofs, you’d expect the prices to be right at the top of the scale too.

Yet surprisingly the cost of a Gerard lightweight pressed steel roof is comparable to an ordinary long-run or concrete tile roof and can be less in many situations.

SPRING2012 l David Reid Homes - Auckland

David Reid Homes Auckland is not afraid to tackle challenging builds.

The company recently completed a home in Kingsview Road, Mt Eden, Auckland on a site that was down a right of way on a section of 564sqm.

“We worked hard with the clients to adapt the plans to suit their budget and lifestyle,” says company director Tim Farman.

“I think this project demonstrates our ability to work with the client, giving advice and taking care of the entire process to help them achieve the result they desired.”

The David Reid Homes Auckland franchise covers central Auckland and Farman has been the owner-operator since 2008.

“We build architecturally designed custom built homes, homes from our own range as well as large scale renovations.

“No matter what the project we prioritise listening to our clients and realizing their needs,” he says.

The Kingsview Road home was masonry construction with lots of windows included in the design. Global Glass Ltd provided and installed the frameless glass products used in the project including the showers and stair and landing balustrade.

David Reid Homes Auckland largely focuses on design and build contracts and has built up considerable expertise in this area.

Included in the service is the site assessment and architectural design service through to the interior, lighting and kitchen design consultation.

David Reid Homes provides a complete and professional building service, which includes the assurance of a Master Builders Guarantee.

Farman says that using the right sub-contractors is a vital aspect of the company’s success in producing high quality builds.

“We use only skilled subcontractors to produce a finished house that our clients are proud to call their home.

“We’re Genesis Energy’s trade connections team.We’re all about making new electricity and LPG

connections quick, painless and on time,with some great rewards to boot”

Company enjoys a variety of projectsBy Karen Phelps

David Reid Homes Auckland was thrilled with the outcome of this Kingsview Road home.

“We have also surrounded ourselves with an expert team who are committed to delivering a quality home tailored to our clients’ unique wish list and coupled with a fixed price contract.”

In the Kingsview Road project Innovative Interiors designed and built the high quality, custom made, wardrobes including a custom fit-out of the walk-in area and designing units around slopping ceiling.

Their contribution to the project also included assorted hanging lengths and shelving units. Other wardrobes and cupboards were fitted with standard hanging and shelving units.

David Reid Homes Auckland is presently constructing a new showhome in Remuera which will be open early next year.

The 260sqm four-bedroom, two-bathroom

home is built on a sloping site at 85 Orakei Road. The project is design and build using a combination of Linea weatherboard, blockwork and Integra panels.

“This really demonstrates our ability to design and build quality homes for a fixed price.” says Farman, who enjoys being part of the David Reid Homes brand.

“We pride our business on five key pillars: design, construction, project management, commitment and sustainability,” says Farman.

“These key elements ensure we are consistently raising the standard of living for New Zealanders.”

David Reid Homes North Shore-Rodney has built up a reputation for specialising in remove and rebuild projects.

“It’s possible to come across a lot of unforeseen problems when removing a house from a site then building a new home,” says company director Martin Wiltshire.

“We have a lot of expertise in this particular area including council consents, the removal process and generally ensuring everything progresses smoothly and there are no unpleasant surprises.”

The company can not only assist with design and build but also with the resource consent process and the subdivision of sites if required.

Wiltshire says the process is often undertaken by clients as a renovation of the existing home on the site will be too costly.

“Sometimes it is easier to start from scratch rather than have to work with an existing old building and ensure that any additions fit in with it,” he says.

“Also although most of the renovation costs can be known upfront, when dealing with older buildings there are always unknowns which can cause unexpected surprises.”

David Reid Homes North Shore-Rodney covers the area from the Auckland Harbour Bridge to Mangawhai.

The franchises have been owned and operated since 2003 by Wiltshire.

He says that it is imperative to his business to listen to clients’ needs, provide feedback based on solid experience and build exceptional quality houses.

It is for these reasons that he has surrounded himself with staff with extensive experience in design, planning and construction.

“We listen to our customers and give honest straight forward advice.

“With building costs escalating, we realise the importance of excellent design within a budget.”

All of the company’s contracts are based on a fixed price and are delivered with the assurance of a Master Builder’s Guarantee.

