Good projects and better people.

It was great catching up with Nicole, Jerm, and the family and seeing their house so close to completion after a lot of work to make it happen.

Special to bring my own crew along for the visit.

Excellent craftsmanship from Stu Heap’s local team bringing it all together.

Days like this make it easy to appreciate why they chose this spot.

Back into the swing of things after the holiday break ✨
Somehow “time off” included a bedroom floor replacement, a quick paint job, lots of pizza, and ticking off the kids’ holiday wish list.

Now it’s back to routine and getting stuck into the year ahead 💪

Taking shape! This small build is designed to make the most of every square metre — thoughtful spaces that work hard and feel good to live in. Every wall, window, and connection has been carefully planned to make the entire home functional and efficient.

My wife took one of the smallest members of the Alan Stringer Architect team to check out the demolition progress (read: digger) at Renovating the GREAT DANE this morning. It’s fair to say he was thrilled.

When construction throws a curveball, clear thinking and quick sketching can save the day. A well-drawn detail can cut through confusion, keep things moving on-site, and—bonus—it doesn’t hurt when it looks this good.

🤔 Alan, Dylan and Matt from Chambers Building Ltd busy brainstorming the finer details for the structural design so Alan from Alan Stringer Architect can finish off the drawings and specifications for the building consent application.

🚙 We are turning this very small double garage with no ability to have a garage door installed due to height, into a triple garage……

👏 Watch this space!
