When Lee Howard and Steve Wade decided to form a business partnership they had a clear vision of what they wanted to achieve.
The result was Howard + Wade Builders.
In many ways it was an association that was meant to be.
The two good mates are experts in the field but remain down to earth and approachable.
Steve has 30 years of experience as an award-winning builder and is the director of Wade Builders, a family business that builds high-end architectural properties in Melbourne and greater Geelong. The family has a 50-year legacy in the building industry.
Lee has a real-estate background and is a property all-rounder with an extensive experience in residential construction and land developments. He has worked with, and for, some of Australia’s largest developers and builders.
Together, they form the perfect mix to help you build your new dream home.
“We were always talking about doing something together so it happened pretty naturally,” Steve says.
Building a new home is often stressful, but it doesn’t need to be.
Howard + Wade takes the hard work out of the entire process.
“We’re a new company and a new builder that’s come to Geelong and the Surf Coast,” Lee says.
“We’re limiting it to 15 homes in our first year. Our focus is on the customer and the product.
“We want to make sure we have the right processes and systems in place.”
Clients have five key floorplans to choose from and will be engaged with the builder throughout the entire process.
“We’ve taken the hard work out of it,” Lee says.
“Our customers will get to chat to the builder. They will meet the builder in charge and I will always be there.”
Howard + Wade offers a number of home designs to suit a number of lifestyles. Once you have selected a design, the team will tailor the design to suit you and your needs.
“I want people to enjoy their building experience,” Steve says.
“We want to hold the customer’s hand for the want of a better word for the whole process and make it enjoyable.”
Before the commencement of a build, Howard + Wade will introduce its customers to an appointed building supervisor to step through the building process.
“We’re a small builder delivering a high-quality home,” Steve says.
“We offer a superior level of service and you’ll get to talk directly with the builder.”
Howard + Wade recently unveiled its new display at 1 Rosser Boulevard, Torquay.
