Love where you live As our town boundary sign states, life just gets better, and the Ashburton District statistics showing growth and prosperity certainly paints a picture of a desirable lifestyle.

With a higher than average growth in GDP, living in a prosperous rural town is becoming an attractive option to people in many other districts, to cash in on some of our agricultural wealth, and to live a greener lifestyle in comparison with living in a city.

More than 2000 new residents have arrived in Ashburton over the past two years. The current population growth makes Ashburton District one of the fastest growing rural districts in the country.

It is projected that the population of the district will continue to grow to a total of 36,600 by 2037, and all of these new residents will require housing.

The demand for housing is already exceeding supply, and people living the Mid Canterbury lifestyle have shown that they like to own their own home, with a higher than average percentage of homes owned by the occupants, compared with the national average.

With an increasing shortage of dwellings in the neighbouring city and surrounds of Christchurch, many are viewing Ashburton as a safer living alternative, due to the fact that our district hasn’t experienced the earthquakes to the same degree of strength as in Christchurch.

Commuting between Ashburton and Christchurch daily for work is becoming increasingly popular, and our district

is rapidly expanding to cope with increased demand for lifestyle housing.

Building your own home is one of the fastest ways to climb the property ladder and enter into the exciting world of property development and investment, and with so many quality subdivisions currently under development, now is the perfect time to make a move toward your dream lifestyle.

The subdivisions illustrated within this magazine demonstrate the property owning opportunities available to suit every buyer in the real estate market, from first home owners, to baby boomers, lifestyle developments and excellent retirement options.

The favoured trend within Ashburton is to enter into a development that is no longer just a plot of land, but is a new community with lifestyle

enhancements, such as beautiful water features, green meadows, recreational facilities and communal gathering areas.

With the picturesque panorama of the Southern Alps in the background, developers are making the most of incorporating a picture perfect backdrop into new subdivisions.

Life is all about lifestyle, and the developments currently under construction and gaining consents demonstrate the desire to enjoy a lifestyle at home.

With the current construction of stage eight, the rapid growth of the Lake Hood lifestyle development illustrates this desire to play where you live and live where you play.

Come home to your ideal lifestyle, right here in Mid Canterbury.

Lake Hood

Lake Hood an opportunity for unique resort lifestyle

Mid-Canterbury’s premier development, Lake Hood offers affordable lakeside living and an unbeatable lifestyle.

Just a few minutes from the centre of Ashburton, the fastgrowing community provides an incredible range of amenities established around a unique aquatic playground.

The 173-hectare park, created by the local community as a combined recreational and residential development, provides residents with an unparalleled choice of living options.

The centrepiece of the development is the lake – 2300 metres in length and over a kilometre wide, the lake includes an eight-lane international rowing course, canals, a dedicated water-skiing area and jet skiing area, as well as space for sailing and kayaking – all of which can be enjoyed on the lake year round.

The unique design of the Europeaninspired community maximises waterfront space, with curving shores, canals and peninsula areas eventually providing over seven kilometres of lake frontage. The waterfront sections are extremely popular, with the latest release of 22 sections in Stage 8 already attracting strong interest.

These sections include access to a dedicated boat ramp area, as well as the option to build a private jetty at the end of each property – a popular feature throughout the community.

“There are a lot of reserve areas around the lake and with the water frontage your section seems larger. It’s a totally peaceful and relaxing place to live,” Myles said.

“The lifestyle we have here now is amazing. The boys spend a lot of summer in the water, kayaking, swimming, playing with their friends.”

With grown up children and eight grandchildren, John and his wife receive a lot of visitors and say that Lake Hood is the perfect place to entertain, with their relatives able to enjoy everything from fishing to rowing regattas, to water skiing or trips out on to the lake in John’s laser sailing dinghy.

Residents, Myles and Keryn O’Donnell, say the opportunity to purchase a home at Lake Hood was a dream come true.

The community also provides plenty of recreational opportunities for young families off the water as well, with tennis and basketball courts, as well as extensive picnic areas, recreational reserves, and trails for mountain-biking and horse trekking.

Retiring to Lake Hood after farming, the wide-open spaces and extensive views provided by Lake Hood appealed to John Davies and his wife. The couple were also drawn to the lake front lifestyle – and in particular, the chance to build their own private jetty.

“We have always liked living near the water and loved the idea of having our own little jetty at the end of the lawn. We even built the jetty before we built the house.”

There’s also the popular Lake House restaurant within walking distance. The restaurant is one of Canterbury’s best kept

secrets, offering dining either indoors or outdoors near the shores of the lake, and meals made from fresh, locally sourced produce.

With sections starting from just $165,000, Lake Hood’s pricing makes it affordable for families, meaning the resident population and community is growing steadily.

