We recently spoke with Ryan from Eves Construction about using Homepacks and one of their six concept plan builds...
Rowan started it thirty-five years ago, I did my apprenticeship with him and stuck around, so I've been building now for 17 years now. There are eight of us on the tools and two in the office
To make it easier for clients that didn't know what they wanted, they can look at home designs and layouts and say, "yeah, I want that". It makes things a bit easier. They always like the look of a plan and make it their own by changing a few things.
It's easy to show clients a whole bunch of different floor plans and makes it a lot easier. You don't have to try and talk them through and draw things on paper trying to make something that works for them. Clients can typically find something in there that works for them pretty well.
Yeah, definitely! It saves us a couple of months, maybe more. If a client is pretty happy and all they're doing is changing a bedroom or adding a bathroom, we can have it through counsel in six weeks, whereas if someone is starting from scratch could be four or five months.
With the ArchiCAD files you supply, one of the guys that we use for drawings can upload them and carry on making client changes. He's now got a lot of the stuff saved on file, so when he does the drawings for us, it's easier for him because all details are there, and most people choose the same claddings here.
It's been good and has made life easier when dealing with clients. It also doesn't confuse people when you ask questions; you can show them floor layout and design examples. We have built five different Homepacks plans and have a sixth one currently in council.

The cladding was changed, one bedroom moved which removed the original second gable roof.
