Outdoor flow, a custom kitchen and C-Bus control all feature in this Fowler Homes Christchurch design

Planning a new home involves many practical choices, from the layout to energy efficiency options. But it can go well beyond that with the right house builder, the small, individual touches are also treated with importance. That's when a house really becomes your own home.

Fowler Homes Christchurch designs and builds homes that reflect a high level of personal input, says managing director Ivan Stanicich.

"A recent survey found us to be one of New Zealand's top builders for customer satisfaction, level of service and likelihood to refer and glowing recognition like that is hard-earned.

"This four-bedroom-plus-study home, with every modern convenience and some of the best products in the industry, is a case in point."

Features include polyblock walls, Rockcote plaster systems, fully laminated glass, R5.0 Batts in the ceiling, R2.8 in the walls, two gas hot water systems, a custom kitchen and walk-in pantry, and three bathrooms. Push-button convenience comes with full C-Bus control over audio inside and out, security, audio visual and even blinds.

The living space and lounge are welcoming and large sliders open up to merge the interiors with an extended sheltered outdoor area.

Then there are the more personal touches a hand-crafted stone fire surround, a special bath from Sydney, and a comfy carpet in the garage.

"This house is testament to our skills and the input of our clients. We all loved the end result."