To meet demand, new stages of lakeside, canal side and parkland developments have been released. As well as the 22 peninsula waterfront properties, each with their own unique direct connection to the lake, six lifestyle blocks in Stage 7 provide the opportunity to enjoy a semirural lifestyle, with all of the community attractions close-by.

The final plans for the development will see extensive new development available for living, recreation and relaxation. The lake itself will be almost doubled in size, to extend over an area equivalent to Christchurch’s Hagley Park, with beaches, canals and islands, walking and riding trails, and public promenades.

Lochlea Lifestyle Resort & Subdivision

that you can call home

Construction is underway at the Lochlea Lifestyle Resort, which is a separate entity from the subdivision.

The lifestyle resort will provide a range of options to those looking to their retirement plans, with a range of exciting living opportunities.

The indoor and outdoor entertainment and fitness facilities will make living at Lochlea Lifestyle Resort a pleasure, and will include duplex and stand-alone living options for those wanting to retain independence and down-size from their current home.

Initially eight to ten villas will be constructed in the resort complex, with the view of having up to 107 villas making up the village, with residents having full access to the resort amenities. The first three bedroom villa is already under construction.

Central to the resort will be a faculty centre, featuring conference and meeting facilities, leisure activities, a saltwater and a bromide pool for healing and relaxation and many other benefits such as a hairdresser and beautician. Only residents of the resort will have access to the faculty building. Construction on this facility has already begun, and at a later date a bus service will be provided for residents of the resort to go into town.

A 60 bed hospital will be constructed to make life easy for those who require more care, with registered

nurses and caregivers only the push of a button away.

This is anticipated to be complete within five or six years. Adjacent to the hospital will be aged care units, where residents can retain some independence but relax knowing that registered nurse care is close at hand when required.

The resort will be a gated community, to provide a safe and secure environment for residents.

Take the worry out of your every-day life and replace it with comfort, fun, independence, convenience and a friendly community, in a place you’ll call home. The Lochlea Lifestyle Resort will provide security and entertainment, making living comfortable for every stage of your retirement years.

Braebrook

Subdivisions available now in Ashburton

Make it your home Braebrook is a superb residential subdivision that offers the very best of town living, situated at the site of a former apple orchard, retaining a small number of the original apple trees around the subdivision.

Spend a day fly-fishing on the Ashburton or Rakaia rivers, hit the ski slopes of Mount Hutt after just an hours drive, or travel 45 minutes to Christchurch to take in a show or get to the big game. With the relaxed atmosphere and peace and quiet of a small town /rural environment, but so close to shopping, recreational activities, and the attractions of a big city, Braebrook truly offers the best of both worlds.

Braebrook offers nearly a hectare of parklands and reserves, including a superb children’s playground, and features a number of stunning waterways, carefully redeveloped from those that have flowed through the property since the 1880’s. As a total system, the repurposed waterways add greatly to Braebrook’s special character.

Located just four minutes drive from the Ashburton town centre, Braebrook is nearby to shopping and dining options.

Despite its close proximity to the town, Braebrook’s location and expansive plan give it a rural feeling, and there are no city noises, trucks, or trains.

The subdivision is being developed in four stages, with stage one now sold and stage two currently selling fast. A number of houses are already occupied, with even more houses in various stages of construction, and further sections starting in on the development process. Things are moving along! Little wonder then that Braebrook is the most successful subdivision in the Ashburton area, having the greatest number of land sales in the area over the past year.

Left - The Braebrook development has carefully reshaped, landscaped, and contoured the existing waterways to stunning effect, creating gentle curves, generous banks, and areas of native plantings and trees, with walkways, bridges and platforms placed to complement and make the most of these natural attractions.

Curving, tree-lined streets are specially designed to provide easy access and traffic flow, while the street furniture and cobbling used along paths and roadways add aesthetic appeal with touch of class to the community.

All available lots in Braebrook are freehold titled, generously sized, and practically shaped, giving you a wide option when it comes to the design and construction of your new home.

Braebrook has a land title covenant in place guiding such matters as house design and landscaping that is designed to protect the special character of the subdivision and allow you to enjoy your own home and area and appreciate your neighbours.

The roading network running through Braebrook has been designed to provide aesthetic appeal in addition to easy, flowing movement about, into, and out of the subdivision.

Story continues on page 10.

Right - A large pond is continuously replenished by Braebrook’s waterways and has become an attraction for local birds.

Braebrook

Planning has utilised the finest aspects of urban design to create sweeping curves, large verges, and careful detailing in cobblestones and paving.

High quality street furniture has been used, and carefully strategic tree plantings have been made to enhance the visual appeal of roads and pathways. By policy, fencing has been deliberately set back from roads and helps to create an open feel throughout the subdivision.

