have access to excellent sports and leisure facilities, schools and amenities. Infrastructure, industry, housing and various services are covered as more and more people turn their eyes east and south for a fresh start in life. An added attraction for many in these areas is easy access to the motorway where improvements are either being made or are in the pipeline. Of course, Design & Build covers far more than new housing opportunities. There is plenty of information for renovators, and new residents moving into existing homes. There is a wealth of information and ideas for indoors and out plus some sound advice on issues such as fencing laws, subdividing and legal matters. While steering readers towards professionals and companies which know and work within the local area, and which have a keen knowledge of local requirements, services, and more, Design & Build South East showcases Auckland’s popular south-eastern quarter and the exciting future it can offer residents.
