Santiago Crescent, Unsworth Heights

609m2 Mixed Housing Suburban zone property presented an exceptional development opportunity.

With land already purchased and settlement date imminent, owner leapt into action, contacted their friend, who just so happened to be a BCG Property Development Consultant, for their advice in understanding subdivision and build options. Making known his thoughts, the owner told us he was looking at something along the lines of 4 standalone homes or 2 duplex or as many terrace houses, ideally with 3-plus bedrooms for each.

Having that information and the fact that the owner was specifically looking to secure a full service one-stop design and build company to handle the entire development process meant he relied heavily on BCG GROUP to provide the right information and to fulfill expectations. BCG ARCHITECTURE ran a Feasibility Study to gauge the project’s potential success, determine the number and type of homes best fit the property, and to allay any doubt.

Over the next couple of months BCG GROUP spearheaded the project – worked with planners, engineers and consultants, developed architectural designs, prepared documentation for submission to Council, planned & programmed BCG CONSTRUCTION schedules and put together pricing contract to start the project – all the while keeping property owner in loop throughout each stage.

In 1988 there was a 113m2 house on a 609m2 property. Today there are 4 stylish duplex homes architecturally designed to maximise land and floor area, consisting of a selection of 3 or 4 bedrooms – Lots 1 & 4 (3 bed design + study), Lots 2 & 3 (4 bed design), appointed bathrooms with underfloor heating, fully insulated north-facing internal garage fitted with specialised plug for future installation of an EV car charger (could capitalise on garage space as extra living, playroom or home gym). Low maintenance and fuss free living at its best.

Subdivision development completed using quality fixture and fittings throughout. Materials booked and stocked in advance, assurance the project would be delivered on time with a 10 Year Master Builder Guarantee for peace of mind.

Materials: COLORSTEEL roofing, James Hardie & JSC cladding, Pink Batts & Knauf insulation, aluminium joinery, Resene & Dulux.

New Windsor Road, New Windsor

Sitting back from the roadside is this New Windsor residential property originally built in 1966 with 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and 1 parking space. Section 809m2, floor 124m2.

The time had come for a significant change to the property, specifically, subdivide and build two new homes as well as minor refinements to the existing home.

The Tham family had very high expectations and were determined to secure a highly regarded builder that they could place their trust in to construct the two new builds from plans that had been drafted by another architectural firm, with input from independent kitchen, bathroom & ensuite designer Kate Scott, Stick + Stones Design.

The section itself needed to be subdivided into 3 Lots – front (Lot 1), middle (Lot 2), rear (Lot 3). Noted, Lot 2 had an existing home that required renovation work (minor refinement), Lots 1 & 3 new home builds. Plans for Lot 3 had been approved, Lot 1 pending Council approval.

Turning to BCG CONSTRUCTION, the Tham family dream was about to become a reality.

In keeping our commitment to the construction programme, scheduled works kicked into full swing. Marking out the 3 Lots, building the retaining wall, connection to public & private drainage, driveway and foundation works supported the site taking shape. Not long following, the structure of the two new home builds began as did the minor improvements to Lot 2. There was a slight interruption with Auckland going into Covid lockdown and material shortages nationwide but that didn’t stop BCG CONSTRUCTION team – within a year all three homes from exterior to interior were completed on time and on budget.

As a result, we can say the family is very happy indeed. A renovated home plus two new builds present the family a new lease of life, room to grow and hope for future family generations to come.

Wilding Avenue, Northcote Point

Rare find in sought after location.

Sometimes opportunities only come up once in your life… undeniably true for this family. This exceptional piece of land covering more than 800m2 was a rare find in this sought after location. Close to amenities, shops, transport, schools and proximity to Auckland City. All it needed was for the family to uncover the potential of this special piece of paradise.

The existing site had an in-ground swimming pool, above-ground spa pool positioned in the middle of overgrown & unkempt gardens. Now that piece of land has undergone a significant transformation.

Ali and Ellie came to BCG GROUP with a residential two storey house design already done. The design did not really match their requirements so they asked the design team to come up with a better solution. Ultimately BCG ARCHITECTURE completely redesigned the entire house to meet client requirements and addressed the site limitations a lot better than the initial design.

The site was very challenging in terms of site shape, location and contours. This challenge has been well met with the addition of a lower level separate accommodation unit, garaging and lower level outdoor areas. The site was a former subdivision of a bigger lot and there was an existing swimming pool and landscape that was extremely overgrown that had to be cleared away and made ready for the new construction.

The design was undertaken knowing that we had to achieve, double garaging, 5 bedrooms, adequate livings spaces and the additional dwelling at the lower level. This became a concerted effort on the parts of the design and construction team to achieve a great design solution and be able to fit within the client’s modest budget. The design also had to ensure that we did not need a resource consent. Issues around HIRTB and coverage became very important design milestones.

The location of the living spaces to take advantage of the upper storey views was immensely important to the client. The location of the living spaces and kitchen ultimately made the house really work for the family.

A large main deck from the family room was part of the original brief and this was easily achieved out from of the upper level and surrounded by a clear glass cantilevered balustrade did not limit the views nor safety of the family.

The site access was a real challenge to the design as this came from a very narrow existing accessway on toa small corner of the site. Therefore access for vehicles and also pedestrians was vitally important to get right for the comfort of the family. The design solution and intricate driveway design has made it possible for vehicles and pedestrians to have a safe and comfortable journey on to the site and into the house.

The structural engineer had a significant impact on the design as this required a lot of retaining and floor level changes to ensure that we complied with HIRTB as well as ensuring the efficient use of the land and contours.

The final result has been a wonderful blend of good design, construction supervision and a willingness from the clients to particulate fully in the entire process. This project become a real team effort across all areas of consultant and contractor involvement. From conception of the design to the completion of the build BCG are proud to have been part of this design and build project.

On time and on budget in all facets of the programme were significant factors in the timely completion of the project.
