How much will my villa renovation cost in Auckland?

Our Auckland Central teams have carried out villa modernisations and restoration projects ranging from $100,000 - $500,000* in cost. An important thing to note when renovating old villas is that older homes tend to come with an additional amount of repair work - and this will add to costs. 

Another aspect to keep in mind is that you might not necessarily need to renovate every area of your home at once. If you are working within a limited budget, your Renovation Consultant will work with you to help you figure out your priorities and create a renovation plan that is practical to you and your lifestyle. For a cost estimate accurate to your ideas, please get in touch.

Bungalow Renovation Cost in Auckland Central

The cost to renovate your bungalow can vary depending on a number of factors. These historic homes can come with some of the issues we outlined earlier in the article, so be aware of potential issues with insulation, foundation, and electrical wiring that could arise.

This 1930s Sandringham bungalow was already in great shape and did not require repairs. Rather, the homeowner prioritised premium materials, modern appliances, spacious outdoor deck, and custom cabinets and wardrobes for a price that came to $225,000.

Chiraag (Corey) Rambhai

Corey and his team were fantastic to deal with from start to finish. The renovation service was professional, and was well laid out and managed through online software. Renovating in an apartment comes with it's barriers and obstacles, which we were all collectively able to overcome. Was kept informed with the project throughout. We renovated a floor, laundry room, wardrobe and sun seat. Would recommend anyone to use Corey and his team for any mid to large renovation projects.

Guy and his team have worked on two renovations for us and both have been hassle free thanks to their professionalism, consideration and can-do attitude. Genuinely helpful, adaptable in their work and very tidy! A real pleasure to deal with, we wouldn't use anyone else for our building work.

What Chiraag (Corey) Rambhai’s customers say about working with Refresh Renovations®

Frequently asked questions

Do Renovation Consultants work with specific contractors or can I choose my own?

Working with a Renovation Consultant means you’ll have access to a trusted network of contractors and suppliers in your area. But if you have a contractor already in mind, bring them up with your Renovation Consultant and they can work with them as well.

How long does a bathroom renovation usually take?

The duration of a bathroom renovation project can vary greatly depending on a number of factors such as the scope of the project and the specific circumstances of the remodel. A minor remodel that involves primarily cosmetic changes such as painting, replacing fixtures, or updating the lighting could take a few days to a week to complete. However, a major bathroom renovation that involves significant changes to the layout or requires extensive plumbing or electrical work could take several weeks or even months to complete. During our working drawings and costing stage of our bespoke 5-step process, we will work with you to prepare a gantt chart showing expected timeline for your bathroom remodelling project.

Can you work with different budgets for bathroom renovations in New Zealand?

Refresh Renovations offers flexible options when it comes to delivering a bathroom renovation project, catering to the specific needs and preferences of their clients. They understand that different individuals have different priorities, and thus they provide two distinct approaches: working to a budget or working to a brief.

For clients who have a specific budget, Refresh Renovations diligently works within those financial constraints, optimising resources and providing cost-effective solutions while still delivering a high-quality outcome. On the other hand, for clients who have a clear vision or specific requirements for their bathroom renovation, Refresh Renovations works closely with them to understand their brief and brings that vision to life. They collaborate closely throughout the process, ensuring that every detail is executed precisely as per the client's specifications.

Whether it's adhering to a budget or realizing a specific vision, Refresh Renovations is dedicated to providing personalised solutions that result in a stunning and customised bathroom renovation.

What is project management in a home renovation, and what are the benefits?

Project management in a home renovation involves overseeing every stage of your project, from concept to completion. At Refresh Renovations we handle all aspects, including planning, budgeting, contractor coordination, and council approvals. The benefits of professional project management include:

  • A streamlined process with a single point of contact.
  • Cost control and reduced risk of budget overruns.
  • Quality assurance through vetted contractors and suppliers.

Timely completion with minimized disruptions.

Why should I use project management for my renovation?

Using professional project management ensures a stress-free renovation experience. Our structured process reduces unexpected costs, delays, and miscommunication between different trades. By choosing Refresh Renovations, you gain access to a dedicated team that handles all logistics, ensuring your renovation stays on track.

How long does the council approval process take for my renovation?

The time required for council approval varies depending on the scope and complexity of your renovation. Simple renovations may take a few weeks, while larger projects, such as home extensions or structural changes, may take several months. Our team at Refresh Renovations will manage the process for you, ensuring all documentation is correctly submitted to avoid delays.

How long will my home renovation take?

The timeline for your renovation depends on several factors, including the size of the project, complexity, and council approvals. Generally, smaller renovations (e.g., bathroom or kitchen upgrades) may take 4-8 weeks, while larger renovations (e.g., full home renovations or extensions) can take several months. We provide a detailed timeline before starting, so you know what to expect.

What is a concept design, and why is it important?

A concept design is the initial stage of your renovation, where we outline your vision, layout, and key design elements. It includes sketches, mood boards, and preliminary plans, helping you visualize the end result. This phase ensures your renovation aligns with your needs, budget, and compliance requirements before committing to construction.

How can I minimise variations and unexpected costs during my renovation?

To reduce variations and unexpected costs, thorough planning is essential. The best ways to mitigate changes include:

  • Clearly defining the project scope and design upfront.
  • Using detailed plans and specifications before construction begins.
    Ensuring accurate budgeting and contingency planning.
  • Working with a trusted renovation specialist like Refresh Renovations, who provides a structured and managed process.

Why is there so much planning required before starting my renovation?

Extensive planning ensures a smoother renovation process with fewer surprises. Proper planning allows for:

  • Accurate budgeting and reduced risk of cost overruns.
  • Compliance with building regulations and council requirements.
  • A well-coordinated construction phase with minimal delays.
  • By investing time in the planning stage, we help you achieve the best results with minimal stress.
