Your Local Wellington Design & Build Specialists

Every home and homeowner is different. That’s why we tailor each renovation to suit your lifestyle, goals and budget. Our approach removes the stress traditionally associated with renovating, giving you:

  • A dedicated renovation consultant
  • Quality design backed by local expertise

From Johnsonville to Lower Hutt, Petone to Karori - we’ve helped homeowners across Wellington create spaces that look great and work even better.

Our Design & Build Process

1. Initial Consultation

We start by understanding what you want to achieve - the style, function, scope and investment. This helps us shape a plan that suits your goals.

2. Concept & Feasibility

Our designers explore layout options, materials, and aesthetics while assessing what’s structurally possible in your home.

3. Detailed Design & Costing

Once you’re confident with the concept, we move into detailed drawings and transparent cost breakdowns so you know exactly what to expect.

4. Construction & Build

Our project management team coordinates all trades, schedules, quality checks and communication. You stay informed while we handle the hard work.

5. Completion & Handover

We walk through the finished space with you to ensure every detail meets the Refresh standard.

Your Style,
Your Budget,
Our Expertise

Refresh®’s process supports a bespoke design and build: a renovation tailored to your lifestyle requirements and taste. Your local Old Home & Villa Renovations renovation consultant will manage every aspect for you - working to keep everything on track.

Step 1

Initial Consultation

The first thing your Old Home & Villa Renovations renovation consultant will want to know is what it is that you want to achieve through your home renovation. In this initial consultation, you can throw all of your ideas on the table - your consultant will then tailor them to your property and budget.

Step 2

Scoping and Feasibility

With a clear understanding of your renovation goals, your Old Home & Villa Renovations consultant can arrange for an architectural concept to be drawn up. This allows your Old Home & Villa Renovations consultant to assess whether or not your ideas are feasible, and allows you to point out any changes you would like in the design - before any work begins.

Step 3

Detailed Planning and Costing

Next, working drawings will be developed. These will take into account the engineering, structural, design and aesthetic decisions you have made. If you would like to make any further changes, now is the time to do so. From there, your Old Home & Villa Renovations consultant will present you with a fixed-quote as well as a contract.

Step 4

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. Your Old Home & Villa Renovations consultant will do everything in their power to keep your project on schedule so that it can be completed within a set timeframe and budget.

Step 5

Project Completion

The final stage is for your local Old Home & Villa Renovations consultant to ensure that all Council documentation is completed and you have the necessary Code of Compliance documentation. Congratulations – your renovation is complete!

Bring your dream renovation to life

Our expert team can manage all aspects of your Old Home & Villa Renovations project from planning to build and everything in between
