Guy and his team have worked on two renovations for us and both have been hassle free thanks to their professionalism, consideration and can-do attitude. Genuinely helpful, adaptable in their work and very tidy! A real pleasure to deal with, we wouldn't use anyone else for our building work.

The first thing your renovation consultant will want to know is what it is that you want to achieve through your home renovation.

Scoping and Feasibility

With a clear understanding of your renovation goals, your consultant can arrange for an architectural concept to be drawn up.

Next, working drawings will be developed. These will take into account the engineering, structural, design and aesthetic decisions you have made.

Build Stage

Finally, you get to witness your project transition from the page to your property! Every aspect of the build will be managed for you, allowing you to carry on with your everyday life.

Frequently asked questions

Are there financing options available for large-scale home renovations?

Home renovation costs add up quickly, especially when you are working on your whole home. To help ease the entire house renovation cost, there are plenty of financing options available including bank loans and finance company loans. Refresh Renovations works closely with financial providers to give homeowners the best solutions for their unique home renovation needs. Learn more about how to finance your large-scale home renovation.

Can you work with different budgets for bathroom renovations in New Zealand?

Refresh Renovations offers flexible options when it comes to delivering a bathroom renovation project, catering to the specific needs and preferences of their clients. They understand that different individuals have different priorities, and thus they provide two distinct approaches: working to a budget or working to a brief.

For clients who have a specific budget, Refresh Renovations diligently works within those financial constraints, optimising resources and providing cost-effective solutions while still delivering a high-quality outcome. On the other hand, for clients who have a clear vision or specific requirements for their bathroom renovation, Refresh Renovations works closely with them to understand their brief and brings that vision to life. They collaborate closely throughout the process, ensuring that every detail is executed precisely as per the client's specifications.

Whether it's adhering to a budget or realizing a specific vision, Refresh Renovations is dedicated to providing personalised solutions that result in a stunning and customised bathroom renovation.

Do I need a building consent for a new bathroom?

In New Zealand, the need for a building consent for a new bathroom largely depends on the extent of the work involved and the specific regulations of the local council. Generally, if your bathroom renovation involves structural changes, plumbing alterations, or electrical work, it is likely that you will require a building consent. This is because these changes may affect the safety, durability, and compliance of the building. It is important to consult with your local council or a qualified professional, such as a building inspector or architect, who can provide accurate guidance based on the specific details of your project and the local regulations.

Your renovation consultant at Refresh can take care of these checks on your behalf during the Working Drawings and Costing stage of the process. They will be able to assess whether a building consent is required and guide you through the process to ensure compliance with New Zealand's building standards.

Can my designer or contractor get the building permit for my project?

Are you wondering what home renovations require a permit? That all could depend on where you live and the extent of your renovation. Your Renovation Consultant will be able to acquire a building permit for your kitchen, bathroom, home extension, and more.

Can you help with the design and selection of materials for a bathroom renovation?

Refresh Renovations’s unique process is designed to help you with every stage of the process, right from the planning, through design including selection of materials and finally the build.

How long does house renovation take?

The timeline for your home renovation depends largely on the amount of work that needs to be done and the availability of materials. Successful home improvement projects require ample planning, which adds a bit of time to the process but pays dividends down the road.

In terms of timeline by room, kitchens and bathrooms often take longer to renovate due to the extra plumbing and electrical requirements. Get in touch with a home renovation consultant at Refresh to talk about a time frame for your next home reno.

What permits and regulations do I need to be aware of for a kitchen renovation?

There are several regulations to bear in mind when renovating your kitchen. This includes measures to take in order to prevent excessive moisture, fire hazards, and more. Your Renovation Consultant is responsible for obtaining all necessary permits for your specific project.

What do I need to consider before starting an apartment renovation in New Zealand?

Your Renovation Consultant will be able to guide you through the entire process, so don’t worry too much if you’re not sure what to focus on. However, it’s helpful to form a foundation before getting started. Gather an overview of how much you’re comfortable spending, a list of must-haves vs. nice-to-haves, and a few goals for your renovation.

When drawing inspiration from other apartment renovation ideas, make sure you’re not comparing apples and oranges. For example, design principles of a loft apartment and a 2-bedroom apartment may not be transferable. So if you have a studio apartment, try searching for small apartment designs. This way, the results are more likely to be realistic for your space.

What factors should I consider when planning a bathroom renovation?

If you’re thinking about renovating your bathroom, ask yourself the following questions: ‍

What design style are you drawn to? (e.g. minimalist, modern, classic)
Have you considered a budget? Do you need to talk to a bank or mortgage broker about finance?
Have you checked your calendar for the most convenient time of year to renovate your bathroom?
If you have only one bathroom in your house, have you considered an alternative solution whilst the bathroom is undergoing the renovation?
How much space is there to work with, do you need to extend or is there sufficient space available to achieve what you are looking for?
How much storage is required?Having this information ready will make it that much easier to plan your bathroom remodelling project with our team.
