Why Build Right? More Than Just Builders
Build Right stood out for Maggie after her extensive research. Founded in 2004 by Rex Lawrence and led by a team of Registered Master Builders, their reputation for blending architectural vision with practical craftsmanship resonated.
As Maggie says: “From the first consultation, they listened. No pushy sales tactics—just honest, creative solutions tailored to my townhouse’s constraints and my vision.”
Their design-build approach meant Maggie worked with a single team from sketch to completion, removing the stress of co-ordinating architects, engineers, and builders separately.
The Vision: A Conservatory That Feels Like Home
Maggie’s brief was simple but profound:
- Create a bright, weatherproof space for relaxation, reading, and indoor plants
- Maximise natural light without overheating in summer
- Ensure seamless integration with the existing townhouse architecture
- Add value to her property without overwhelming the compact section
Build Right’s solution? A timeless glass conservatory with:
- Thermally broken aluminium framing to prevent condensation—a must in
Christchurch’s variable climate - Low-E glazing to minimise UV damage while retaining warmth
- Sliding bifold doors opening to the courtyard, blurring indoor/outdoor boundaries
The Transformation: More Than Just Square Metres
Today, Maggie’s conservatory is the heart of her home. The results exceeded her
expectations:
“It’s not just a room – it’s my mental health sanctuary. On rainy days, I listen to the droplets on the glass. In winter, I’m warm without the heater running constantly.”
