We understand that renovation is a broad topic which covers a wide spectrum of services. It may sound daunting to start off your first renovation or interior design project, but we are here to help. On this page are some commonly asked questions, answered by us.
A home renovation is not just limited to changing the look of your home. We are not just a builder, and we work to improve homes in all aspects through renovation / refurbishment and repairs. From small touch ups to full restructuring, you provide the scope, and we will quote it.
Yes, our scope of services includes both residential and commercial, and on top of renovations, we also offer staging and design services. We take on repair and maintenance jobs, too! If you are looking to refresh your commercial space, feel free to get in touch with us here. Or you can access our project gallery and take a look at our past commercial fit-outs here.
Commercial fit-outs will generally require consent if you are looking to alter the structure or services on top of the base build. There are requirements in place to ensure the safety of the building users, therefore we recommend engaging a professional to carry out any legally required consenting works.
Although we do not have ‘ready-to-go’ packages, we do offer a series of product selections in either a budget / standard / luxury category. The brands and products are catered specifically for each category, so that you can select from our existing range of products without worrying that you will go over budget. We can also create custom designs and sizes to achieve the result that you want.
House renovations are not only to improve the aesthetics of the house, renovations are also required when there are issues in the house. This can be a result of poor weathertightness, structural unsoundness, peeling paint, mould etc. If you are happy with the current design and look of the house, you can always opt for a renovation solely focused on resolving underlying issues in the house. The most necessary renovation is the one which makes you satisfied.
During the renovation process, you are able to make changes to products and materials as long as they have not been confirmed, approved and ordered. This will usually incur a variation in the contract, and may lead to price changes depending on the type of change. Although we recommend not to make too many changes once the site work has started, we do understand that making decisions is not always a breeze, so we do our best to cater for variations.
We have teams based in both Auckland and Queenstown. We can take on projects is various cities, including Auckland, Hamilton, Rotorua, Christchurch and Queenstown.
A renovation will generally require consent if it involves additions or alterations to the structure of a house, addition of new buildings, site works on decks above 1.5m height, site work relating to swimming pools, retaining walls and fences. The specific requirements in relation to building consent can be discussed with the council. If your project requires a consent in order to proceed, our design team will take care of it for you. However, projects requiring consent will take longer to complete, as the consent application and approval process can take up to a month depending on the work taking place and information required.
You can choose products which you would like to use. We are not limited to only those on our supplier list!
Talk to a renovation specialist to get an idea of what your project may require. This can include time frames, design requirements and cost estimates. There may also be legal requirements involved. We work with you to provide the best proposal, and with our extensive experience in the sector, we can give recommendations to help you reduce unnecessary costs.
Most full house renovations generally start with the stripping and removal of existing parts. The remaining process goes in this order: 1. Structural work 2. Plumbing, heating, wiring, other fix work 3. Plastering, painting, flooring 4. Bathroom fit-out 5. Kitchen fit-out 6. Final finishes
Our commercial and hospitality services include shopfitting, hotel refurbishment, interior design etc. If you have drawings on hand, we can quote to build. If you have an idea and a location, we can take care of the rest, and work with you to create your vision.
