Clear communication. Our project management system gives you, your consultant and the trades instant updates, so everyone knows what's happening and when.

Trusted local builders. Your consultant works with a team of skilled Waikato builders and trades they know and trust.

Planning done properly. We put the work in early so the details are right before construction begins, which means fewer surprises later.

What Waikato Homeowners Are Renovating

Warmth and comfort are high on the list for a lot of Waikato homeowners. Insulation, double glazing and heat pumps are often the first upgrades, especially in older homes that can be cold and damp through winter.

Beyond that, many people are restoring older bungalows and villas while bringing the inside up to date with modern kitchens, better bathrooms and more open living spaces.

The Best Ways to Add Value to Your Home

It's one of the questions we're asked most often. Here are our top three:

Upgrade your bathroom. New fixtures and fittings, a better layout and a fresh design can make a big difference to how buyers see your home.

Renovate your kitchen. The kitchen is the heart of the home, and a new layout, modern design and updated appliances add strong appeal.

Add more living space. A kitchen extension, garage conversion or loft conversion can give you the extra room you need. We'll look at your current layout and what you need to find the best option.

How Much Does a Renovation Cost in the Waikato?

Costs depend on the scope of work, the size of your home, your material choices and labour. Here are two recent examples:

• This small bathroom renovation cost a newly retired homeowner around $35,700, including asbestos removal that wasn't expected.
• This Flagstaff home had its kitchen and bathrooms fully transformed with a design-led approach, including vertical timber panelling under the kitchen bar and a freestanding bath in the family bathroom. The project cost $199,000.

Our 5-Step Renovation Process

1. Initial consultation. Share your ideas, goals and budget. Your consultant will help shape them to suit your property.

2. Concept design. Your ideas are turned into concept drawings so you can see what's possible and make changes early.

3. Detailed planning. Concepts become working drawings, and you receive a fixed quote and contract. This is the best time to make any final changes.

4. Construction. Your consultant manages every part of the build and keeps it on track, on time and on budget.

5. Completion. We handle the council paperwork and provide your Code Compliance Certificate. Your renovation is officially done.
