Our services
Architectural New Builds
We combine expertise and passion to thoughtfully craft your dream home, focusing on the details that truly matter to you most. Clear communication is at the heart of everything we do. Having your builder collaborate with an architect who aligns with your personality, vision, and budget from the very beginning, we can ensure a seamless, cohesive design and build experience—keeping costs within budget and maintaining full transparency from the outset.
Renovations
Successful renovations start with a clear understanding of your goals for the space, paired with the experience to navigate any unexpected challenges along the way! Whether you’re looking to expand, create seamless indoor-outdoor flow, or modernise your home, we’ll guide you through the process by thoroughly understanding your wants, needs, and budget. This allows us to maximise opportunities while preserving the character of your home or updating it with the warmth and comfort of modern living.
Expert Project Management
We are committed to leaving a legacy of quality. Every project is approached with integrity, passion, and meticulous attention to detail. We manage the construction of your project from start to finish, ensuring clear objectives, well-organised resources, and timely completion. With regular updates and transparent communication, we keep everything on track, proactively address potential issues, and provide an ideal solution for those with tight deadlines, multiple projects, or a desire for a hassle-free build experience.
Large Scale Developments
With five years of experience managing and constructing one of Queenstown’s largest retirement developments, the Arrowtown Lifestyle Retirement Village, we have the proven expertise to deliver on your project. We have successfully completed 5 stages of dwellings and the main lodge, which includes a reception, administration offices, dining room, lounge bar, library, gym, wellness centre, meeting room, cinema, and an indoor pool and spa.
Although we are a small company, we consistently produce exceptional results. With our dedicated team — including a Quantity Surveyor, Project Manager, in-house builders, and trusted subcontractors — we ensure that we meet your needs on time and deliver guaranteed quality.
Land Acquisition and Build Management
We are dedicated to helping you find the perfect piece of land for your new home, and we can connect you with experienced real estate agents in both Queenstown & Christchurch to guide you through the process. This approach not only saves you money but also offers more flexibility in both location and design, compared to traditional house-and-land packages, giving you complete control throughout. Whether you’re overseas or out of town, we ensure a smooth and transparent experience from the very beginning.
Making your build a journey to enjoy
When I began building in 2004, I realised that something was missing — effective communication between builders, their architects, and clients. That’s why we founded JMI in 2009, to make the process simpler, smoother, and even enjoyable. Building shouldn’t be stressful! With proper planning, open communication, and a little trust, it can be a rewarding journey that you’ll be proud of every step of the way.
