Verandas

We have a uniquely designed veranda and decking system which we pre build in our yard and transport to site to install. This system is for a veranda of up to 20 square metres maximum and includes our lovely decorative scrolls and oil for the decking.

Finance

Banks, in the past have been a bit more hesitant at lending on a transportable or relocatable home, as well as a kitset home. The main reason is that the home is not constructed on your site, so if the equity is not there, they don’t lend until the home is on your site.

At DWC we understand this and work with the banks through local mortgage broker Karen Essex-Mooney. Email: Karen.essex-mooney@loanmarket.co.nz
She has successfully been able to get tailored finance for this type of build, it is important that you get the best options that suit your circumstances. This will help you to achieve your dream home.

Basically, we take a deposit and then we fund the build, and the transportation to your property. Once the house is on your property and sitting on piles we will then get our next payment. Once this payment has been received, we will then complete the work eg. connect to services, add verandas and decks and get the final Code of Compliance Certificate before the final payment is made to us and keys are handed over.

All our homes get a Code of Compliance certificate before leaving our yard, and another one for the foundations (piles) and drainage work once the on- site work is complete. The finance can be done similar to a construction loan, but in our case there is only 3 payments to completion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I visit your yard while my home is being constructed?

A. Yes you can, but please make an appointment first.

Can you transport to the North Island?

A. Yes, it is possible. We work on a case by case basis for the North Island. Please contact us to see if we can help

Can we arrange a full contract?

A. Yes you can. We work with all our clients and can put together a contract which includes transportation and site service connections. Conditions apply

Do you arrange everything eg Council consents, engineers etc.

A. Yes we can arrange all of this for you. We can also give you a fixed quotation to cover all of these costs, or in some cases if you are out of town we will help to guide you through this.

Is there any part of the job that you don’t do?

A. We stay away from subdividing and also Resource Consents, there maybe a few other things outside the norm also.

Can we select our own colour scheme?

A. Yes definitely

Can we select and supply some of our own fittings eg Light fittings, appliances, vanities?

A. Case by case basis - very limited opportunity for this.

Can we make any changes to the floor plans?

A. Minor amendments only - anymore is case by case.

Can we do any work on our house during construction eg. Painting, plumbing, electrical?

A. Unless you are getting the consent in your own name, and are employing us on a time and material contract then we generally won’t do this, as in most cases we are funding the build (with the exception of the deposit) which means we stay with all of our own systems and subcontractors.

Can we do any of the on site work ourselves?

A. Once again this is the same as above. In some cases we may make exceptions if the work is completed before we get to the site, and it has no effect on our consent or any work that needs to be signed off with the council.
REMEMBER – You can purchase EX yard and do all the work yourself; we will help advise and guide you through the process.
