7 features worth building into your outdoor entertaining area at the design stage.

1. Covered outdoor kitchen — built-in BBQ and benchtop under a roof overhang.
2. A fixed dining table — built-in or heavy enough not to move in the wind.
3. A pergola or sail for afternoon shade — design it in, don't add it later.
4. An outdoor fireplace or fire pit — extends the outdoor season by months.
5. Soft outdoor lighting at low level — in deck boards or along the balustrade.
6. A built-in planter with native plants for privacy.
7. Weatherproof outdoor power built into the BBQ bench.

Budget accordingly. Tag a tradie who knows this feeling.

Most people do not know what good builder communication looks like until they have experienced the opposite.

By then the build is underway and changing builders is not straightforward.

What did communication look like on your build — and what would you have wanted more of?

Most people don't read their building contract until something goes wrong. That's too late.

Building with a MasterBuilders certified firm gives you access to the MasterBuilders Guarantee. It covers defects in materials and workmanship, and it's backed independently, not just by the builder's word. That distinction matters, because a builder's goodwill is only as solid as their business.

Beyond that, you're covered under the Building Act and the Consumer Guarantees Act. As licensed building practitioners, we carry personal accountability for the work. There are named people responsible, not just a company.

When you're spending what a new build costs, it's worth understanding exactly what's behind you. We're happy to walk you through it before anything is signed.

We're always happy to answer questions so give us a ring.

Wastewater is rarely the first thing people ask about when they buy a Coromandel section.

For rural and coastal sections, it determines where the house can sit, how large the garden can be, and whether the build can proceed at all.

Are you on council sewer or septic — and did the wastewater requirements affect your design?

6 features worth including in your coastal bach entry before you finalise the layout.

1. Wide bench with storage below — long enough for two people.
2. Hooks at two heights — for jackets and for wetsuits/kids.
3. Drain-friendly concrete or stone floor that can be hosed down.
4. A narrow shelf for keys, sunscreen, sunglasses.
5. Natural light — highlight window or skylight above the door.
6. Direct sight line to the outdoor shower so wet gear stays outside.

1 broken tile. That's all it takes to find out whether your builder sourced locally or not.

On the Coromandel, supply chains aren't the same as Auckland. A product that arrives in 2 days in the city can take 2 weeks to reach us, if it's still in stock at all.

That's why we lean hard on local suppliers and yards. We know who has what, what's available in the region, and what needs to come from elsewhere. That knowledge gets built into the project before we start, not after something goes wrong.

Replacement timber, matching hardware, an additional box of tiles from the same batch — these things are solvable when you've built the right local relationships over years.

For clients building from Auckland, this is one of those details that's easy to overlook when you're planning from a distance. We keep it front of mind so you don't have to.

5 lighting decisions that change how a coastal bach feels after dark.

1. Layer ambient, task, and accent lighting in every main room.
2. Dimmers on everything — the ability to drop light levels changes everything.
3. Rattan or woven pendants over island and dining — warm dappled light no downlight replicates.
4. Warm white bulbs only — 2700K maximum.
5. Outdoor deck lighting at low level, built into boards or balustrade height.
