Case Study

Project Overview: Rapid Development and Resale by Mark with the Coleridge Plan

Mark, a property developer, faced the challenge of needing to rapidly develop and sell homes on three new sections created from subdividing an existing large property. The location demanded high-quality transportable homes that matched the upscale architectural style of the area, and speed was essential to ensure profitability.

Client Goals and Project Vision

Mark chose the Coleridge 3 bedroom transportable home for its adaptable layout and efficient use of space. The floor plan provided generous living areas while still leaving room for off-street parking. By mirroring the standard layout to place the entrance on the opposite side, he was able to tailor the design to suit each section’s orientation and street frontage.

Every decision was made with resale value in mind, ensuring each transportable house would deliver a strong return on investment.

Design Selections to suit the neighbourhood

To align with the upscale nature of the neighbourhood and maximise resale value, he made strategic choices in the finishing touches:

• Feature cladding at the entrance to create a striking first impression.
• Dark feature paint throughout the living areas for a modern, stylish look.
• Country-style trims on interior and exterior windows to enhance aesthetic appeal.

These selections were made from Manor Build's standard range to maintain cost-effectiveness. Additionally, the placement of windows, doors, and decks was meticulously planned to optimise the views and capture natural light, enhancing the living experience.

Fast Build and Delivery

With the construction of the transportable homes underway in our factory simultaneously with site preparation, the build time was significantly reduced. This parallel processing allowed Mark to swiftly complete the project within five months, from contract to delivery. Each three bedroom transportable home was quickly sold, returning a profit and contributing to the Taranaki property market with warm, energy-efficient, and affordable housing options. This project not only exemplified the efficiency and quality of Manor Build's services but also highlighted the benefits of prefab and transportable construction in meeting market demands swiftly and effectively.