Services which the David Reid Homes North Shore-Rodney team can facilitate include site assessment, surveying, contour plans, geotech reports, engineering and of course complete design and build with interior design and landscaping services if required.

The company undertakes residential building, rural developments, inner city, multi-unit projects and large scale renovation work. It can also build off other people’s plans if required.

“A lot of people think at David Reid Homes we just build off our own plans but around 95% of the work we do at this franchise is design and build,” he says.

David Reid Homes North Shore-Rodney has now built more than 200 homes in the region and Wiltshire says it is the staff he employs which have enabled the company to gain such a solid reputation for completing high quality builds on challenging sites.

“No one on our staff has less than 20 years industry experience. That makes a huge difference,” he says.

The company has also recently opened a new show home at 57a Whangaparoa Road. The semi-rural site is a good example of what can be achieved for under $400,000, says Wiltshire.

The 161sqm home is made from Linea weatherboard and was designed especially to take advantage of the best aspects of the site including the view, wind and sun.

Wiltshire says the home has received good feedback from those that have seen it so far.

“We are definitely looking to expand the business as the market grows to meet the continuing demand for high quality housing in Auckland.”

Excellent design within a budget Karen Phelps

“Taking our client’s ideas and designing a stunning concept that suits their own personal style,”.

As a New Zealand owned and operated company she says Midastiles understands what best suits the lifestyle of New Zealanders.

Midastiles has proudly supplied David Reid Homes for the last eight years.

“We have a great team of experienced and friendly staff to help our clients with any job big or small.

“We take great pride in our service, which is second to none. We are constantly sourcing new and exciting products to make a home not only functional but special as well,” says Rasmussen.

New ranges are continuously being introduced to satisfy the desire for the latest design trends. Hot from Italy the company has Marazzi's Treverk Home tiles about to land into the country.“This stunning timber look tile gives you the true look and feel of timber but with the durability of glazed porcelain. It can be laid in wet and high traf�c areas with no maintenance,” explains Rasmussen.

Midastiles has built close relationships with its suppliers, many of whom the company has worked with for up to 20 years.“This means that we can be con�dent about the quality of their production and the support our suppliers give us for our clients.”

Rasmussen says that it is signi�cant that the majority of the Midas team members have been with the group for between �ve and 12 years.“This ensures that the level of industry experience and knowledge within the group is extremely high by industry standards,” she says.

Midastiles is looking at an exciting future under new ownership, which Rasmussen says will propel the business forward.

A recent project for David Reid Homes North Shore-Rodney was the removal of an old home from a site in Lemington Road, Westmere, Auckland followed by the build of a new 265 square metre home.

The $750,000 four-bedroom, three-bathroom home has been designed around a boathouse theme with white weatherboards and a gabled roof.

The modest 417sqm site was the biggest challenge the project presented, says David Reid Homes North Shore-Rodney director Martin Wiltshire.

David Reid Homes North Shore-Rodney completed the entire project from drawing up plans to landscaping.

The company worked closely with selected contractors on the project including Peninsula Plumbing, BML Builders, Vantage North Shore (exterior windows and doors), Wilton Joubert, R and R Painters and Pole Timber.

Engineering firm Wilton Joubert director Kobus Joubert says that the project was a typical example of the engineering input required in building a modern day home.

Wilton Joubert completed a full structural analysis which included raft floor and beam designs as well and wall bracing details.

In addition the company also completed a storm water detention tank design plus some retaining walls.

Wilton Joubert Ltd also had to do a number

of site inspections to ensure compliance with council requirements and documentation.

Global Glass Ltd has worked alongside David Reid North Shore-Rodney for a number of years providing frameless glass products for residential developments.

On the Lemington Road project the company provided and installed the frameless glass balustrade and showers and frosted doors to the home’s toilet, bathroom and pantry.

Innovative Interiors designed and built the

high quality, custom made, wardrobes and storage for the project.

These included the master bedroom walk-in wardrobe, other bedroom wardrobes and linen cupboard, plus assorted shelving and drawer units.

9David Reid HomesSPRING2012 l David Reid Homes - Waikato

David Reid Homes Waikato will soon be giving people a chance to enjoy a close “inspection tour” of some of its top architecturally designed homes.

