We engaged the services of Sharon Giblett of Refresh Renovations Tauranga for our bathroom, ensuite and toilet renovation. From start to finish the project ran smoothly. Given Omicron landed bang in the middle of our project Sharon’s professionalism, attention to detail, and problem solving ability saw the project completed on time albeit in difficult circumstances which was an exceptional result. We cannot speak highly enough of Sharon and her contractors. The quality of the finished product has exceeded our expectations and helped realise the vision we had for those spaces. Julie and I would not hesitate to recommend others seek Sharon out if you're considering a similar project.

A smoother garage conversion process

We aim to deliver a seamless garage conversion experience for homeowners by utilising our proven 5-step process.

Step 1

Briefing / Initial Consultation

To get started, your Renovation Consultant will conduct an initial consultation to get a clear understanding of your goals, budget, and timeline for your garage conversion. No detail is too small. Your input will shape the final result and make it easier for your Renovation Consultant to suggest clever solutions you may not have considered.

Step 2

Concept and Feasibility

With your expectations laid out, your Renovation Consultant will then arrange for concept designs to be drawn up. These drawings will illustrate what you discussed during your initial consultation and offer an opportunity to make important design decisions without having to use your imagination; it’s right there for you to see. The concept drawings will also be used to determine your project’s feasibility.

Step 3

Working Drawings and Costing

Moving on, concept drawings are transformed into working drawings. These are based on the technical aspects of your design such as architecture, existing conditions, and structural engineering, and determine how your plans will actually be constructed. As the last step of the planning process, now is the ideal time to make any final changes to the design to avoid incurring additional costs and delays once the construction has begun. A fixed quote will be provided for your approval so you know the garage conversion cost before breaking ground.

Step 4

Build / Construction Stage

Now that the plans are finalised, it’s time to watch your garage conversion take shape. We know that having strangers on your property can feel awkward, but the team assembled by your Renovation Consultant is comprised of trusted and experienced professionals who will treat you and your home with respect. Plus, your Renovation Consultant will be there to overcome any obstacles swiftly to ensure your project stays on track.

Step 5

Your Finished Renovation

Before Refresh finalises the project, your Renovation Consultant will provide you with a CCC (Code Compliance Certificate) which states that your garage conversion has been completed up to code, with the necessary documentation to prove it. Now, your garage conversion is complete!