Subdivisions available now in Ashburton

The large reserve at the entrance to the subdivision is fully landscaped, providing trees and shade, native shrubs and plantings, large, well manicured lawn areas, and a well-equipped children’s playground. A relaxing and accessible multi-use space, it’s an ideal place to relax for a while or spend some family time on a sunny day, and is a key part of Braebrook’s special appeal.

Old trees from the area’s orcharding past

have been preserved where possible, and mature trees throughout the subdivision provide a sense of maturity and history to the land. The older trees are sprinkled among brand new plantings and landscaping designed especially for the area, with native plant plots and new trees bringing natural appeal to the subdivisions paths and streets. Large verges and well maintained and grassy reserve areas complete the park-like feeling of the subdivision.

As soon as you arrive at Braebrook yourself, you’ll immediately see what it has to offer, and will understand that it is a special place – and one you could make your own home. Stage one is almost completely sold already, and stage two sections are vanishing quickly, so it will pay to act fast!

Come down and see everything that Braebrook has to offer for yourself – you won’t be disappointed.

Left - Within the borders of this carefully planned and executed 20 hectare community are reshaped waterways, detailed and landscaped reserves, and an open, expansive feel, all of which combine to form beautiful, relaxing and inviting spaces.

Right - Braebrook is perfectly positioned for residents to make the most of everything the great little town of Ashburton and the wider Canterbury region has to offer.

Kelburn Estate

Live where you play We live in an exciting district, where one day we can be skiing, the next fishing or playing a round of golf. With the glory of nature and endless opportunity on our doorstep, isn’t it time that your living reflects your desire to continue to play?

Why not invest in a piece of land, large enough to build a home of grandeur, with room to spare for a tennis court, a shed to

look after the boat and other toys out the back, a pool and outdoor entertainment area for social summer evenings with room to spare for the kids to play some backyard cricket.

Such opportunities exist, in the new development of Kelburn Estate. Located off Tarbotton’s Road in Tinwald, Kelburn Estate appeals to those looking for the appeal of a lifestyle block, but with sections averaging approx 4000 square metres, it provides the best of both worlds, space and a rural feel, yet manageable.

Each section is serviced with the town water supply and sewer connection, as well as fibre optic cable to the boundary, making the building process easier and more cost effective than traditional country dwellings.

Land owner Malcolm Tarbotton had the vision to create parcels of land that are still very much easy care, but have the feel of a rural lifestyle block.

The subdivision has been developed by Malcolm’s son Stuart, of Stuart Tarbotton Contractors Ltd.

Stuart Tarbotton Contractors began with putting in a large pump station and holding tank under the ground with a storage capacity of 30m2. The tank is approx six metres deep which took a lot of dewatering and backfilling to achieve, a large job that required concrete above and below.

Sewer lines and manholes were constructed, and all pipe work from one end to the other was checked by camera to make sure there was no ponding, and tests for water leaks passed with flying colours.

Kelburn Estate After sewer, power and fibre optic were laid, Stuart Tarbotton completed the roading, channel and kerbing in preparation for the final hot mix.

Grass swales with pipework and structures were constructed to handle stormwater requirements in line with Ecan requirements. Stuart Tarbotton Contractors back their workmanship one hundred percent.

The land is very much family inspired, as the new lane in Kelburn Estate that comes off Tarbottons Road has been named after

Malcolm’s great grandfather’s farm he left in Yorkshire in 1880 to immigrate to New Zealand.

The farm was called Syke Gate Farm, hence the Rapid Lane number 122 named Syke Gate Lane.

Kelburn Estate is an exclusive community featuring fully serviced sections with plenty of green space giving residents the room to enjoy a great indoor/ outdoor lifestyle.

All of the ground work and planning has been done and is ready for your dream home and lifestyle to begin. With all the

Tinwald and Ashburton amenities close by, convenience and necessity are close at hand.

There are two architecturally stunning houses already built by Smitheram & Frew located at Kelburn Estate, and another section is under contract.

A former show home is to arrive on site in the near future, which will add further prestige to this unique subdivision. Land convenants are in place to protect your investment, ensuring the quality of the development.

The Tinwald Golf Course is a gentle meander down the road, framed by the impressive Southern Alps, providing a lifestyle second to none. This is truely a place of beauty and solitude.

With its amazing mountain views, green country outlook and serenity, this development is becoming a popular haven for those people wishing to live as they would holiday, in a peaceful environment.

Kelburn Estate welcomes you home, where you can play where you live, live where you play.

Ashburton developers have placed their trust in Davis Ogilvie & Partners to deliver a professional, multidisciplinary approach to solving a diverse range of land development challenges, and Turton Green is no exception.

The Turton Green residential subdivision comprises 42 residential sections, all between 800m2 to 1000m2 in size.

