One of the companies Hanna has a strong partnership with is AD Architecture.
“In the 30 odd years I’ve been in business I’d say we’d find them the one of the best architectural companies we’ve ever been involved with. They’re great people, no nonsense and professional with great vision. We find our clients speak highly of them. Why would you want to skimp on the initial design process when you are dealing with your main asset?” Hanna says.
“We’re on the end of the process with the client – and when there’s good communication between ADA and the customer and the project is all consented and ready to go, then our job is easy.
A recent job ADA and Hanna worked on together was adding a triple car garage with an upstairs studio and a link above to the main house in Roseneath.
“The team at ADA had a lot of foresight for this difficult job. The access was tricky, it was an extremely difficult site geographically,” Hanna says.
This extension will be entered in next year’s Master Builders Awards. The house, built seven years ago by Hanna Construction, won a silver medal back then. And still looks as good as it did then with the current owners adding their personal touches.
ADA and Hanna have also worked on a number of home refurbishments lately, including completely modernising some historic houses.
“ADA has a great feel for historic redesigns and new homes alike,” Hanna says.
Peter Davis from AD Architecture has worked with Hanna for more than ten years, when he had his own practice and now as part of the ADA team.
“Due to the thoroughly professional manner in which John approaches projects, he has won several tenders and is often selected by clients ahead of other firms for negotiated tender or design and build projects,” he says.
“John has the capability to fully understand the client’s vision and also provide valuable insights during the construction phase to always achieve a great result. The quality of work is always superb from both the building team and their loyal sub contractors.”
