Not every building challenge comes with a textbook solution, sometimes the textbook would take one look at an old villa and quietly leave the room..

When you're working on Dunedin's character homes, sometimes the job calls for a bit of creativity alongside the tools.

Our foreman Lyndon has been putting his problem solving skills to work on this old villa renovation, finding practical solutions to keep the project moving while respecting the quirks that come with these beautiful old homes. On some days he's a foreman; on others he's part builder, part detective, and part negotiator with timber that was installed before sliced bread was invented.

It's one of the things we love most about renovation work, every house tells a story, and no two days are quite the same. Usually because the house has come up with a brand new surprise overnight! 🏠🔨

Somebody has to do it..

While the rest of us are stuck inside, Craig has drawn the short straw and spent another day working in the sunshine at Settlers Grove, Long Beach.. tough gig mate.

With views like this and weather putting on a show, it’s easy to see why we’re so passionate about helping bring the coastal dream to life. Thankfully Craig is spending less time admiring the scenery and more time getting the job done. 🔨

🏡🌊 A huge milestone for Settlers Grove — our very first home is officially starting to look like a house. Seeing the vision come to life on site is pretty special for the whole team.

One thing you’ll notice straight away is the raised foundation design. These homes are being built for long term coastal resilience and future focused living, while still capturing everything people love about life by the beach.

We’re proud to be building the coastal dream right here in Long Beach.

Another step forward on this 1910’s dream renovation.

There’s something pretty satisfying about seeing fresh gib arrive on site - especially in a home with this much character and history behind it. Bringing these old homes back to life properly takes time, patience and a crew that cares about the details.

Big thanks to our partners at Fairfield Transport for getting the delivery safely on site with the crane truck - makes a massive difference on jobs like these. 🔨

This 1940s gem underwent one of the most extensive transformations we have ever produced. Stripped back to a bare skeleton, this was no small one-room renovation. Combined with a challenging section, tonnes of clay to remove by hand and a comprehensive demolition and reconfiguration, this has gone from stifled 70s to magazine cover worthy.
