Tell us what you have in mind and roughly where the house or the section is. Jamie will come and have a look and provide a quote - anywhere from Pukerua Bay to Levin.
How to Reach Us
The quickest way is to ring Jamie on 021 052 4447. If he is on the tools he will not always answer straight away, so leave a message with your name, the town and what the project is, and he will call back. You can also email jcorrigan.builder@gmail.com, which is the best way to send plans.
If it is not urgent, the form further down this page is the better option. It gets us the details we need to be useful, so the first call back is a conversation rather than twenty questions.
What Helps Us Give You a Useful Answer
None of this is required, and every bit of it makes the first conversation better:
- The address, or at least the town. It decides the drive and, for a consent, which council.
- What the project is, in a sentence: a new home on a section you own or are buying, an extension or a second storey, a whole-house renovation, a reclad.
- Plans, if you have them. Concept sketches, a designer's drawings or a full consented set. If you have none yet, say so - that is a normal place to start.
- The age of the house, for a renovation or a reclad. A 1970s weatherboard house and a 1998 plaster house are different jobs.
- Photographs, if you have them. Phone photos of the section, the rooms or the outside of the house are plenty.
- Any timing - a sale, a move, a settlement date, a summer you want the house for.
What Happens Next
-
Jamie rings you back
To ask anything he still needs and arrange a time to come and look.
-
He comes out and looks at the job
Walks the section or the house with you, checks what can be checked, and tells you straight away what will need a consent, an engineer or a designer.
-
You get a quote
What is included, the other trades where they apply, GST shown. Then it is entirely up to you.
Before You Get in Touch
Is there any obligation with a quote?
No. Jamie looks at the job and puts a price in front of you, and what you do with it is up to you.
How quickly can you come out?
Usually within a week or so for a look and a conversation. A new build or a big renovation is then priced from the drawings, so the sooner those are settled, the sooner there is a number.
Can you give me a rough price over the phone?
Jamie will happily talk you through what drives the cost of a job like yours, and he will not give you a number for a house nobody has looked at or a design nobody has drawn. Anyone who does is guessing, and the guess is always lower than the eventual invoice.
Do you work outside the Kapiti Coast?
Levin and the Horowhenua, yes, regularly. Further than that is a conversation - ring and ask.
Other Work We Do
One builder for the bigger jobs: new homes, renovations and extensions, and reclads, anywhere from Pukerua Bay to Levin.
New Builds
Architectural and custom new homes from the first site visit to handover: foundations, framing, cladding, joinery and the finish, with the consent, the engineer and the other trades organised by Jamie. Read more
Renovations & Extensions
Whole-house renovations, extensions, second storeys and structural alterations that add rooms and open up the living areas, planned so the house keeps working while the work happens. Read more
Recladding
Full reclads of plaster and weatherboard homes: the old cladding off, the framing checked and repaired, a new cavity-based cladding system on, and the consent signed off. Read moreTalk to Jamie About Your Project