Davis Ogilvie is proud to have provided guidance and management of the Turton Green subdivision as lead consultant, which included managing the input from landscape architects and specialist environmental scientists to complement our internal planning, civil/ geotechnical/structural engineering and surveying teams.

In order to maximise the aesthetic finish, Davis Ogilvie recommended and ran a design competition between two leading landscape architects which resulted in a considered design that opens up the adjacent Wakanui stream, into the subdivision. This strong tie between the residential lots and the stream by way of a recreation reserve, focuses on amenity, with stonework finishes on the subdivision approach and enhancement of the stream environment.

The subdivision is accessed from Turton Street and in the future will also be accessed from the extension of Hanrahan Street through the adjacent Lochlea subdivision, currently under construction.

The subdivision has its own internal roading network characterised by a through road and two local loop

roads which provide access to all lots within the subdivision. A recreation reserve provides a local amenity and ensures that the Wakanui Stream is embodied into the ambience of the subdivision. Careful consideration of the aesthetic look of the subdivision was made with stone lining of the access bridge being catered for by Davis Ogilvie’s structural team.

Completing several Regional Council consents for consideration, as well as the overall subdivision consent and engineering design approvals, the lead Davis Ogilvie team overcame several design challenges including considered storm water disposal, the provision of bridge access over the original stream, refinement and investigation into the geotechnical categorisation of the existing ground for future foundation purposes.

Careful treatment and detention of storm water was implemented to complement the existing flood characteristics of the Wakanui stream.

Road width and footpath standards adopted the enhanced provisions of the proposed district plan requirements.

With a growing staff of approximately 55, our services range from civil, structural, geotechnical and environmental engineering to resource management planning and cadastral land surveying, building set out and monitoring. Davis Ogilvie has a proven track record of integrity and reliability. The successful completion of high profile projects within its portfolio is the cornerstone of the company’s philosophy, of providing high quality land development services.

Carters Estate

Exclusive Parkland Setting

Our design philosophy for Carters Estate is to create a premium subdivision where residents have exclusive access to private parkland and associated facilities.

Lots are arranged in small clusters accessed off private lanes. Each lot fringes common parkland with the aim of giving residents the opportunity of living within a large parkland environment.

It is our aim to have the individual lots blend with the parkland rather than creating fenced or closed off lots, whilst maintaining the privacy and views of residents.

Development Design

Carters Estate consists of 25 residential lots arranged primarily in clusters of four, these clusters are accessed off Racecourse and Carters Roads via private access lanes.

Each lot is approximately 2000m2 and within has a building platform where the Registered Proprietor may develop a single residential dwelling.

In creating the parkland environment we have established a series of landscaped buffer zones.

These zones form breaks between clusters of lots, and to the road frontages, allowing for a lower built footprint over the entire subdivision.

Carters and Racecourse Road frontages are defined with macrocarpa post and rail fences, behind that is a large planting strip populated with three varieties of oaks, which will mature to create a strong boundary to the subdivision.

Entranceways to the private lanes are articulated with solid architectural concrete walls with expressed timber shuttering and heavy, dark aggregates reflecting the Canterbury tradition of exceptional concrete work.

carters | estate David Smith Surveying Ltd were involved with the cadastral survey and engineering design on this subdivision.

It was immediately apparent that this development was a new concept for Ashburton.

It is a magnificent development, very bold in its concept and will create an exceptional living choice for discerning homeowners. The attention to detail in landscaping, presentation and the overall concept is second to none. We were proud to be involved in the team that created this subdivision and wish the developers every success.

Carters Estate

Landscaping

The private lanes have gardens down each side and are planted with magnolia and tulip trees over a bed of rhododendrons. These gardens are defined with the same macrocarpa post and rail fencing as the road boundaries.

The private lanes are formed in aggregate concrete with the entrance to each individual lot defined with a rumble strip of basalt cobbles.

The defining feature of Carters Estate is the common parkland, which runs through the centre of the subdivision and weaves in between the cluster of sections. Mounding has been incorporated in the parkland to add privacy to some lots and in turn, creates a picturesque rolling golf course like park environment.

Planting within the parkland is mainly exotic tree species including oaks, elms and birch.

To the south-eastern end of the parkland is large pond, which collects stormwater from the residential lots via a system of swales. The fringe of the pond has been planted with native grasses and kowhai trees.

Parkland and Facilities

Carters Estates parkland includes a number of facilities for the private use of residents.

These include a competition sized Plexi-pave tennis court. The court is also lit for summer evening play. To the north-western end of the parkland are a couple pitch + putt golf holes, with the longest approach approximately 130m.

The attractive stormwater retention pond is framed with a macrocarpa boardwalk and jetty that meander through the grasses and kowhai trees.

At the centre of the parkland, between the tennis court and stormwater pond, is a tennis pavilion. The pavilion is designed as a focal point to the parkland, a place for residents to meet, gather and maybe catch up for a drink after a tennis match. The building has basic kitchen and bathroom facilities, and opens up with terraces facing the tennis court and overlooking the water.

