How We Ensure Our Building Materials are Top Quality
It’s no secret that when you build a home with Gubb Design, we’re with you through the whole process. This means that when it comes time for your builders to arrive with materials for your home’s exterior, we’ve checked every detail once, twice, and again to ensure that your new house design will be built with the best quality materials to last you for decades.
But just how does Gubb Design work to ensure such quality is maintained? It’s a top priority for us, of course, and so there are a few tricks we’ve learnt over the years. We’re all too familiar with the disasters that can happen when buildings aren’t quite up to scratch, and it’s important that we have these measures in place to prevent any mishaps.
Building trust with suppliers
When we design your home, we don’t just give you the plans and leave you on your own. It’s so important for architects of any quality home build to have a close relationship with the other people involved in the build. We’ve been in the industry long enough to establish trusted relationships with a range of suppliers, carefully forming our own opinions that we can then share with you.
We know our suppliers have years of experience, and we know that their materials are safe and structurally sound. We’ve gone through all the effort to vet these suppliers, so that when it comes time for you to pick where to buy materials for your home build, all the hard work has been done for you.
Meeting safety regulations
Building regulations in New Zealand are constantly being updated to ensure that the standard home is as safe and secure as possible. It’s our responsibility to ensure that your house architecture complies with these regulations to the highest possible standard. As both licensed architects and building practitioners, we have a well-rounded level of safety compliance drilled into our very being, and an ongoing goal to stay at the forefront of the safety game by continuously educating ourselves on the topic.
Planning each build meticulously
When it comes down to each individual build, we understand safety may mean different things for every project. During the house design planning process, we make sure that there is no stone left unturned when it comes to safety. We can achieve this by carrying out things like feasibility or bulk & location studies to assess the ground you want to build on. This can ensure that anything we erect on your specific terrain will be in tune with the surroundings. During the design process, we use all the knowledge we gather from your site to plan out a unique project that we know will work perfectly for you.
Constantly communicating quality
We can spend hours doing all this work in the background, but from experience, we’ve learned that the most important thing is how we communicate to you, the client, about the importance of quality. After all, you’re the one who will have the build long-term, and be living with it 20 years down the track, when the difference between quality and average materials will really start to show.
Putting the effort in right from the get-go will save you thousands of dollars on long-term maintenance and could even save you from disastrous accidents down the track. Listen to your architects when they talk to you about quality, because we’ve been through enough of these projects to not be fooling around when it comes to safety and longevity.
