In August 2001
the Gibbons contracted Gerald Harraway to build their
holiday home in Wanaka. They approached building
with some trepidation as it was their first experience
with the building process, and living in Christchurch
could not regularly visit the site.
"Gerald was very patient in answering our questions and
concerns. He suggested some improvements to our
architect's plans and these issues were identified
before they became urgent and reflected his preparation
and planning of our project."
Harraway Building completed the house on the due date 22nd
December 2002 and the Gibbons moved into their new
Wanaka holiday home for Christmas.
"He and his small team were very well organised
and completed the project on time and to a high
standard. We were delighted with their work..."
This home won a 2002 Registered Master Builders
Southern Region award.