A caretaker employed by the Carters Estate Residents Society maintains the facilities and common parkland.

Enjoy an exclusive parkland setting complete with a tennis court plus pavilion, board walk around a lovely landscaped water feature when you build your dream home in this prestigious subdivision on Carters Road.

Featuring sections of approx 2000m2, build your home of grandeur with a feeling of space and serenity, with the added convenience of the development features within an exclusive community.

Ashburton Business Estate

Ashburton Business Estate offers new opportunities in Canterbury The Ashburton Business Estate is a new industrial zoned development in the heart of the growing Mid Canterbury region, offering businesses flexible industrial property with affordable prices

As well as providing individually tailored land packages based on tenants’ needs, the Ashburton Business Estate is able to offer businesses the benefits of low land costs, low water charges and low rates. A key economic initiative of the Ashburton Council, the development aims to help make it easier for new businesses to establish themselves in the region – working with businesses to meet their needs and help them achieve the best possible results.

Development manager, Andrew Mason, said the development is geared towards helping businesses succeed.

“This isn’t just a property development, it’s an economic development strategy. We work very hard to make sure that residents at the business estate are well supported.

We’re able to offer some of the lowest industrial zoned land prices in the region and very low water charges and rates costs, which can be a real hidden cost for many businesses. Tenants at the Ashburton Business Estate have peace of mind, knowing they‘re getting the best deal and can put that money back into helping their business get ahead.”

The Estate has also been selected as the site of the $30 million Canterbury Agri-business Innovation Park, aimed at increasing the commercialisation and sale of agri-technology systems by grouping together a range of complementary companies and enabling synergies to boost innovation and create new pathways to export markets.

Andrew Mason says the Ashburton Business Estate also includes a range of innovations useful to businesses not found elsewhere in the region.

Despite the hurdles faced since the Estate’s development, such as the Global Financial Crisis and the Canterbury earthquakes, sales have continued, with the number of recent sales and planned developments boding well for the Estate’s future.

“Enquiry levels have picked up dramatically recently, with a number of local

developers and businesses now looking to cement their place at the Estate while there is still the pick of good sites available” said Mr Mason.

The Ashburton Business Estate also provides businesses with the flexible arrangements they need to suit their own circumstances.

“No two businesses are the same, so we don’t take a one size fits all approach when it comes to the sites – we give businesses the flexibility they need,” said Mr Mason.

“We can work to offer a range of options to suit any business, whether it’s on a design and build, or flexibility around site shape and sizing.”

With sites starting from just $174,200 and site sizes ranging from 1300m2 to 10 hectares, businesses know they will be able to afford the site they need.

Andrew Mason says the location of the development was chosen to ensure businesses have everything they need close by.

“We understand how important it is for businesses to be well connected and have easy access to their suppliers and customers, so the Ashburton Business Estate is well located for road, rail, sea, and air transport networks including the South Island main trunk rail line, State Highway 1, the Lyttelton Port and Christchurch International Airport.”

The Ashburton Business Estate represents an exciting opportunity to do business in a region that is seeing significant growth, and is well placed for the future.

Between rapid growth in the dairying and primary industries and the emergence of diverse new range of innovative businesses including, agribusiness, print and apparel manufacturing, and meat exporting, there’s never been a better time to do business in Ashburton.

“Our region is seeing some really exciting developments, and the Ashburton Business Estate is the next chapter in that story,” said Andrew Mason. “For businesses looking for low costs, high flexibility and real potential to grow, it’s the perfect location.”

Camrose Estates combines exciting lifestyle with beautiful natural surroundings Camrose Estates, a property development near Methven, in the heart of the beautiful South Island, aims to offer the perfect mix of tranquil surroundings and an active family lifestyle.

Situated near the foot of the popular Mt Hutt ski field, Camrose Estates provides a safe, relaxed community near one of Canterbury’s most exciting resort destinations.

Residents will be close to a range of attractions including ski fields, jet boating, river rafting, fishing, hot air ballooning and even skydiving.

Alongside this unique lifestyle, Camrose Estates offers a family friendly community, with a welcoming environment, good educational support and a range of business opportunities.

Camrose Estate director, Andrew Mason, says the development showcases the amazing lifestyle available in Mid Canterbury.

“We’re incredibly lucky in Mid Canterbury in that we have some of the most awe inspiring natural scenery in the world, from the Southern Alps to the Canterbury plains. The great Kiwi spirit of adventure has seen our region become a key destination for exciting activities and businesses.

With Camrose Estates, we’ve been able to combine this amazing lifestyle with a fantastic community full of everything families need to feel at home.”

