Transforming an underutilised outdoor area into a space that truly works for the family is something we take real pride in. Even more rewarding when the backdrop is as striking as this one in Queenstown.

Proud to see this deck extension come to life; expertly constructed by Southern Fencing & Decking.

New year, new rules!
Fiordland Homes' 1-3 bedroom solutions comply with the 'Granny Flat' rule kicking in Jan 15th. To date they have been consented which is also a great option to consider

We designed this home 15 years ago and have enjoyed the opportunity to develop the extended outdoor area after our clients were able to purchase part of the neighbouring lot.
Middleton Construction have kept the project on track so that it is ready to be enjoyed over summer.

A recently completed home set into the Bendigo landscape is full of the clients personality. Beautifully finished inside and out with LMA timber including the very special secret door.
Thanks to Matt for the photos

My advice to clients is to always choose a builder that they trust, so it was excellent to see that RDR Builders Limited were recognised at last nights House of the Year Awards with Regional Supreme winner, Regional Category Winner and Regional Gold for this home. Well deserved recognition for Reece and his team.
