Take the plunge: NOVAspace
What beats the thrill of a brand new pool? For Chris Thelin, the man behind South Island’s largest merchant of leading pools, the best bit is installing it.
Happy family memories are made around a pool,” says Chris Thelin, owner of NOVAspace. “I love this job because I get to bring those moments to life.” A hands-on guy offering a simple process but exacting standards, Chris is the only person who deals with each project from start to finish.
Creating an outdoor oasis can be a headache, but not for the customer. Chris’ 25 years in landscape design means he does all the heavy lifting – figuratively and literally – keeping the customer’s experience first-class. “The process is full of nitty-gritty and understanding the intricacies, but I will have all those issues sorted out before the process begins.”
Crafting a sparkling escape that extends seamlessly from the house, Chris manages each step from consultation, to design, to installation and after-sales service. “From the initial consultation and project management to putting the pool in the ground and turning it on, seeing them smile the whole way through is incredible.” He says there’s no better feeling than watching a client’s childhood dream come true – a refreshing invitation to a better way of living. “Putting the pool in is such a great feeling, my clients work their way up to and dream of that moment.”
Imagine his service like an all-inclusive buffet, but for your outdoors.
