SHOULD YOU ENGAGE AN ARCHITECT WHEN RENOVATING?
When renovating, there are budgets to set, plans to design, building consents to get, and contractors to hire (and sometimes fire). If you’re thinking about renovating, you may be wondering where to start, who to talk to first and how to get started?
You may have thought about starting by talking to an architect, but you may want to consider that the language of the architect is all about creativity, not costs. Likewise, the language of the trades is entirely about practical installation and does not consider design.
The Renovation Architect/Specialist balances the homeowner's requirements of aesthetics and construction cost and communicates this to the designers, engineers, builders and sub trades. This balancing has to go on from the initial concept and feasibility stage, through the detailed design and costing and finally throughout the construction phase. Design, cost and quality decisions are constantly being made and traded off.
A Renovation Specialist will make sure the homeowners get what they want with the best design while meeting the agreed budget.
Home Renovation Architects
Many home-owners are choosing to renovate their existing home, rather than opting for the expense and hassle of buying and moving to another house, it's the best of both worlds. You get to retain those aspects you like about your home and your familiar neighbourhood; as well as create exciting new elements of your dream home
Home Extension Architects
Our clients have many reasons for choosing to 'up-size' their home. Many are looking for more space for a growing family. Others want to add value by adding some extra space. Whether it's adding an extra bedroom, a second storey, or a complete house extension – we have experienced home renovation builders, designers and project managers to make it happen.
Kitchen Renovation Architects
Renovating a cramped kitchen can make such a difference to daily living. Not only does a modern kitchen make meal preparation easier, but it also makes entertaining more enjoyable and that's not to mention the capital value it adds to your home. Our renovation builders will help you design the layout, and source the very best cabinetry and fit-out – including all-important appliances. The group buying power of Refresh means you'll receive the best quality materials for your budget.
Bathroom Renovation Architects
As most bathrooms have space restrictions, clever design is crucial. Our expert designers will help you create a bathroom that combines style with the ultimate functionality. What's more, our design process lets you envisage exactly how it will work. This helps you get the little things right - whether it's the height of the shower, the way the doors open, or the position of the hand-basin.

Loft/Second-Storey Architects
Home-owners are looking to create more space for a growing family or wants to add value by optimising the use of available space; such as converting a loft, or adding an extra level. These extensions are usually large-scale and daunting renovation projects - But when you partner with Refresh, we'll remove all worries and uncertainty.
Excavation/Basement Architects
With section sizes and lawn space at a premium, plus height and boundary limitations, basement conversions are fast becoming a prefered choice for creating additional living space. In many cases, an existing basement space can be adapted and transformed. If your home does not have an existing basement, earthwork excavation and disposal have to be factored into the project.
Granny Flat Architects
The perfect roof for your home is more than just good looks and affordability. Environmental factors, materials, roof design, durability, and maintenance requirements all need to be considered. If you want the very best outcome, for the best price, you need our team of renovation specialists on your side. We pride ourselves on delivering the very best results for our customers.
Open-Plan Renovation Architects
Is it time to give your home some more 'breathing space'? An open-plan renovation will free up this space - providing more light and giving your house a brand new feel. Maybe you want to enlarge your living spaces, or open up a kitchen and dining area for better flow. Or perhaps you have a small or awkward space that would be better utilised when opened up.
Indoor-Outdoor Flow Renovation
Improving your indoor-outdoor flow will transform the way you live; by creating more space for your family and entertaining. Sometimes all the elements are there, but you just need to improve the layout. This might involve revamping the deck, installing French windows or bi-fold doors to give easier access; or simply creating a more useable patio area.
Re-Cladding And Repainting
A tired exterior significantly lowers the value of a house, even though the interior and location might be very appealing. Add value by recladding your house, and while the cladding is off, you have the opportunity to address other aspects of a renovation (such as insulation, wiring, plumbing etc.) in a much more cost-effective way. In fact, the savings you make on these upgrades can go a long way towards covering the cost of re-cladding.
Re-Roofing Renovation Architects
The perfect roof for your home is more than just good looks and affordability. Environmental factors, materials, roof design, durability, and maintenance requirements all need to be considered. If you want the very best outcome, for the best price, you need our team of renovation builders on your side. Using either licensed building practitioners, master builders or certified builders is a priority for us.
Warm Up Your Home
If your home doesn't have good insulation you're probably spending more than you should to keep your home warm (and those power bills only seem to get bigger). So it's not surprising that more house-owners are looking for better insulations and efficient home heating systems. Not only does it create a warmer, healthier home to live in; it also reduces your ongoing energy costs, and adds value for re-sale.
Cool Down Your Home
From window orientation and size, triple glazing, and air conditioning to ceiling fans, programmable controls and shaded sails, we can find the perfect solution for cooling down your home. For instance, our experts suggest adding permanent outdoor living areas on the northern and western sides of your home with moveable solutions like louvred roofs, retractable awnings, and external shutters.
Outdoor Renovation Architects
Whether you want to create a new outdoor room – or landscape your garden area – the team at Refresh Renovations can help. We have house and landscape designers who can discuss all the options with you. Perhaps you're looking for a new landscaping design and layout that will make maximum use of your garden area. Or maybe you want to adopt the hot trend and create an outdoor room. This will not only give you more living/entertaining space but it will also add value.
When renovating, there are budgets to set, plans to design, building consents to get, and contractors to hire (and sometimes fire). If you're thinking about renovating, you may be wondering where to start, who to talk to first and how to get started?

We’ve completed thousands of renovations of all shapes and sizes, each one deserving the same excellent service that our Refresh clients have come to expect.

We’re here to help at every step along the way, from inspiration and advice to cost-effective solutions and day-saving ideas.
