Who this suits

A renovation is the right move when your home has good bones but no longer fits how you live, and you'd rather transform what you have than start again.

  • Families needing more space or a smarter layout
  • Anyone with a tired kitchen or bathroom to modernise
  • Owners wanting to add value before selling or refinancing
  • Character or heritage homeowners after a sympathetic upgrade

What's involved

  • A free site visit and honest chat about your plans
  • Design from scratch, or building to your architect's plans
  • Finishes and fixtures chosen before we price
  • Council consent handled where it's needed
  • Demolition, build, and every trade managed by us
  • A final walk-through and a 10-year guarantee

Our process

Three clear stages, from first sketch to fresh coat of paint

A renovation shouldn't take over your life. We map the whole job out so you always know what's next, from the first site visit to the final walk-through.

Stage 1

Getting to know you

We visit, talk through how you use the space, your budget, and what you want to change. We work to your architect's plans or design it from scratch, then measure up so we can put together an accurate quote. No cost, no obligation.

  • A site visit and honest chat about your plans and budget
  • Design from scratch, or working to your architect's plans
  • An accurate measure-up and scope of works
  • A quote to follow, with no obligation to proceed

Stage 2

Design, selections and consent

We finalise the design and you make your selections, right down to finishes and fixtures, so the price we reach is genuinely fixed. Where structural work, plumbing, or weathertightness is involved, we handle the building consent, with a preliminary contract covering our council liaison.

  • Final design and layout locked in
  • Finishes and fixtures chosen before we price
  • Building consent handled where it's needed
  • One genuinely fixed price presented to you

Stage 3

Sign on and build

You sign your NZ Certified Builders contract, which protects both of us and locks in your start date and a guaranteed completion date. Then we manage the whole build, from demolition to the final coat, with one point of contact and weekly updates.

  • Sign your NZ Certified Builders contract and confirm your datesYou commit here
  • Demolition, build, and every trade managed by us
  • One point of contact and weekly site updates
  • Finished on the agreed date, or $100 a day if we run late
  • A final walk-through and a 10-year HALO guarantee
