Award 2013 GALLERY - PINFOLD HOME

 

 

When we embarked on building our new beach house it was with some trepidation. Whilst we had completed renovations previously, we had never built from scratch and it was a big undertaking.This was going to be our dream home - part of the 10 year plan. We had put hours of our heart and soul into the design and preparation and wanted to know the finished home would meet our expectations. I remember meeting Steve Haycock for the first time at our architects office and one of the first things he said was " I want you to enjoy the building process - seeing your house come to life", and he lived up to those words. Through our own interest we were involved in the build on a regular basis attending site meetings and involved in decisions along the way. I was impressed with the way Steve and Mike (the foreman) interacted with us and our architects, making practical recommendations along the way. When on site we observed the way the team worked together and took pride in their work. Steve and Mike's attention to detail was outstanding. We felt they treated it as their house - not just a job. It was reassuring to be kept informed on progress and costs along the way and we always felt under control. At the end of the day we are absolutely happy with the house . Steve delivered the finished house exactly how we had imagined - our dream fulfilled.
