This historic Kapiti Coast beach bach was lovingly transformed into an very stylish, modern family home. Making the most of an absolute beach front location, the addition of bi-fold doors along the entire front deck floods the rooms with natural sunlight and frames the panoramic Kapiti Island views. This house was finished to the highest possible standard, with unique touches and one of a kind character features.
Masterful Execution and Uncompromising Trust
The execution of a high-end renovation requires more than just technical skill; it requires absolute trust. Working with Byrin, Jack, and the entire team at SB Group delivered exactly that. From day one, they treated me like family, bringing a genuine warmth and integrity that completely removed the usual friction of construction.
Their communication is exceptional. SB Group adhered strictly to the quote. On a renovation, changes are inevitable, but whenever a pivot was required, Byrin and Jack sat down with me to logically map out the options. They ensured total transparency and alignment, so together we always knew exactly where we stood before moving forward.
We forgot to use a traditional designer, so instead collaborated directly with electrical, carpentry, joinery, tilers and plumbing experts to find the right finishes and colours. The SB team embraced this approach, working alongside me to engineer brilliant, highly pragmatic solutions. Furthermore, when I brought in my own bespoke kitchen team, Jack’s crew integrated them seamlessly into the site workflow. There were no egos on site—just a unified, highly collaborative focus on the end result.
The attention to detail on our coastal property is truly incredible. Their internal benchmark for quality is so uncompromising that if a detail didn't sit right with them, they took it upon themselves to rip it out and start again at their own cost. That level of pride in one's craft is rare. I absolutely love this cottage, and the renovation was smooth as.
The ultimate metric of a successful build is whether you would do it all over again. We have further phases planned for this site, and I am genuinely excited to have SB Group back to execute them. I hold absolute confidence in Byrin, Jack, and their team, and I recommend them without hesitation.
