Cavalier Homes Bay Of Plenty’s design approach is to think about how people live day-to-day and then incorporate a range of features into a home which meet these lifestyle choices.

The company recognizes people live differently today and no longer need to have a series of rooms that are cut off from each other.

“There has been a huge shift to open plan living in recent years as people’s lifestyles have changed and become much busier,” said Cavalier Homes Bay Of Plenty Director,
Aaron Thomas.

“But we also realise it is important to have separate living zones which allow for people to have space to do their own thing. In many Cavalier designs, the secondary bedrooms and additional bathroom are located in a separate wing of the home which also relates to the communal living areas.

“These zones are not rigid spaces but rather have an easy flow throughout.

“Sometimes offering people less actually gives them a lot more, by removing unnecessary walls we can create a spacious easy living home. A dwarf wall around the dining room creates a separation of spaces but delivers a more open feeling than if the wall was full height to the ceiling.

“This flow between living zones extends to the outdoors which is ideally suited to the New Zealand lifestyle,” Aaron said.

“Externally, we think about facades and finishes which create a timelessness and very strong street presence.

“We even look at how, with clever design, it is possible to meet legislative building requirements while still creating a stylish new home.

“A front porch with the roof over and a massive rear covered terrace can be integral to a home’s design providing year round outdoor living options while being energy efficiency.

“The Cavalier range of award winning homes includes first home buyer designs right through to luxury two storey houses.

Aaron Thomas and his team has joined with other leading established builders all over Australasia to be part of the Cavalier Homes franchise team. They continue to offer the service, expertise and commitment of a local builder but with the backing, systems, marketing support and buying power of a major national construction company.

This means Cavalier clients receive the best of both worlds.

Clients in Tauranga …. and numerous towns and cities in New Zealand, are experiencing the benefits of dealing with a local independent builder who is directly responsible for the construction of their client’s home.

One of the keys to success has been the particular focus placed on putting the client at the centre of everything the company and franchisees do. If mistakes occur, there are systems in place to rectify any problems.

In many cases the franchisee builders have been active in their local market for several generations and know their personal reputations are founded on servicing the needs of new home buyers in their own “backyard”.

This also means there are long established relationships with the areas’ best trades-people helping Cavalier franchises deliver the highest standard of finishes.