Andrew Mason says the growth at Camrose Estates is part of wider growth in Methven as more people discover the appeal of the region.

“Methven is a picturesque rural town, with real appeal for people with families, or who are looking for a more relaxed lifestyle. There is such a strong sense of community here and people are close with their neighbours. It’s a great place for every

stage of life; to start a family, raise children or enjoy an active retirement.”

Camrose Estates also offers competitive pricing and sizable sections, with prices starting from just $130,000 and sections ranging in size from 644m2 to 1102m2. Strong interest has seen Stage One sections sell quickly. The first stage will see 44 homes built in the new community, with buyers being able to choose from a wide range of styles and home sizes, perfect for any lifestyle. The playground, already under initial development, is an exciting feature that already has many locals talking.

The development will eventually cover 23 hectares and feature large open spaces perfect for walking or for children to play in.

“The end result is that Camrose Estates will be a community where everything is close by, from schools to businesses, and green space to recreation,” says Andrew Mason.

“It will be a wonderful contrast to lifestyle developments near big cities, where sitting in traffic is a regular hassle of daily life. We think this will allow Camrose Estates to offer a truly unique experience.”

As Methven grows into an even more important destination for tourists and adventurers, the lifestyle options for residents of Camrose Estates will only grow.

“The MidCanterbury region is constantly developing new and exciting offerings to attract visitors, and that has seen Methven grow in popularity,” says Andrew Mason. “In the coming years we would expect this to continue, and that is part of what will make the region so appealing.

With a wonderful community and a one-of-a-kind lifestyle, Camrose Estates will be an amazing place to live.”

The complete package – from conception to completion

Synonymous with building excellence, the McIntosh name has proven itself within Mid Canterbury for more than 80 years, building iconic structures for families and businesses alike.

The well-established building and construction company has completed more than 100 new dwellings locally and throughout the South Island.

Specialising in domestic houses, McIntosh Builders place an emphasis on creating stunning homes that are surprisingly affordable. The business builds with an edge, creating houses that look unique. Owner, Alastair McIntosh, can provide the entire package, starting with design.

At 21 years old, Alastair designed and built his first home, and after growing the passion to design and build homes, has never looked back.

Alastair can work with his client’s right from the initial conception stage, and draw unique plans to ensure that the home is functional, unique and future-proofed.

Alastair now has more than 35 years of local design and build experience, with a reputation and portfolio displaying quality, iconic structures.

McIntosh Builders create a variety of domestic structures, from basic farm worker quarters and town houses, to multi-storied architecturally designed masterpieces. They also enjoy the challenge of renovations and this has created many opportunities over the years.

McIntosh Builders pride themselves on a fully inclusive design and build experience. You have the option

of having as much or as little involvement with the construction of your new home as you desire.

The ability to draw and create a plan with Alastair during the conception stage gives the client a feeling that the home is truly theirs, the satisfaction that this special and unique home has been designed just for them. The advantage to having a builder as part of the creation process is that Alastair can apply his building knowledge and experience in knowing what can be done, what is structurally sound and what will look fantastic as a finished entity.

McIntosh Builders, through this strong established background, have a reputation for excellent structures backed up by a service that’s second to none. Their success comes from a powerful work ethic, with a team of hardworking, conscientious builders, which strive for no less than the best. By offering the complete package, McIntosh Builders design, manage and construct the project, bringing great cost savings to the client.

The service is seamless and hassle-free, from the initial design proposals, project costings through to construction and code of compliance certification.

Their design and build ensures that you work with the builder to achieve a completed project, designed to your requirements, built within your timeframe and budget.

The design process is available should you require, but if you already have a set of plans, Alastair is happy to build from what you already have prepared. Or vice versa, Alastair is happy to sit down and design your dream home with you, there is no obligation for McIntosh Builders to complete the construction.

Effective project management is one of the foundations underlying every successful building project. This is why McIntosh Builders Ltd aim to use the best project management strategy possible in the Ashburton building industry to take care of their builds, their clients and their sub-trades. As a Master Builder, Licensed Building Practitioner and main contractor, they take pride in offering project management services professionally.

Their project management also includes: • An elemental timeline so you can see how long your project will take • A critical path programme for all projects • Weekly project meetings with the design consultant and client • A dedicated site foreman, who is responsible for the day-to-day running of the project • Project finances overseen and managed by our companies estimators McIntosh Builders will work hard to build a valuable relationship with you, to ensure you are up-to-date on every step of the building process, to produce an end result befitting the excellence you had envisioned.

With a team that are passionate in their work, it reflects in passionate results, as seen in the quality of their finished product.

Geoff Geering Drive

A better community for a better world Located on the boundary of the Ashburton township, off Albert Street, Geoff Geering Drive residential development is a subdivision that will offer a lifestyle unlike any other, a unique community, designed and built with the future in mind.

