What type of projects do you build?
At Glencoe we build high quality new house,
extensive alterations and additions, and light
commercial construction. While we offer a design and
build process we will also quote on your plans provided
by your own architect or architectural designer.
How does the design process work?
We like to meet with you and discuss your
requirements. This meeting can either be in your own
environment or at our office. From this meeting we will
draw up a sketch plan based on your wishes and
incorporating aspects that will best suit your site.
From this sketch plan we will suggest finishes &
budgets. You will then have the opportunity to review
this sketch and make changes if required.
How much will my house/project cost?
The cost of your completed project depends on a
number of factors: These include style of house, choice
of materials, site conditions etc. We can give you an
estimated square metre rate on different styles of
homes.
What is the time frame to build?
Once again the time frame is influenced by many
factors, these include style and size of you project and
weather conditions. Regular site meeting will keep you
updated with progress.
Where do you build?
We build in the Rotorua, Whakatane, Taupo and South
Waikato areas.
What is the time frame for Building Consents?
The working drawings and building consent process is
now a lot more involved and this process now takes
longer to complete. A building consent can take up to a
month to be processed and if a resource consent is
required this will take longer. We will apply for these
consents on your behalf.
What do I do about interior design, kitchen design
and selection of products?
Glencoe offer a personal service. We realize that
building is one of the largest investments that most
people are likely to make and our service includes
visits to interior designers, kitchen manufacturers and
we will assist in the selection of plumbing fittings
etc.
Do you have standard plans?
No, at Glencoe we believe every client has different
needs, all sections are different and we prefer to
design a home that is based on your requirements and the
best fit to the site taking into consideration the
position of the sun, views so that good indoor / outdoor
living is achieved. We do have examples of plans that we
have built before to give you some ideas.
Is there a guarantee?
All residential projects be it new house or
alterations and additions come with a 7 year Master
Build guarantee.
What do we have to do?
We will run the whole process for you and work with
you to ensure that you have time to finalise your
selections for colours, kitchen design etc. |
Individual homes designed and built to reflect your
lifestyle.
