The Many Sides to Nita Why did you choose Maddren Homes? I wanted to work in a building company that I can confidently say has the best quality, craftsmanship and service. With so many House of The Year awards, Maddren has developed a very good reputation in the neighbourhood. Moreover, I wanted to work close to home and, as we have a show home in Orewa and a new show home under construction in Millwater, this is just down the road from where I live! Tell us more about your job… My job is to help people building their dream home! Listening to client’s plans, ideas and needs is a crucial part of my job. There is a long checklist to go though, to ensure we don’t miss out anything in the planning stage, and get things right from the very beginning. Budget is a key focus in the build, and part of my job is to bring the client’s ideas and dreams to life within the agreed figure. Building a new house is exciting but can also be daunting, so another part of my job is to walk with my clients through the journey and make it less stressful.
We interviewed Nita Wong in this magazine back in August 2016, when she was a stay-at-home mum, and at the time she was preparing her way back to the workforce and into the construction industry. That’s why we are delighted to hear she started her dream job a few months ago, almost the same time that her youngest son started school. We were keen to know more about this community-focussed person who is already well-known for helping others, so we joined her at her new place of work.
Of course, there are some not-so-fun parts, such as checking covenants and Council restrictions, reading technical reports, etc; but this means that our client doesn’t need to worry about anything when they come to us – we will take good care of everything. If you are even at the very early stages of planning on building a new home, talk to Nita now and she will help make it happen for you. See Nita’s ‘Asian Corner’ article on p46 and recipe on p44.
When did you join Maddren Homes? In April, I first joined the company as a part-time new home coordinator. This is because Maddren understood that it would not be easy for me to transition from a full-time mum to a working mum, and they allowed me time to adjust my work-life balance, so I always feel grateful of their caring and understanding. In the first few months, lots of training was provided, with full support in every way. I am now a full-time design and build consultant and I can’t wait to help people build their dream home.
