TESTIMONIAL from a Rental property Manager
03-Nov-11
'Quality Property Management is a residential property management company in Christchurch. We are really pleased how GetRealEstate  is working for us. The GetRealEstate site is so user-friendly. I can manage all our rental listings on the site. I can add, delete and edit text and photos at will and I can store listings for the next time they're needed. The site is quite fun to use. The real proof of it is that tenants are finding the site on Google and other search engines and they're finding our rental properties. The traffic numbers are good. I recommend the GetRealEstate website to other rental property managers throughout New Zealand'. Michelle, QPM Chch ('Oh, by the way, check out our listings').

TOTALSPAN STEELING THE RURAL MARKET
24-Sep-08
Totalspan, part of the Spanbild Group, provides a range of steel buildings and sheds, proving popular with the growing rural and commercial markets.

General Manager Leon Skylakis attributes Totalspan’s success to a number of factors, particularly the professionalism and service levels of the locally owned and operated franchisees.

“We carefully select and train our franchisees to ensure that we have the right people with a service focused attitude and a good local knowledge.  That means that our customers deal directly with local people who have an invaluable understanding of the environment, conditions and local council building regulations.  As a result we can find the best design solution.  We set exceedingly high service standards for our franchisees, our customers will always get prompt and thorough service and should expect nothing less.”

Mark Collins, a local sculptor recently purchased a steel building from Totalspan. “Their attention to detail and workmanship is something that I have shown everyone who has visited and something that I am appreciative of. I sincerely congratulate you on the culture your company has and if there was one stand out thing that your company has done consistently is ‘communication and Customer Care’. Well done” he says.

Farmers, people living on lifestyle blocks and light commercial and industrial businesses have proved a ready market. More and more farmers are taking advantage of the strength of steel, which does not bend or rot like timber.
Totalspan supplies either kitsets or the full service, from planning and design of the building, council consents, site clearance and construction. Totalspan takes care of the entire project.

“Most of our business comes from referrals, which we think is down to the quality of our product and the emphasis we put on making sure the design will suit the customers’ specific requirements. We are able to offer different styles and sizes of building to suit the particular location, as well as configure partition walls when required, making our product flexible and versatile,” says Skylakis.

Totalspan invests heavily in research and development to ensure their designs meet the specific needs of the New Zealand market – many other steel companies use Australian designs.  All Totalspan buildings offer an exclusive 25-year structural guarantee.

Totalspan’s product range includes:
•    Open front farm buildings (for storage of hay, tractors, farm machinery);
•    Closed in gable roofed portal buildings (in various sizes and colour options);
•    Flat roof shelters (ideal for calf rearing sheds, storing large farm machinery);
•    Heritage barns (traditional American barn designed for storage with some having been used for housing);
•    Utility sheds (larger and more durable than a garden shed, designed for quad bikes, mowers, chemicals);
•    Garages (single and double); and
•    Garden Sheds.

Ease of construction and versatility make steel buildings ideal as workshops and warehouses, replacing less adaptable building styles. Until recently, the maximum span available has been 12 metres, but earlier this year the 15 metre span range of portal buildings was released.

The Totalspan 15m span portal building, the largest in the range with leg heights up to 6 metres and bays up to 6 metres wide has a variety of uses within the rural market. The building is suitable to be used for the storage of implements, general storage, storage of hay, packing houses, cow sheds, stock feeding, poultry farms, workshops, aircraft hangars and many other uses.


TOTALSPAN STEELING THE RURAL MARKET - continued
24-Sep-08
The buildings are of a portal frame construction – i.e. a clear span. All the construction is from steel, bolted and screwed together. The building differs from other steel buildings on the market as the purlin and girts are manufactured from a Zed shaped section. Totalspan manufactures most of the components for the buildings in its Christchuch based factory and is the only manufacturer in New Zealand of this section. This section has a distinct advantage over other sections used as fewer fixings and brackets are required for assembly. Due to the design of the section, the buildings are also tidier in appearance.

Totalspan steel buildings are a cost effective alternative to ongoing storage costs and combine strength, durability and colour of choice with affordability.
