The biggest reason renovations go over budget, drag out, or become stressful isn’t usually the design - it’s the project management behind it.

Managing builders, plumbers, electricians, council approvals, timelines, budgets, and quality control across multiple stages takes constant coordination and experience. Without the right systems in place, things can quickly become overwhelming.

That’s where Refresh Renovations North Shore comes in.

Instead of dealing with multiple contractors yourself, you’ll work with one dedicated renovation consultant who manages your project from concept through to completion - keeping everything organised, transparent, and moving forward properly.

A Renovation Process Built Around Project Management

A successful renovation is about far more than just building work. It’s about making sure every moving part works together properly.

Our North Shore team manages:

• Project planning and timelines
• Builder and trade coordination
• Budgets and cost control
• Council consent applications
• Quality control throughout construction
• Communication and progress updates
• Scheduling and procurement

You stay informed throughout the process - without having to chase trades, organise schedules, or problem-solve issues on-site yourself.

What Does a Renovation Cost?

Every renovation is different, but as a general guide:

• Bathrooms from $20,000
• Kitchens from $40,000
• Sleepouts from $30,000
• Extensions and additions from $90,000
• Basement renovations from $70,000

Once we understand your home, goals, and requirements, we provide a fixed quote tailored specifically to your project.

Council Consents? We Handle That Too

For structural renovations, extensions, or projects involving significant alterations, council consent is often required.

Our team manages the consent process on your behalf, including:

• Building consent applications
• Resource consent requirements
• Documentation and plans
• Coordination with consultants and council

Having an experienced team manage this properly can save significant time, stress, and costly mistakes later on.

Renovating Older North Shore Homes

Many North Shore homes come with their own unique opportunities and challenges.

Before any renovation begins, we assess:

• Structural condition
• Weathertightness concerns
• Existing workmanship
• Compliance with current building code requirements

From there, we help develop the right approach - whether that’s restoring original character features, modernising layouts, improving indoor-outdoor flow, or creating more functional family living spaces.

Often, the best renovations combine modern functionality with the character that makes older homes special.