David Reid Homes Waikato marketing manager Karina Green says the tour, planned for next year, will give people an opportunity to be inspired by some of the best examples of architectural and interior design.

Green says guests will be shown around five of the latest and most stunning architecturally designed David Reid homes within the Cambridge area.

“The tour will include the opportunity to speak with architects, interior designers, and other industry professionals who will be on hand to answer questions and discuss ideas.”

David Reid Homes Waikato currently has some architecturally designed, boutique townhouses up for sale, offering a unique opportunity for buyers to make the homes their own before construction is complete.

Green says the townhouses are appealing to an interesting market of new home buyers who are looking for high-end design features at an affordable price, with low-maintenance living.

Features include large sliding doors that open up a whole corner of the living space, and lead out to entertaining areas which include outdoor fireplaces.

“Buyers can tailor the designs to their needs, whether they want three bedrooms, or two bedrooms and a study, or two bedrooms and an additional living area,” Green says.

“The sooner they get in and buy, the more we can do to tailor these to their needs.”

These properties have been designed also to cater for the needs of the elderly and disabled.

“Subject to the buyer’s needs, the homes are wheelchair accessible; the kitchen space is open and wide and many design features have been considered to help make living easy, such as microwave spaces for ease of access placed under the benchtop.”

There is also the option to have ceramic vanity tops and non-slip lino in the bathrooms, and the low maintenance gardens have raised flower beds to make gardening easier.

“The options are endless and buyers can really make these homes their own.”

Location of these homes is prime, in the heart of Rototuna -141 Rototuna Road - with local schools and shops within walking distance.

David Reid Homes Waikato directors Ben Green and Kelvin Lalich have more than 37 years of building experience between them, and have received many top industry awards for their new homes.

Green and Lalich are in their third year in business together, and have won gold awards at the Registered Master Builders House of the Year awards in all three years.

Showing off franchise’s finest homesKelly Deeks

Charity fundraiserDavid Reid Homes Waikato will also be

hosting a charity event at Mystery Creek in March next year, with the money raised going to support the Starship Children’s Health and Cure Kids charities.

The event is called A Night of Champions on the Red Carpet.

It will feature special guests including New Zealand Master Chef and the face of Fisher and Paykel, Nadia Lim.

Beatles tribute band the Beatgirls will be entertaining at the event, with a special performance by New Zealand’s national Rock’n’Roll champions, an auction, and a three-course meal.

Green says the event is being run as a fundraiser in order to provide something tangible out of the opportunity of bringing famous New Zealand faces and champions together in the Waikato.

“Starship and Cure Kids kind of need each other, as one is about research, and one is about the implementation of that research through resources and facilities.”

David Reid Homes Waikato will soon be giving people a chance to have a look through some of its top architecturally designed homes.

David Reid Homes - Bay of Islands l SPRING2012

David Reid Homes is more commonly associated with residential housing. But the company is also involved in other areas of building.

David Reid Homes Bay of Islands is currently involved in the construction of Vision Bay of Islands retirement village for Metlifecare.

David Reid Homes Bay of Islands has been working on the project for the past few years and has built 40 of the eventual 140 homes.

“It has been a huge learning curve in terms of developing this type of complex because it involves infrastructure as well,” says David Reid Homes Bay of Island Director Kevin Stratful. “It was about stringent budget control while maintaining high standards.”

David Reid Homes Bay of Islands has a permanent office based at the site.

The project involved aspects of the design process as well as the coordination of all aspects of the build including managing current residents and ensuring they are not disrupted during the process.

“The residents have been amazing. They really get involved in the development of the village because it’s their home,” says Stratful.

“It’s an absolute privilege to work with Vision Bay of Islands as they have a great development team. We work well together and share ideas, come up with solutions.”

In 2010 the company’s work on the project was recognized with a Registered Master Builder House of the Year award winning bronze in the Gib Living Retail and Business Project.

David Reid Homes Bay of Islands owners Stratful and Shane Murray operate from an office in downtown Kerikeri.

They say they are happy to be involved with clients from the beginning, advising on land purchase and visiting the customer’s site.

“Based on their wish list we will do a pencil drawing of their home, positioned on their section so that they can see the floor plan and perspective,” says Stratful.

“This is a free service to our clients and is without any obligation.”

