With 30+ years experience in the building industry, our CEO Doug Misipeka has provided solutions for many owners of difficult sites.

He has successfully built on a variety of difficult sites, overcoming challenges such as:

  • Highly reactive soil types.

  • Sites with moderate to extreme slopes.

  • Unexpected solid rock formations within the building envelope.

  • Blocks without minimal street frontage or otherwise limited accessibility.

  • Obtaining permits to build over sewer, stormwater or other in-ground services.

  • Long distance connection with utilities (such as power, water and sewerage).

  • Remote Locations, such as only accessible by ferry or unformed road.

  • Easements or other restrictions on the building footprint size or height limit.

  • Tree Removal and/or Retention in accordance with Vegetation Protection Orders.

For your peace of mind, our process includes several on-site visits, soil test, site surveyors utilising satellite navigation technology and fully qualified engineers for all foundation reports. The exact building envelope, contours of your land, any cut and fill required and specific foundations are assessed well in advance to ensure your home design is suitable and will stand the test of time once constructed.

At Boutique Style Homes, we believe what sets us apart is the amount of time and research we invest to assess the unique characteristics of each site before commencing any building works. Contact Doug for a no-obligation conversation about any challenges or concerns you may have.