The Ashburton District Council has put the vision back into subdivision, creating affordable sections with an eco-friendly twist, which are available to build upon now.

Winners of a prestigious Green Ribbon environmental award, the Ashburton District Council leads a New Zealand eco-friendly development initiative that paves the way for new energy-efficient and environment-friendly housing. The ecosubdivision takes a whole house approach to building affordable, comfortable, healthy and energy-efficient homes.

Housing development is well underway with a number of properties currently under construction. These sections have proved popular, with only 10 available sites remaining.

Sections on this eco-friendly development have been reduced in cost, making owning your own slice of land more affordable. This has been done in an effort to create a more

sustainable environment for the community, and the long-term savings benefits will appeal to the home owner.

Covenants exist to encourage sustainable homes, including on-site storage for a minimum of 5000 litres of storm water which can either be plugged into the greywater system or used for garden watering and the installation of either a solar or geothermal water heating system.

Being energy efficient means that these homes will also cost significantly less to run than non-sustainably built homes, so the home owner receives the benefit of a reduced cost in their section, as well as reduced energy costs and supreme living comfort.

The subdivision has been completed to a high standard, ensuring good looks and functionality for the home owners. The result was achieved with help from a team of experts all very committed to ensuring a sustainable, high quality, environmentally friendly subdivision.

Make your next lifestyle choice as good for the environment as it is for your bank balance.

Geoff Geering Drive subdivision is generally listed with Harcourts, Property Brokers, First National, McGregors & Ray White.

SmartBright – the smart choice in lighting your new home We live in a world where recessed downlights are the chic lighting option chosen for modern homes, creating a cleaner, more open appearance to our favourite living spaces. No more weird light bulbs sticking out of the ceiling that need to be covered with a shade, which inevitably ends up dirty and dusty. Recessing the lights into the ceiling sounds like the perfect solution, but those of us living with traditional incandescent bulbs or compact fluorescent lamps (CFL’s), know that this modern lighting option is full of frustration, and in some cases can even be dangerous.

used is only used to produce exactly what you want, light. In fact a Philips SmartBright LED downlight consumes only 12 or 18 watts of power compared to the standard 100 watts used in conventional lighting.

One of the other disadvantages of traditional downlights is that they produce heat, because of this insulation in the ceiling can’t be placed next to the bulb, leaving a draft gap for heat to escape through. The heat from traditional downlights has been known to cause house fires if the insulation has shifted, so why put your family at risk when there is a much safer option?

What is the solution?

LED is an invention that has been in our electronics and appliances for many years, but has only recently been enhanced as a primary lighting source. LED light doesn’t flicker, and has been developed to produce a clean white light, with a performance comparable to traditional lighting sources. The difference is that an LED doesn’t produce heat like a traditional lightbulb, meaning that they are more economical to run, because the power

Because the LED downlight doesn’t create heat, it is totally safe, and comes with a CA135 safety rating, which means that insulation can be placed against the fitting, making your home safer, warmer and more energy efficient.

traditional downlight bulbs, which can end up becoming expensive. The LED downlight fitting is guaranteed to glow for a minimum of 15,000 hours, based on the light being on for four hours per day. This means the light is guaranteed to work for ten years! This is only the minimum term covered by Philip’s guarantee, realistically they are expected to operate for much longer.

Why don’t all homes have LED Downlights?

If you check many online forums asking for comparisons between LED and CFL downlights, LED will always win hands down, but the only factor putting prospective buyers off in the past has been the price tag, as the LED unit is more expensive than a CFL bulb, and requires installation by an electrician.

What is an affordable answer?

Laser Electrical will install it into your home FOR FREE! At this price, take advantage of this amazing offer and try a unit, re-fit a room, or your entire home to experience the benefit of LED. This offer is proving so popular, Laser Electrical have already installed more than 200 units in the past 6 weeks, and want to continue to pass these savings onto their customers utilising their buying power with Philips.

With greater energy savings, heat insulation savings and the reduced cost and maintenance, the LED units have a short pay back time, and is the smart option for a safer, more economical lighting solution. And they look fantastic!

A warm home is a healthy home The best time to consider heating efficiency and insulation is when you are planning to build or renovate your home.

Successful planning now will make your home warmer, healthier and more energy efficient.

To get you started toward a happier and healthier future, here are some steps to take toward creating a better home. Best of all, some of these steps require little effort, and are free.

Step One – Insulation.

If your home isn’t properly insulated, then any heating source that you have running within won’t be heating your home as effectively or efficiently as it could be. It’s literally like setting your money on fire and watching it burn.

With the right combination of materials, features and technologies you can create a stylish, warm and comfortable new home that uses relatively little energy to run and is better for the environment.

A little spent on insulation now, will save you a lot in the long run.

