A full structural and aesthetic renovation of a 1970s home into a contemporary four-bedroom residence. The project involved staged demolition, seismic strengthening, and a complete envelope upgrade to current H1 standards.
The builder inherited a fixed-price contract with incomplete scope documentation. NZ Builders resource templates were used to re-baseline variations, and Buildertrend kept the architect and client aligned on selections deadlines.
Weather delays during roof removal cost two weeks. Daily MetService logs and prompt client notifications secured a programme extension without margin erosion.
Results
- Delivered 3 weeks ahead of revised completion date
- Zero defects at 12-month warranty inspection
- Client referral generated two subsequent projects
- Documented variation process saved an estimated $48k in disputed scope
