With over 28 years in the business of building quality homes, Andrew prides himself in providing customers with a personal approach to service. Consistently high standards are maintained by building lasting relationships with contractors and suppliers. The company have used the same crews for a long time and very rarely change. Based in Blenheim, Andrew Pope Homes covers the Marlborough area including the Sounds. Andrew says that working in the Sounds is a bit like taking a holiday it is such a stunning location to build in. Andrew says that he is normally working with 30 separate clients at any one time in various stages of the process from homes under construction, going through Council consent, design, pricing or just responding to enquiries. With the bulk of work coming from referrals, Andrew says the company has 15 new builds under way at any one time, at various stages of completion. Andrew Pope Homes have a varied repertoire in their portfolio from a 70sqm granny home with a large deck and river view to 450sqm high-end builds. “We just enjoy designing and building quality houses for people”.
