Camrei Homes justifiably proud Kelly Deeks Palmerston North residential building company Camrei Homes has entered the Registered Master Builders House of the Year awards for the first time. And, says real estate agent Anthony Reid, co-owner of Camrei with builder Mike Campbell, the clients and the company are equally proud of the design and build. Anthony describes the brick and plaster townhouse on Roy St in central Palmerston North as a crisp and clean, low-maintenance property well suited to the owners’ requirements. “It’s a very easy-care house which suits our clients in regard to what they want to be doing – going away and travelling and not having to do a whole lot of work on their property. “We designed their house to suit, and they were very involved in the process and invested in it as much as we were.” The services of interior designer Jo Blomfield, from Interior Motifs, were engaged to help the clients create their dream interior spaces, and the result is some very houseproud clients, he says. Camrei Homes has been in operation for the three years. Antho0ny Reid explains: “Mike and I saw an opportunity to bring our skills together and create Camrei Homes, not with the intention of building a large quantity of houses in a year, but to work with like-minded
people and fill a gap in the market. Plenty of spec builders are pumping out houses every year and its quite impersonal. At the other end of the market, premium builders are putting out heavily detailed and high-priced houses. “There is a market there where people want a bit more input, and to be taken through the process with a personal touch.” He says that after initially working on a couple of their own small developments, Camrei Homes got its own private clients and has continued to grow. “We haven’t really pushed our company out there to the market as it’s not something we’ve needed to do,” Anthony says. “We’ve ticked along and created our own market through word of mouth.” He says the combination of their skillsets gives clients the expertise they need to turn their concepts into designs, get those consented, which can be a hugely stressful experience for a lot of people, and then be guided through the construction process by Mike. Anthony says the residential construction market in Palmerston North has strengthened over the three years Camrei Homes has been in business, and there is more confidence amongst the local business community. “With that and the demand for houses, people are looking at building because they can get a bit more and can get exactly what they want. People are paying about the same price to buy pre-built as they are to build, so why not have something brand new?”