Stratful has been involved in the building industry for more than 30 years and has been with David Reid Homes since 2008 and has been involved in the building of gold medal award winning homes.

Retirement village progressing nicelyKaren Phelps

The construction of the Vision Bay of Islands retirement village for Metlifecare has been an enjoyable learning curve for David Reid Homes Bay of Islands.

Shane is from an engineering background and was involved for a number of years in the building of the Marsden Point oil refinery.

Custom builds are the company’s specialty and it works with Northland’s leading design companies including Arcline from Kaitaia, which also designed the Metlifecare village.

People can also gain ideas and inspiration from one of the 40 plans in the David Reid plan range.

When the home is completed the company offers a complementary 12 month home maintenance plan which involves a member of the team visiting the home every 90 days to inspect and ensure the home is meeting client expectations.

David Reid Homes Bay of Islands is about to start work on two new show homes at Watea between Kerikeri and Paihia.

The first showhome will be based on

a modified Prime 5 plan and the second showhome will be based on a Contemporary 9 plan. Both will be adapted for the Bay of Islands lifestyle and open to the public in February/March 2013.

“Our goal is to leverage our expertise in building retirement villages to secure more work in this area as well as continuing to design and build homes, strengthening our position in the market.”

PROUD TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH DAVID REID HOMES QUEENSTOWN

A stunning new eco-showhome at Jack’s Point is proving a strong sales tool for David Reid Homes Queenstown says general manager, Abi Mackenzie.

“The response to the showhome has been fantastic,” she says. “We are currently building an almost identical home for a Queenstown client and have had other David Reid Homes franchisees requesting the plans for clients who have come through and want to build it elsewhere in the country.”

Abi and Fraser Mackenzietook over the David Reid Homes Queenstown franchise in February last year.

They originally designed the 340sqm, four-bedroom home for their own family before deciding to turn it a showhome instead.

“It was one of three houses we had on our books when we first took over the business.

“Now we have at least a dozen homes at various stages of the design-and-build process. The showhome has played a big part in this success.”

With its cedar board-and-batten exterior and Corten steel chimney and feature walls the home blends well with the local landscape.

A Solar Rib metal roof functions as a self-contained power generator, providing solar hot water heating.

Thermal efficient features include 100mm polystyrene insulation through the concrete slab; polystyrene blocks, two blocks high surrounding the entire slab; thermally broken aluminium joinery; underfloor heating; and polished concrete floors.

Inside, some of the special features include a media room with home theatre and surround sound, an audio visual closet to hide away electronic equipment; Apple TVs in three rooms; a large scullery and walk-in pantry, and floor to ceiling windows that take in views of the Remarkables

Abi Mackenzie says the fully-self contained loft above the property’s four car garage has been a big hit and at least half the houses the company currently has under construction have incorporated one.

“The loft has a large bedroom, bathroom, and lounge with kitchenette. It is perfect for teenagers, grandparents or guests.”

Fraser Mackenzie has been a qualified carpenter for 15 years and has spent the last 10 years working in construction and project management in the Queenstown area.

His building company Mack Construction has operated in Queenstown for seven years and acts as the building sub-contractor for David Reid Homes Queenstown’s buildings.

“Fraser retains the overall management of every project, and as a director of both companies, is able to keep a close eye on progress and quality,” says American-born Abi Mackenzie, a solicitor who manages the consent process for David Reid Homes Queenstown’s clients.

The Mackenzies have brought in three new employees – a project manager, contracts manager and sales consultant/design specialist to help meet the growing demand for the company’s services.

Abi Mackenzie says the company works regularly with a “great group of loyal sub-contractors” including Metro Glasstech, PB Joinery and Southern Lakes Scaffolds.

“We really pride ourselves on quick builds so having a good team of subbies who are used to working with us makes the building process much smoother.”

The couple has travelled extensively and designed and built three of their own homes which add to the valuable experience and insight they can pass onto clients, she says.

“We bring a wealth of knowledge of the design and construction process to our clients’ projects and love working with them to create a unique design with lots of special features that meets their needs and desires.”

New eco-showhome draws great response Jo Bailey

The cedar board-and-batten exterior and Corten steel chimney and feature walls ensure the eco-showhome blends well with the local landscape.

