    Very informative videos... My son is starting on his apprenticeship and have been getting him to watch your videos as we build soild timber homes and he misses out on alot of the framing aspects ..
    I would really like to see a video on soild timber homes ... And what they offer...
    Keep up the awesome videos. And yes have now subscribed and will get my son to aswell..
    We also do alot of exterior metal work but we always use timber cladding around the windows... Makes it so much easier as you said . It also becomes a feature

    Ha Ha, Some of the drone footage looked familiar. It’s behind where I grew up! Virtually all the area was bush and we used to ‘run’ through it regularly. Looks different now, but a few properties are recognisable, as was the road. Some things change, some stay the same. Nice job Josh

    You must be dealing with the only architect lacking access to Google maps, Must be on Waiheke Island and living in the 70s. Great intervention and finished poduct by you and your team

    I work as an architectural designer here in NZ - I suspect that the reason the architect got incorrect topographical information, was because it was obtained from council GIS maps or some random source. And that a survey was never done by a surveyor.
    From experience, ALWAYS get a topographical survey done even before you start designing anything. Don’t rely on google earth or data from koordinates or the council.
    Engaging a surveyor early on saves a lot of time and headaches down the line. It’s crazy to think this happened right up until piles were put in!

      Totally agree - lucky they had such a good builder on board to spot this before it was too late

    Amazing video Josh, I'm about to be signed off my self, I just completed a 54m2 steel framed pool house / sleepout in parklands in Christchurch, with metal roof and cladding with hidden fastenings, with Thermax thermal break in-between, it was a real learning curve for me, as I only had a second year apprentice to help me lift and clean, and my boss overseeing and signing off the build, your video's help me understand each stage your attention to detail along with you taking the time to explain step by step how you problem solve has been a real inspiration and I just want to say thank you

    This is a really nice house, thoughtfully built with attention to detail. I know it's common for many building sites to be set lower than the main road, and this one is also on a sharp corner. Personally, I wouldn’t feel entirely safe here unless some kind of physical barrier was added along the roadside.

      There will be a fence and a lot of planting done to protect the house from falling cars

    Great video Josh very informative, I’m currently at the cladding stage on a fully metal clad dwelling and yes I feel your pain with all the flashings but in the long run it provides an easy care low maintenance option that I liked as I’m building this to be my retirement home.
    Keep up the great videos 🙂👍

    I like this video very much. But I am curious why the owner chose such a bad place to build the house, in a valley. When the rainfall is a little heavier, it will be very inconvenient to go out. If it rains heavily, you have to worry about whether the house will be destroyed by floods. There is also a curved road with a large slope next to it. If the driver does not operate properly or encounters extreme weather, he may fall off the road and damage the house.

      My thoughts exactly 😢 Flood water, landslides and flood debris. It's very counter-intuitive to have place the building there.

    I would only use plastic cavity batons, if I did steel cladding again, to help with thermal bridging. Although the batons you used would still be much better than direct fix.

      I don’t think they physically flipped it like with a house moving company, Cranes, etc. just flipped on plans before anything was really started. Kind of Clickbait.

    As an experienced builder I'm surprised that you didn't query the alignment of the house given that the lounge was pointing south.

    any good roofer that does iron wall cladding would of laughed at you to try do the iron setout to find where the ribs will to measure the window flashings. what a f^%@ around.. your better of to get a variation with the council an gone back to the draftsman with that window jamb flashing detail.
    basically by flashing it twice.
    you can back flash it, so 90degree flashing that goes in before the window with a crushfold edge, then it nails ontop of the cavity battern an returns into the window opening, then once the iron is on make another flashing that actually clips behind the window aluminum with a crush fold then you can easily measure it so it lands past a rib.
    .. pre measureing to find out where the rib of the iron is going to be without the iron on the wall is seriously backwards mate. i think u made that way to hard for yourself next time talk to your draftsman an get a variation.
