I have been in my home now for 3 years: I was referred to SS Homes by a friend who had his home built with SS Homes: At that time, building a home was not on my checklist. Initially, I had shopped around looking at different existing houses. However, many of the houses I saw did not tick the boxes for me.
I met with Jason and planning commenced: My design of home was to accommodate my whānau, my children, and my mokopuna of all different ages. I also wanted to accommodate my extended whānau. My priority at that time was that our home would allow us to live together. At the same time, I wanted comfortable space for all whānau:
I did not want a simple home, I wanted a home with character. That meant shapes and design was important to me:
Such as the ceilings having different shapes and angles, the veranda to have a marae appearance. I wanted a whānau room that could be used for all occasions. Also, the combination of timber and brick was suggested which looks great. I have had others comment on the design: The hot water system is generated by sunlight. This has been a great way to keep the power account to a minimal.
My experience of having my home built had many challenges as this was my first experience to the business of building a house. My insight to the language and terms in regard to building materials and the procedures was somewhat foreign to me: I was able to contact Jason to query any concerns I had. These were promptly explained and clarified for me. As a result of this experience and the completion of my beautiful home, I have no hesitation in recommending SS Homes.
Ngā mihi nui ki a koe Jason and your team