David Reid Homes - Dunedin l SPRING2012

David Reid Homes Dunedin is in the process of showcasing its building capability with the build of a brand new show home on a complex site at Roslyn.

The custom-designed two-storey home is a modern design with clean lines, a raised outdoor back garden and balcony on the second storey, designed to complement a site with southerly views but still provide a sunny outdoor space at the rear.

David Reid Homes Dunedin franchise owners Richard Copland and Nigel O’Leary took over the business in 2010, combining their skills to provide an ideal solution for the provision of architecturally designed, custom-

built homes under the David Reid Homes brand.

Copland was born in North East England and came to New Zealand with his family in 2007. On his arrival he built a new home with O’Leary as the builder, and when it was completed, they decided to go in to business together.

Copland has a background in engineering and specialises in project management and systems. He has managed major home alterations and renovation work. He gained a lot of passion for the industry during the design and build of his own architecturally designed home.

O’Leary has 25 years of experience in the building industry, and has worked on many projects ranging from the Hyatt Hotel in

Auckland to several commercial projects in Queenstown and Cardrona.

He has a wide range of experience in project management ranging from smaller homes through to architecturally designed homes and commercial builds.

The two decided to purchase the existing David Reid Homes Dunedin franchise, which was a successful business that had been operating in an extensive area across Otago, from Balclutha to Palmerston, and west to Middlemarch and Naseby, since 2003.

They liked the fact that David Reid Homes had a good name in the industry, combined with good quality, architecturally designed, high-end standard plans.

David Reid Homes has a proud history as one of the largest building groups in

New Zealand. It has achieved numerous accolades over the years for the quality of its workmanship, including winning more Registered Master Builder gold awards in recent years than any other national building group.

The company started in 1993, and has gone on to become a nation-wide network of 22 franchised branches.

The company manages building projects from concept to completion, listening to its customers’ specific requirements, and custom building to meet their needs.

All contracts are based on a fixed price and are delivered with the assurance of a Master Builder’s Guarantee.

company, they have plans which cover the full price range from small 90sqm units to large executive homes.

“The small home plans start from $180,000 all inclusive,” he says.

“We have a flexible approach in all our builds, and if our clients have a desire to finish a house themselves we can provide a build to lock up or any stage they require.”

Copland says that “open and transparent communication” characterises how they deal with their clients.

“The key thing for us is we’re an owner- builder, which you don’t normally get with a

group home builder,” Copland says. “For the owner-builder, this is all about

reputation, and we need to do everything right.”

The pair went into business together mid-recession, but Copland says people are now starting to become more confident in the economy.

“Dunedin is also experiencing a knock on effect from the Christchurch earthquakes, and Otago people needing building work done are taking the opportunity to get it done quickly before too many local builders are lost to the Christchurch rebuild.

David Reid Homes Dunedin has built a diverse range of homes.

“We’re Genesis Energy’s trade connections team.We’re all about making new electricity and LPG

connections quick, painless and on time,with some great rewards to boot”

We have a flexible approach in all our builds, and if our

clients have a desire to finish a house themselves we can

provide a build to lock up or any stage they require.

A stunning Pavilion home is the latest David Reid Homes showhome to be opened to the public.

Set within the trees of an eco subdivision, the design brief for the single level home was to create a liveable home for an affordable price.

David Reid Homes chief executive Ben Allan says that the new showhome - at 4 Ferndale, Waikanae - is a “contemporary take on the New Zealand vernacular”.

“Clad in band-sawn sustainably milled macrocarpa weatherboard, this home combines the feel good factor of eco credentials with modern design, high insulation and quality fittings,” Allan says.

The showhome features a combination of cork tiles and Smart Strand carpet as well as fully ducted heating.

A large galley-style kitchen complements the generous living areas, flowing outside to covered and uncovered patio areas sporting permeable paving.

Complete with an outdoor fire and built-in BBQ, indoor and outdoor speaker system and clever landscaping the home is Kiwi indoor-outdoor living at its best, says Allan.

He says that the Pavilion is a style that David Reid Homes clients across the country are embracing. The plan is typically built to include two or more connected wings.

“The Pavilion style means that privacy and space are enhanced by separated living environments.

“The Pavilion form offers an intimate connection to the landscape and is casual, contemporary, classy and perfectly suited to modern living and easy entertaining.”

