KEY2 IS ADVANCING THE NEW HOME MARKET

IN NEW ZEALAND, ONE HOME AT A TIME

WE ARE THE NEW HOUSE AND LAND PACKAGE SPECIALISTS

Following the success of this innovative building concept in Queensland, Russell identified an opportunity to offer a similar product in Auckland, where the housing market was experiencing a downturn. Because KEY2 could be more competitive than the existing market players, the company rapidly expanded. KEY2’s unique approach to home building has meant that its services have been welcomed by New Zealanders looking for personal, professional service, competitive prices and an all-inclusive home solution - from the ground up.

KEY2 now offers Auckland’s largest range of house and land packages. In just a few busy years, the company has put together over 150 house and land packages in both New Zealand and Australia, ranging from affordable home solutions of around $350,000 to million dollar luxury homes.

And Russell and his team are not about to stop there. They are currently developing more exciting, inventive building solutions and are expanding into other New Zealand construction markets.

WHO ARE KEY2?

KEY2’s history is a quintessential story of innovation, ingenuity and professionalism.

Committed to providing New Zealanders with seamless building solutions, KEY2 was established in 2003 by Russell Benshaw.

Initially based in Ponsonby, Auckland, this boutique real estate company specialised in residential and small commercial projects. As KEY2 quickly became a competitive market player, it moved to Albany and diversified into townhouse and city fringe residential building, both in the investment and owner-occupier markets.

In 2005 KEY2 spread its wings into the Australian market, specialising in selling New Zealanders complete home and land packages. This innovative scheme provided home builders with comprehensive building solutions, supplying owner-occupiers and investors with land, expert advice, finance, personalised design concepts and home building packages.

KEY2 is a ‘cowboy free’ zone. Every builder we recommend has been personally vetted and approved by us.

As members of either Master Builders or Certified Builders, all our firms offer a comprehensive structural and workmanship guarantee of 10 years. Our freedom to choose also means we can offer FIXED price build contracts.

So with KEY2, you are assured of both outstanding quality and the best contract at the best price.

Land Identification and SelectionKEY2 have a team of experienced agents who identify ideal land sites. These sites are put through a rigorous process to establish their suitability to construction and the project you have in mind.

Some land looks too cheap to be true. And that’s usually because it is. In most cases, a bargain plot may be cheap, but the costs involved to bring it to a ‘buildable’ state will be substantial. That’s a problem that can cost thousands of dollars and time. That’s where KEY2 makes the difference. We make sure you know exactly what to expect during your building project.

House Design SelectionOnce you and our KEY2 building professionals have established your ideal site, the real fun begins. Designing your dream home.

Once again, KEY2 is with you every step of the way, helping you find the best house design for your requirements.

Whatever your budget or the amount of input you want to contribute, we can help you make the right design decisions.

From first home buyers and investors to substantial family residences, our job is to maximise the outcome whilst minimising the costs and time delays.

Whether you have a site and are looking for a complete building solution, or just want a great purpose-built home with a minimum of stress and expense, KEY2 can get you there.

Don’t let finance put the brakes on your new home build. KEY2, via our finance partners will provide you with a customised finance solution that works for you and your KEY2 project.

The finance process is simple. An experienced staff member will be involved with your project from inception to completion – every step of the way. Our finance partners can secure low bank rate funding, with deferred payment options during construction. That way, you can manage your existing mortgage or rental payments and eliminate potential cash flow issues.

John LincolnGeneral ManagerNewBuild Home Finance Limited

Esther and I met with KEY2 through an ad and before we knew it, we were already one step closer to building our first home. They were very helpful and always willing to go that extra mile to answer any questions we had. They understood our needs fairly early in the process which saved us a lot of time as we were due to go overseas to get married.

KEY2 streamlined the entire experience, from selecting a section all the way through to going unconditional on the land and finalising the design and build contract just before we left the country. We knew we were in good hands being away, and coming back to NZ everything was in order.

Ruskin DantraNew Home OwnerAuckland

We are first time home builders and chose to go with KEY2. Initial contact was made after viewing some of their house & land packages they offered on the Internet.

We met at the KEY2 offices and our consultant was very up front about the processes involved and the reality of what was involved in us realizing our plans. After a two and a half hour brain storming session, both my partner & I felt confident we could achieve our dream of building our first new home. We were guided through the purchase of our section. It was important to us that the team we assembled to build our home was one we could trust and we were comfortable that we had made the right choice. All in all, the entire building process was a lot less stressful than we had anticipated and we were kept informed throughout all construction stages.

We first met with KEY2 in September 2010 and moved into our dream home in April 2011. We thoroughly love it; it’s all we thought it would be and more... It was built on time, on budget with a high quality finish. If you’re building a new home we highly recommend this great team. A job well done!

Our recommended finance partners can create a custom

finance package that works for you. You are assigned to one of

their experienced team, who will be there to offer you the benefit

of their support and guidance from the very start. By offering low bank rate finance and the

chance to defer payments until your home is complete, you

can ensure financial protection throughout your project.

We introduce you to one of our talented designers that you will work with to create

a plan that complements your site and matches your

requirements. You can have as much or as little input as you want in this process: use one

of our existing designs as a starting point or bring us your

own vision to work on.

Now it’s getting exciting!

We have access to a huge selection of sites and know the precise details of each one.

If you don’t see just the right thing, don’t worry. We’ll find it for you, or you can show us a section that has caught your eye elsewhere. Either way, we’ll happily work through all the necessary research with you.

Once you’ve found your dream site then it’s time to make an offer. Usually this is a conditional offer, subject to a

period of due diligence, during which we finalise the necessary checks

and research on the land. With the conditional offer accepted, you have secured the section typically without

laying down any money.

As New Zealand’s house and land specialists, KEY2 will source you the prime site and secure you the best FIXED PRICE build contract. Because we are not tied to a single building firm or land vendor, we will always be able to create a package that offers the perfect solution for you.

Once you have decided to let us meet your new build needs, you will be fully supported throughout the following process:

THE KEY2 ROADMAP

Each of our trusted building partners has a long history of producing work of the highest standard and offers a comprehensive 10-year Master Builders guarantee. Depending on the location of your build, the timing, size and overall complexity of your project, we would look to introduce you to the builder we believe best fit your needs.

The builder will then complete a fixed price solution that includes:

Site works, architect fees and all council consent fees

Driveways, patios and decks

The entire house including your designer kitchen

Carpets, tiles, double glazing and everything else besides.

There are no hidden extras.

Everything is now in place and you are ready to begin making

your dream home a reality. With the comprehensive information

we have provided about every aspect of your project, you can be

comfortable that you can build the home you’ve always wanted

within the budget you wish to spend. You now make the final

step with confidence, declaring the land unconditional and

finalising the building contract. We assign you to an experienced

project manager who will be available and happy to answer any

queries you may have from this point on. For your peace of mind,

you are also provided with regular updates as the work progresses
