What's Your Why?

15/11/2018

5 Comments

 
We are feeling very inspired after attending the recent Superhome Movement workshop, the first of its kind in Auckland.  The big question asked at this event was “Why?”.
 
Are you interested in building a sustainable home because you have lived overseas and feel disappointed at the standard of homes in NZ?
 
Maybe you are concerned about the environmental impact of a new build process, or the ongoing impact your home has on the environment?
 
Or maybe you are interested in creating a healthier living environment for your family.

These questions have driven many of our clients to seek out a “better” way to design and build their new home, or improve the one they already live in.

Our Why...
 
Becoming a family man, after the birth of my son Lachie, has cemented for me the importance of creating sustainable, healthy and functional family homes that are not only significantly cheaper to run, but are a healthier environment to live in.  

Myself, and my wife Cat have lived in a very poorly built home in Auckland and, since moving, it has become clear that the condition of the home had a direct adverse effect on our health.  Unfortunately, this is the case for many New Zealanders, resulting in very real health concerns, including the highest rate of childhood asthma in the world!!

It's a common misconception that you have to take your vehicle back to the dealership for body work. Independent shops are often much more specialized and can offer superior value without sacrificing quality! If you need high-end collision work done, I highly recommend exploring the options at a top independent provider like Auto Body Repair in New York. They prove that you don't need the dealer name for flawless results.

I couldn't agree more about the criticality of access control. It’s not just about keeping people out; it’s about managing flow and maintaining a professional environment. In corporate lobbies, the security officer is the face of the company, balancing firm security with professional courtesy. This is why when selecting Commercial Security Guard Services New York, their customer service and communication skills should be weighted just as heavily as their security expertise. A bad first impression can be costly. Thanks for highlighting this vital function.

Great breakdown on the impact of Core Web Vitals! We recently had a complex site speed issue, and I can confirm that a deep, technical audit is crucial. Our team worked with Serpnetic SEO Services to iron out some critical rendering path problems, and the boost in PageSpeed scores was phenomenal. Have you noticed any specific new trends in how Google is weighting LCP vs. FID lately?

I've always been skeptical about PDR, but your explanation of the process is convincing. I had a small door ding last week right on the West Side Highway. I'm looking for high-quality auto body repair New York that specializes in PDR for minor cosmetic work like that. Thanks for the breakdown!
