We lovingly restored and renovated this homestead over a period of nine months.
The owners approached us to evaluate their earthquake insurance settlement offer. Their beautiful property required extensive repairs.
We ended up doing a full interior and exterior renovation, and an extension with a new outdoor room.
We undertook a comprehensive repair scoping and pricing process, including a full re-levelling of the house and chimney reconstruction designed by an engineer, and detailed pricing using a quantity surveyor.
We worked closely with the owner’s insurance broker to have our costs and methodology approved by their insurer.
The repair costs and methodology were subsequently approved by their insurer and our client was cash settled. The owners received a 25% increase on their settlement offer from their insurer as a result of this process.
The extent of the repair work completed was also able to be significantly more extensive than the insurer had proposed, resulting in a complete re-roof and re-levelling of the foundation, instead of the limited repair initially proposed.
We constructed replicas of the original chimneys under the guidance of an engineer’s design, that were in keeping with the beauty of the house, while being lightweight and able to withstand movement over time.
We also did a complete house re-roof with new timber and corrugated iron.
Interior works included a new ensuite, tiling, new windows and French doors as well as full interior refurbishment.
Our client’s beautiful farm can now be admired all year round in the new outdoor room, which we built as an extension to the original homestead. The room has a corrugated iron roof with skylights, decorative ply ceiling and cedar gable.
The stone fireplace with Warmington fire is a beautiful centrepiece for the room. The large kwila decking boards extend from the outdoor room onto a new back verandah. The outdoor room has been added seamlessly, in keeping with the existing features of the house.
The end result is simply stunning.
