Why Premium Hardware Changes the Whole Build | Tanya Rive (Halliday + Ballie)

In this episode of Build Better, host Chris Van Dijk sits down with Tanya Rive, Director at Halliday & Baillie, to talk about what it takes to design and manufacture truly premium architectural hardware. Tanya breaks down why Halliday & Baillie aims to be the “Louis Vuitton / Chanel” of door handles, how classic design beats trends, what coastal environments do to hardware, and why maintenance is a non-negotiable for long-term performance. They also unpack the importance of getting products specified in drawings, the role of fabricators in correct installation, and how quality control and local manufacturing protect the whole supply chain. 0:00 – What Halliday & Ballie Specialise In (The “Louis Vuitton” of Hardware) 1:13 – Introduction to Tanya Rive & Her 25-Year Journey 2:20 – From Importing German Hardware to Manufacturing In-House 3:02 – Why They Chose High-End Boutique Over Volume 3:41 – Design Process: Sketchbooks, Toolmakers & 3D Printing 5:44 – Classic vs Trend: Designing Hardware That Doesn’t Date 6:48 – Getting Specified: Working With Architects & Designers 9:44 – Finishes That Lead the Market (Powder Coat, Brass, Bronze) 12:39 – Expanding Beyond Door Handles (Architectural Fittings & Blind Boxes) 15:23 – Testing in Harsh Coastal Environments (Salt, Wear & Longevity) 17:09 – Maintenance Is Non-Negotiable (How to Extend Hardware Life) 18:34 – Warranty, Spare Parts & Why Manufacturing Control Matters 19:50 – Two-Step Quality Control & Protecting Builder Relationships 26:19 – Dove Coat Project: 10 Years in a Salt Environment 33:33 – Fabricators, CNC Precision & Why Authorised Installers Matter 42:03 – Sustainability, Packaging & Long-Term Investment Thinking 44:40 – Innovation, OEM Partnerships & Speed to Market 47:48 – Final Takeaway: Detail the Spec & Put It in the Drawings Follow Tanya:   / tanyarive_hallidaybaillie   Follow Chris:   / chrisvandijk_official
