I’m coordinating works on an older residential property and am seeking an experienced, reliable builder to price and carry out defined structural and exterior works.
The homeowner wants the work done once and done properly, with clear scope and pricing upfront. Any additional work outside the agreed scope would be discussed and approved before proceeding.
Scope of Work (Builder)
Cut down existing chimney to below roofline
Remove remaining external chimney attached to wall
Remove internal fireplace and flue
Frame and line new internal wall where fireplace was
Lift / replace fascia as required
Supply & install new barge boards
Reclad external wall area where chimney is removed
Note: This is an older house. Cosmetic matching of existing cladding may not be exact. Priority is structural integrity and weather-tightness.
Requirements
Site visit required to confirm scope
Fixed price for defined works
Any work outside scope to be treated as a variation and discussed prior
Ability to coordinate timing with roofing works
LBP builder preferred (restricted work involved)
Location
Waiuku, Auckland
Timing
Flexible and weather dependent — not rushed.
Additional Notes
Roofing works are being coordinated separately
This is a private residential job (not a developer or volume build)
Clear communication and reliability are important
Happy to answer questions and arrange site access.
