More Than Renovation Design

Renovation design involves much more than choosing colours, materials and finishes. It requires careful consideration of your existing home, how you want to use the space, what is structurally possible and how your plans align with your available budget.

Your Hawke’s Bay Renovation Consultant can help you:

• Define your renovation goals and priorities
• Explore layout and design possibilities
• Assess the feasibility of your ideas
• Establish an appropriate project budget
• Coordinate architectural designers, engineers and other specialists
• Arrange concept plans and detailed working drawings
• Guide material, fixture and finish selections
• Coordinate building consent requirements where needed
• Obtain accurate quotes from trusted trades and suppliers
• Manage the construction process through to completion

This joined-up approach means the design is developed with the practical requirements of the build in mind.

Renovation Design Tailored to Your Home

Every renovation begins with a different property, budget and set of priorities. Rather than applying a standard solution, we work with you to understand what you want to achieve and develop a renovation plan around your needs.

You may already have a clear vision for your home, or you may need help working out what is possible. Either way, we can guide you through the decisions involved and bring in the right design expertise for your particular project.

Depending on the scope, this may include architectural design, structural engineering, kitchen or bathroom design, interior design, lighting plans, landscaping or specialist technical advice.

Our Renovation Design and Build Process

1. Initial Consultation

Your renovation begins with a conversation about your home, ideas, priorities, preferred timeframe and budget. We’ll discuss what you want to change and identify the next steps required to explore the project properly.

2. Scoping and Feasibility

We assess the existing property and investigate the practical requirements of your proposed renovation. This may include reviewing planning restrictions, potential consent requirements, structural considerations and indicative costs.

3. Concept Design

Once the scope has been established, we coordinate the appropriate design professionals to develop concepts and layouts for your home. You’ll have the opportunity to review the plans, provide feedback and refine the design before progressing.

4. Detailed Planning and Costing

Following concept approval, we can coordinate detailed drawings, engineering and consent documentation where required. We also work with trades and suppliers to develop a clear scope of work and accurate project costing.

5. Construction

When the plans, pricing and approvals are in place, our team manages the renovation build. Your Renovation Consultant remains your main point of contact and coordinates the trades, suppliers, programme and day-to-day delivery of the project.

6. Completion

At the end of the build, we complete the final checks and coordinate the relevant project documentation. Then it’s time for you to enjoy your newly renovated home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an architect or renovation designer?

The right design professional will depend on the size and complexity of your renovation. Some projects may only require straightforward plans, while extensions, structural alterations and major renovations may need architectural and engineering input.

Your Renovation Consultant can assess the project and coordinate the appropriate professionals for you.

Can you help if I don’t know exactly what I want?

Yes. Many homeowners begin with a problem they want to solve rather than a finished design. We can help clarify your priorities, explore different layouts and determine which ideas best suit your home, lifestyle and budget.

Can you manage both the design and the building work?

Yes. Refresh Renovations provides an end-to-end renovation service. We can coordinate design, planning, pricing, consent requirements, construction and completion, giving you one main point of contact throughout the project.

Can you help with interior selections?

Yes. Depending on your project, we can help coordinate the selection of materials, colours, fixtures, fittings and finishes. Where more detailed interior design assistance is required, we can bring the appropriate specialists into the project.

Will my renovation require building consent?

Not every renovation requires building consent, but projects involving structural work, extensions, plumbing changes and certain alterations often do. We can help identify the likely requirements and coordinate the relevant plans, specialist reports and council documentation.

Which areas do you service?

Our team works with homeowners throughout Hawke’s Bay, including Napier, Hastings, Havelock North, Taradale, Ahuriri, Clive, Haumoana, Waipawa, Waipukurau and surrounding areas.
