TUHAERE HOUSE

From the moment Janice and the team at JKW came on board with our project, we finally felt like we had the right people involved to bring our dream home into fabulous reality. Our only wish is we’d had them on board from the very beginning.

JKW provided exactly what we needed. They understood us as clients, as people, our strengths, weaknesses, worries and aspirations for our project. They brought expert product knowledge, had superb industry connections and relationships with high calibre craftspeople and product specialists. They brought pragmatism and practicality to critical choices, design innovation and flair, and astute mindfulness to cost implications of options on the table. They pushed us to be bold, to consider a wide spectrum of materials, and also to understand the “why” regarding product choices. 

We had naively thought we could manage the myriad of decisions required during a house build, but quickly came to realise we were well out of our depth. JKW managed the complex interconnectivity of decisions and choices with ease. They were hands on and onsite whenever needed to help navigate the sometimes difficult dynamic between design concept and practical construction. They were fantastic advocates for us as clients and kept the quality high spec finish foremost of mind when collaborating with builders, product specialists and tradespeople.

JKW helped keep our dream project interesting and exciting during what was otherwise a rather stressful time. We felt informed, aware and confident in the choices we made together with JKW and have no regrets.

First and foremost, Janice and her team at JKW are wonderful, knowledgeable, hardworking, lovely people, who come to work everyday to make your dreams come true. We trust them completely and would recommend the JKW team wholeheartedly.
