Vaughan Smith is an Owner & Director of Vknox Limited, a franchisee of Oncore New Zealand, and doing business in Rotorua and the Eastern Bay of Plenty.
When deadlines matter and details can’t be missed, Vaughan Smith makes property maintenance simple.
As Owner of Oncore Rotorua, Vaughan leads end-of-lease, maintenance and property reset services across Rotorua and the Eastern Bay of Plenty. He works closely with Property Managers, Body Corporates and Property Owners to ensure properties are cleaned, repaired, documented and handed over on time without the usual stress of coordinating multiple trades.
Vaughan’s role is hands-on and accountable. He personally inspects each property, defines the scope of work and project manages every stage from inspection to final sign-off. By acting as a single point of contact, he removes complexity, reduces admin workload and ensures nothing falls through the cracks.
Why clients choose Vaughan and Oncore
Property Managers and owners operate under constant time pressure, scrutiny and compliance requirements. Vaughan understands this environment and has built his service around certainty, accountability and speed.
Clients are drawn to Oncore because they receive:
- One accountable project manager from inspection to handover
- Clearly defined scopes before work begins
- Quoted price delivery with no surprises
- Before-and-after documentation for records and compliance
- Reliable turnaround that minimises vacancy time
The result is fewer contractors to manage, faster resets, and confidence that the job will be done properly the first time.
A smarter alternative to managing multiple trades
Oncore was created to eliminate the inefficiency of coordinating cleaners, repairers, landscapers and handymen separately. Vaughan delivers a structured, repeatable process that brings all required services under one roof - managed, scheduled and quality-checked through a single system.
This approach reduces rework, improves turnaround times and provides a level of organisation and documentation rarely seen in residential property maintenance. It’s a standard previously reserved for commercial assets, now applied to residential portfolios.
Proven systems that deliver real results
Vaughan’s clients trust Oncore because of the systems behind the service:
- Structured inspections that clearly document scope and condition
- Quoted pricing and accountability, ensuring faster delivery and consistent standards
- Experienced contractor teams, fully coordinated and managed on the client’s behalf
- Clear documentation, reducing disputes and supporting compliance requirements
Every project is planned, executed, and documented with precision.
Experience that shows in every property
With formal study in Property Valuation and Management through Massey University and more than 15 years of hands-on experience running a property maintenance business, Vaughan brings both strategic insight and practical expertise to every job.
His background spans landscaping, pressure cleaning, concrete sealing and coatings, artificial turf installation, and general repairs. He has worked extensively with residential owners, Property Managers, Body Corporates and facilities teams across New Zealand and Australia.
Vaughan cares about properties the way owners do - protecting their value, presentation and longevity.
Let’s work together to add value to your property
The next step is simple. Vaughan will arrange a brief on-site inspection to understand your property and the level of care required.
You’ll then receive a free inspection report, a price quote and a clear delivery schedule for repairs and improvements and cleaning, all managed through one accountable point of contact.
