As with choosing an architect, it’s essential to
select a builder you can trust. It is also reassuring
to know that your guaranteed outcome is one of
quality and peace of mind.
That’s why the owners of this dramatic home
took the recommendation of their architectural
designer, to entrust Fowler Homes Auckland
South and managing director Bret Robinson, a
Registered Master Builder and Licensed Build-
ing Practitioner, to look after the build.
Located in Flat Bush, Auckland, this 550m 2
home extends over three levels and showcases
100m 2 of tiled decks with spectacular views.
The home offers solid, plastered concrete
block construction, a designer kitchen, and an
asphalt shingle roof. Features include a central
9m-tall honed block wall, floating cantilevered
stairs, and stone-clad concrete columns.
Drawing on his 38 years’ building experience,
Robinson says: “This was a steep sloping site
that had specific geotechnical requirements,
including 6m-deep piles under the basement
retaining walls, supporting three levels of con-
crete block walls and solid concrete mid-floors.
“However, despite the build’s complexity,
the home became a reality within the agreed
18-month timeframe.
“While our core business is design and
build, we are often asked to undertake complex
builds that other companies will not take on.
This includes building for clients with their own
plans, as with this dramatic residence.”
Owners Vik and Josephine say, “’Your style
of living... Your style of builder...’ certainly goes
with Fowler Homes Auckland South . . . as they
made the whole process of building our home
such an easy and memorable experience.
“We found Bret and the team to be extremely
professional and always willing to listen to us
and meet our requirements in a timely manner.”
