FAQs

Do I need a building consent for my Auckland home renovation?

It depends on the scope. Many structural changes, plumbing alterations, and additions over a certain size require building consent from Auckland Council. We assess consent requirements as part of every project and support you through the application process.

How much does a home renovation cost in Auckland?

Costs vary significantly based on the scope of work, materials chosen, and the condition of your existing home. A single-room renovation might start from $30,000–$50,000, while full-house transformations can run well into six figures. We provide detailed, itemised quotes so you know exactly what you're paying for.

How long does a home renovation take?

Smaller renovations can be completed in 4–8 weeks. Larger whole-house renovations or those requiring council consent typically take 3–6 months. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout.

Can I live in my home during the renovation?

Often yes, depending on the scope. We plan the work sequentially to minimise disruption and keep your home liveable where possible. For major structural work, temporary relocation may be advisable — we'll discuss this honestly during planning.
