Houses We Have Built on the Kapiti Coast
New homes, renovations and extensions, and full reclads on the Kapiti Coast, from the framing going up to the finished house.
Real Jobs, Photographed on Site
Most of these are phone photographs Jamie took on the day, which is why some of them show the scaffold still up or the framing still open. The exceptions are the staged interiors of the new home at Parenga Road in Te Horo, taken for its real-estate listing, and a professional set of a recent extension and renovation. What is here: the black-clad bach with its cedar entry; the white weatherboard family home with the pool, the roof terrace and the gabled portico; the Te Horo house inside and out, and its new garage; a three-level house with a curved roof on a slope; a dark-stained house with a new outdoor room and roof deck; a kitchen, a bathroom, a staircase and a hardwood deck from renovations; new builds at the floor-framing and roof-truss stages; and three reclads with the old cladding off. It grows with every job, and the projects page tells the story of sixteen of them from the first day on site.

New homes
The black bach, the white weatherboard house with the pool, the Te Horo house and its new garage, the Queens Road house at Waikanae Beach, the curved-roof house on the slope, and builds photographed at the framing stage - one on a beachfront section, one on a rural block with the JMC truck in front, and a garage at Raumati Beach. All on the new builds page.

An extension opening onto a wide timber deck, a sage green and oak kitchen, a bathroom, the outdoor room with the roof deck above it, the timber staircase and the hardwood deck wrapping a corner. See renovations and extensions.
Reclads
The two-storey house with the old boards off and the rigid underlay on, the JMC banner on the scaffold, cedar weatherboards going on over the underlay, and the grey house in Waikanae with the new deck and pergola frame. See recladding.
