From demo to new finished build. Watch to see how we turn this site into a brand new classic kiwi brick house. If you like this kind of content please consider subscribing!
Great job, questions regarding Kiwi builds. I’ve seen several drive peers in the prepared soil prior to pouring the concrete pad, what is the purpose? Why not deep footings?
Hi Josh.. can I ask you something? So, I want to build the second floor of my house.. the first floor made out of brick ..is it possible to build the second floor out of wooden material?
Hey, would you be able to do a video on pros and cons of concrete slab foundations? I can't seem to get over the fact that plumbing is built into the slab so would be a nightmare to redesign or repair if you had any issues.
Guessing they disconnected all water, gas, electric etc before tearing it up. Where do they do that? Underground? near the street? Can’t believe how quick and easy that was to knock down!😳😳😳😳😳
Hey Logan, currently got lots of new builds on but we have Reno experience in the team. Most of these builds are for clients that we have found and guided thought the design & consent process
Not sure why some people are fixed on brick n tile. Yes my Nan would love this style, but when brick is placed well you can have a nice looking home. And pressed steel concrete lookalike tiles? I find them hard to walk on, if you stand on the back edge they bend, often causing a puddle, and in my opinion don't look as nice as corrugated or standing seam steel roof. Also more time consuming to install.
I agree but from a builders perspective the one thing i do like about metal tile is that i don't have to get up there and do the purlins as the roofers do their own haha
It's really interesting to watch the whole building process in this video. That's awesome!😀👍👍
Enjoy :)

Has your company ever built with CEBs (Compressed Earth Blocks) before?

Hey I've got some slab videos up already

Why do you use wooden poles for the foundation? Wouldn’t these wooden poles decay in time compared to concrete poles?
Is it normal in the Hutt to pile and raft the floor? Is the bearing that bad?
yeah those piles went down deep. Soil bearing musta been very poor unless the extra dead load of brickwork had something to do with it?
All of Lower Hutt has bad ground, so all houses in the Hutt need to have very deep friction piles.
yea most of the hutt used to be a swamp
Is fiber collection provided in new homes in New Zealand?
Why was there water under it? Is that one reason it had to be taken down and replaced?
Hi Josh do you ever do Renos? Are all these houses for clients or do you contract to someone?
Hey Logan, currently got lots of new builds on but we have Reno experience in the team. Most of these builds are for clients that we have found and guided thought the design & consent process
Could you please tell me about the brick size, is that 1.5 or double size?

Total house cost to build please?
How long does it take to build a house in New Zealand?