Allan says that the showhome is a perfect example of the David Reid Homes philosophy in action.

“Our David Reid Homes design process

Intimate connection to the landscapeKaren Phelps

gives consideration to the options that will make a home energy-efficient, healthy to live in and provide all year round comfort.

“Our sustainability practices also ensure that our customers will have a home that will stand the test of time.”

He says that the showhome also demonstrates the award-winning attention to detail that is given to every build. Allan says that the company’s achievements at the Registered Master Builders House of the Year

competition year after year are a testament to its commitment to quality construction.

“At David Reid Homes we thrive on perfection. True build quality not only relies on a superb finish but also the materials and construction given to the internal structures.”

He says that the David Reid Homes philosophy of fixed price contracts has been particularly popular in the present economic environment because it means that there are no surprises.

“For added peace of mind, we carry comprehensive insurances and offer the David Reid Homes Rock Solid Guarantee.

“At David Reid Homes we realise that everyone is different. That’s why we build houses to reflect the individuality of their owners.”

uilding a high-quality home that treads

lightly on the planet and yet still exudes

style and personality is a challenging task. Often

one standard falls by the wayside as companies

chase the bottom line.

But in keeping a steadfast commitment to all

three principles, David Reid Homes and Dulux

have built a perfect partnership, as the two

companies strive to set the standard for home

design in New Zealand.

David Reid Homes CEO Ben Allan believes

Dulux provides an unrivalled quality and

inspiration for consumers – and that’s why the

company has chosen Dulux to be the preferred

paint supplier for David Reid Homes for the past

four years.

“The Dulux product is the most technologi-

cally advanced in the market. Research and

development is a priority for Dulux, and as a

result the product is longer lasting and

hardwearing compared with other paints”

says Allan.

With over 70 years of experience poured

into their paints, Dulux has long led the game

in developing innovative, high quality and hard

wearing paint products, designed specifically

to cope with New Zealand’s unique conditions.

Today, Dulux’s premium paint products have

A match made in home-design heaven

evolved to suit a unique range of conditions

and homes: from stain, scu�, scrub and burnish

resistant interior paints; to exteriors enhanced

with MaxiFlex technology, which avoid cracks or

peeling by allowing coats to shrink and expand

with the climate; to creating exceptional colour

clarity and enhanced opacity in bright hues,

through the specialty Dulux ChromaMax

Pigment.

And like David Reid Homes, Dulux is

committed to providing a sustainable future

for New Zealand as part of its core business

philosophy.

Through on-going research and development,

Dulux has implemented practices and products

that consider the e�ect on the earth in every

step. This continuous care and contentiousness

has earned the majority of Dulux products the

tick of approval from Environmental Choice – an

independent labelling programme endorsed by

the Ministry for the Environment.

For the past few years, Dulux has led the

market in introducing paints designed with low

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) - chemical

products that are released through the life cycle

of paint, and can cause damage to air quality

and the environment. Most of Dulux’s premium

water based paints are extremely low in VOC,

including flagship paints like Wash & Wear

and Weathershield X10.

However, sustainability is certainly not a

substitute for style. In tandem with David Reid

Homes, Dulux is setting the standard for

bringing contemporary and personalised

schemes into living spaces.

“Our clients really like the Colours of NZ

palette, which gives people the inspiration to

make their home their own,” says Allan.

With over 900 timeless colours, Dulux Colours

of New Zealand range from cool whites,

soothing neutrals and dynamic brights, work

seamlessly with the New Zealand environment

and are a perfect finishing layer for a David Reid

Home, protecting it inside and out and all the

while helping to ensure the environment is

unharmed throughout this process.

B

For a stylish contemporary look in the kitchen and dining area of their show home in Ferndale Drive, Waikanae, David Reid Homes chose Dulux Sandfly Point Quarter for ceilings, Dulux Pupu Springs for the walls, and Dulux Whitby for the doors.

Inspired by the much-loved local landscape, the Dulux Colours of New Zealand range will work wonders in emphasising the look and feel of a David Reid Home, today and for generations to come.

The partnership between David Reid Homes and Dulux New Zealand sets the standard for New Zealand home design

Indoor-outdoor living at its best - the Pavilion style also means that privacy and space are enhanced by separated living environments.
