Having been in the building industry across the board for 25 years plus as an Architectural Designer, starting out in the true kiwi manner of DYI practicing on my own homes in the early 1980's where I gained my hands on experience in design,build, quantity survey, through to the interior decoration.
This led me to question the way things were done in the industry, get involved with developing homes for the elderly in Oxford, North Canterbury, my focus well on energy efficient building, I became involved in the invention of the Cornerstone Building system through to a Licenced Building system currently operating in most areas of NZ.
Sustainability in general has always been a priority living in the country & this passion flows through into the building process.
By developing a building system with a very high insulation value and high in bracing against earthquake and wind at the same or less than the cost of the standard construction 4 x 2, offers homeowners a warm healthy home which gives them the comfort without the high energy costs and the comfort of knowing their family will be safe in adverse weather conditions.