Because heat rises, up to 40 percent of the heat in your home can escape through the ceiling before you have even felt the effect of it down on ground-level, so this

is an ideal place to start. It is also an easy place to start because the ceiling is easily accessible, with sufficient room to move around.

of the rooms in your home to a heating specialist who supplies many forms of heating to get an honest opinion about which is best for your individual home.

In the mean time, heavy curtains or blinds with thermal backing are a good alternative to immediate heat saving. Close them at sunset to retain the heat from the day.

A cold home will provide an ideal atmosphere for condensation to settle, which in turn will result in mould, mildew and an increased level of dust mites. It is this cold, damp atmosphere that will cause breathing difficulties such as asthma, and can make you more prone to catching a cold.

Double glazed windows are another fantastic way of stopping heat escaping.

Not only will they make your home warmer, but the investment will raise the value of your property. If you can’t afford to have all of your windows done at once, consider starting with the rooms that are the coldest, or that are the most frequented, such as the living area or children’s bedrooms.

Take a good look around your home and find any areas that may be draughty, such as windows, under doors or through gaps in the walls. Use old towels or clothing to place at the bottom of doors to stop the heat escaping, and use self-adhesive foam strips around windows to stop the cold getting in through small gaps.

Step Two – Heating

Once your insulation is taken care of, then it is time to focus on a cost-efficient and effective heating source.

With a number of options on the market, it is wise to take the time to establish which form of heating is best for each specific area of your home.

To get information specific to Ashburton, visit www.cleanheatashburton.org.nz for a list of organisations that can offer sales advice on burners that comply with the new regulations.

A dehumidifier will remove excess moisture from the air, which will actually make the room feel warmer, even without a heating source. Better still, investigate the best type of ventilation system for your home during the building process.

And don’t forget that it’s usually cheaper to spend a little more to stay warm and healthy than pay for repeat visits to the doctor or hospital, or taking time off work and school if you become unwell as a consequence of living in a cold, damp home.

Life is your palette, so when it’s time for a change, fill your world with colour.

As with everything in life, the more colour schemes you create over your lifetime of decorating, the more confident you will become. If you are confused about what colour will complement your lounge suite, or which wallpaper is best for your bedroom, Brady’s Painting are here to help.

Originally from Pleasant Point, David and Jenny Brady moved to Ashburton more than 20 years ago.

David originally worked for a seed cleaning company, but after doing some painting and decorating in his spare time, decided to make a career switch. After working for seven years for a local firm it

was time for the next challenge owning his own business, which has been going successfully for eight years.

As Jenny is an accountant, the husband and wife team merged their skills together to create a successful painting and decorating business.

As colour trends keep changing, dare to celebrate neon shades, using fluorescent green, yellow or pink, delivering new accent elements to your freshly decorated interior. Since these powerful colours tend to draw attention, combine them with neutral shades such as white and gray that will soften the visual impact. The striking atmosphere achieved will definitely be one of a kind. Brady’s are with you every step of the way, from the initial consult through to the finished product, to make sure that your new splash of colour enhances your living.

Through years of experience, David understands the tricks of the trade which can often leave a first time painter bamboozled. Lighting is a big factor to how the finished product will look, so David will check with his clients part way through a project to ensure the colour is exactly what was desired before completing the job.

Word of mouth can make or break a business, but throughout their years of trade, Brady’s have established a reputation for quality workmanship and excellent service, which has seen their business grow to eight employees and four work vans.

From classic to contemporary and sophisticated to playful, wallpaper is back in a big way. Textures are important with organic lines and fabric effects used as pattern fill or in backgrounds. Flocked wallpaper is making a strong comeback

and will continue to do so throughout 2012 and beyond.

Advances in modern technology mean our choices of colour and design elements are enormous. Wallpapers can add an interesting and fun texture to a room.

David is encouraged by the advances made in wallpapering, making the process easier, and ultimately the finish better.

No longer do you need to struggle with awkwardly painting glue on paper, now walls can be pasted before you put the paper on. Wallpaper can also be hung horizontally, not just vertically, making many awkward areas easier to wallpaper.

With a love of the Ashburton lifestyle, David and Jenny with their family have made this district home, and look forward to turning your house into a home with a fresh outlook on colour and design.

THE ASHBURTON FURNITURE MOVERS DIFFERENCE

Handy hints when packing

• Discard any unwanted/unused items.

• Pack room by room - start in one particular room and don’t leave until finished.

• Make sure all boxes are packed with lids closed and well labelled (on the tape is the best place

incase you are using second

hand boxes. Having lids closed will prevent damage

and stack in the truck a lot neater, reducing the chance of movement in transit.

• Don’t underestimate the volume of contents in hidden cupboards, for example kitchen and china cabinets. If these are left to moving day there is a good chance the removal man will have the truck loaded and out the gate before they are packed!
