I am currently building my second steel SIP house through Quick Build Homes. The first I built, with help from a builder, taking some weeks off work. QBH are doing the second and I am really pleased. Cheap, well insulated, low maintenance rental houses. My next project will be a two-story duplex in Newlands, Wellington. While I still want to do SIP construction, it is a design and build. So, I am looking for a builder who will respect the budget (new build rental, cash flow positive) but do a good job in exchange for fair pay. Any suggestions?

Hi Helen, I build metal SIP houses and have done a number in Whitby, including one under construction now. Happy to have a chat if you are interested. You can email me at ed@edworks.co.nz.

Helen, apologies for the delay, but I can’t remember any notification that there was something to reply to. I rediscovered this site today while doing a new search. The two story SIP duplex was built Agility Builders (contact Dave Twigg on 021 028 70584) and I was delighted (with both the journey and the results). Panels were from Formance and the design from Reve Architecture. Who did you go with? I ask because I have two other two storey duplex buildings planned for the next year or two. While I will definitely take the jobs to Agility first, it is always good to have a backup. Paul.
