Ray & Garrick got onto the section the day after we found out we had our building consent and got straight into profiling up our house – basically mapping out exactly where the house will go, including the finished floor heights.

We headed down after work to check out what they had been up to and it was so awesome to see a ‘structure’ on the section for the first time. Suddenly everything seemed brilliantly real, especially when we could climb up a ladder and stand at the floor height of our kitchen/dining area. The view into the bush and down to the stream was ten times better than we’d been imaging. So exciting!
