As well as trying to achieve the highest standard of living for you and your family, Russell is also environmentally aware and conscious to build energy efficient homes. Whether it’s prioritising under floor insulation to ensure effective heating and lower energy bills, or solar heated water systems and rainwater collection systems to make your home more efficient, he finds solutions that not only save the environment, they’ll save you money in the long term and make your home more comfortable. Russell has experience in all aspects of the building process, and prides himself on being able to provide what a housing company can at a lower cost. Your home will have a 10 year guarantee with Master Builders, so you can build stress-free. They will take care of the entire process, including design, council approval and construction, so that all you have to do is look forward to enjoying your newly built home. Bruce Design and Build have based their business from Russell’s home in Tussock Place, and have recently expanded to have offices at 8b Kotua Place in Wakatu. This is due mostly to their involvement with the National product called Flashman, which is de-
signed to stop significant leaks that have become a common problem around aluminium windows. The Wakatu offices have room for a workshop in which to manufacture the Flashman window system. Since aluminium windows were first introduced 40 years ago, there has never been an adequate flashing system. This combined with NZ’s unique climate; window and door cladding junctions have been responsible for 50% of the Leaky Homes academic. Heavy reliance on silicon sealant as a flashing has been, and still is, the cause of many leaky buildings. The Flashman flashing system is the solution – it has been invented by New Zealanders to protect Home Owners, Designers & Builders by eliminating leaks at the junction between the cladding and aluminium joinery. Russell says that after explaining its benefits to clients, they always want to use the Flashman system on their new home. If you’re looking to build your dream home, visit the experienced and professional team at Bruce Design and Build.
