“The details are not the details. They make the design” - Charles Eames Brendon and his team’s attention to, and execution of the detail from the cantilevered in-situ concrete beams to the finishing trim were fundamental to the success of this project. |
Richard Vorstermans, Architectural Designer, MCV Design Ltd Brendan Holloway and his team did an excellent job on this project. Being a major renovation, there were challenges combining the new with the existing character of the home. Brendan’s attention to detail resulted in a great finished product. During the construction process, Brendan was attentive and helpful. Particularly when it came to any client-requested changes or decision-making, resulting in a smooth construction process. It is obvious that Brendan takes pride in his work and genuinely enjoys building homes. This can be seen in the many quality homes the Brendan has constructed over the years here in the Wanaka district. |
Ted Hewitson, homeowner and client I was faced with a lovely opportunity on a lakeside site at Dublin Bay Wanaka. An existing farm building needed to be relocated on site and be repurposed to create a studio living space that would be camera and audio friendly as well as a working living space. Brendan Holloway and his team took up the challenge and were craftsmen that problem-solved and delivered a fantastic outcome on time and on budget. The job was a difficult one as the team were working within the confines of our existing building, albeit one they had originally built, but the finish and detail is of the highest standard and delivers on all levels. Brendan and his team come highly recommended. |
Duncan K, homeowner and client Brendan and his team tackled this novel project with interest and gusto! Manipulating sustainable materials of straw bales, cob and lime plaster into clean rectilinear shapes needed someone prepared to take up the challenge, and Brendan managed just that! |
James Groombridge, homeowner and client Building the Black House in Riverbank Road was a great experience. Brendon was a great builder and project manager. The house came together meeting our key requirements of time, budget and quality. For me, Brendon took real ownership of delivering an amazing house and added some great value with his expertise and practical knowledge. Communication was excellent and his ability to work directly with the designer and his sub-contractor was brilliant. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him if the opportunity presented itself again. |
