What granny flat building ideas are currently popular in Ashburton?

That includes open plan living space, often between the kitchen and dining or lounge areas, to encourage natural flow of conversation and engagement.

Another granny flat building idea that’s currently popular in the Ashburton is providing an outdoor patio area, connected to the granny flat itself. This allows for owners and occupiers to enjoy a patch of outdoors that can be accessories with hanging plants, small coffee tables, or herb pots.

What Kaustubh Tamaskar (KT)’s customers say about working with Refresh Renovations®

Frequently asked questions

Can you help with the design and selection of materials for a bathroom renovation?

Refresh Renovations’s unique process is designed to help you with every stage of the process, right from the planning, through design including selection of materials and finally the build.

Do I need to hire a professional designer for my kitchen renovation?

Hiring a professional can help you better understand and plan for your renovation to prevent a budget blow-out. They can bring their expert opinion and provide drawings so that you can envision the renovation and make changes where necessary before any construction begins.

Can full home renovations increase the value of my home in New Zealand?

They most certainly can! When you choose to work with a home renovation design consultant like those at Refresh Renovations, you are opting for a process that helps save you time and money.

Modern design, new fixtures, functional layouts, and sleek finishes make a massive difference to potential homebuyers. Get in touch with a Renovation Consultant today to talk about adding value to your property.

Do you handle all aspects of the bathroom renovation, including plumbing and electrical work?

Refresh Renovations expertly manages all aspects of bathroom renovations, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free experience for their clients. From start to finish, your Refresh team will take care of every detail, including plumbing and electrical work. Their team of skilled professionals possesses extensive knowledge and experience in these fields, guaranteeing that all plumbing and electrical components are handled efficiently and effectively.

Whether it's installing new fixtures, reconfiguring the plumbing layout, or upgrading electrical systems, Refresh Renovations ensures that the entire process is completed to the highest standards, providing clients with a beautifully renovated bathroom that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also fully functional and safe. You can monitor the progress of your renovation through our customer portal app too.

How can I ensure the renovation stays within budget?

Your dedicated Renovation Consultant will help you outline and stay within your budget. They are experts in their field and have a deep understanding of how to best allocate your funds to ensure your project is completed within those set parameters.

Do I need a building consent for a new bathroom?

In New Zealand, the need for a building consent for a new bathroom largely depends on the extent of the work involved and the specific regulations of the local council. Generally, if your bathroom renovation involves structural changes, plumbing alterations, or electrical work, it is likely that you will require a building consent. This is because these changes may affect the safety, durability, and compliance of the building. It is important to consult with your local council or a qualified professional, such as a building inspector or architect, who can provide accurate guidance based on the specific details of your project and the local regulations.

Your renovation consultant at Refresh can take care of these checks on your behalf during the Working Drawings and Costing stage of the process. They will be able to assess whether a building consent is required and guide you through the process to ensure compliance with New Zealand's building standards.

How long does it take to renovate an apartment?

Similar to the cost of an apartment renovation, the timeline depends on the scope. We understand that having part, or all, of your apartment under construction for an unknown period of time is stressful. That’s why scheduling and expectation are discussed early on in our 5-step process. 

Much of the world’s supply chain is still being impacted by COVID but our Renovation Consultants do their best to create a realistic schedule and deliver your project on time. We’ve had homeowners opt to find alternative accommodation during active construction or, if they want to stay in their home, execute their project in phases.

Are your bathroom renovation contractors licensed and insured in New Zealand?

Discuss this with your Renovation consultant during your bathroom renovation consultant, it is important to know upfront what you are getting into rather than finding out when it is too late. Refresh Renovations customers have the option to get a payment protection guarantee from Magenta so they can build with confidence.

Are there financing options available for large-scale home renovations?

Home renovation costs add up quickly, especially when you are working on your whole home. To help ease the entire house renovation cost, there are plenty of financing options available including bank loans and finance company loans. Refresh Renovations works closely with financial providers to give homeowners the best solutions for their unique home renovation needs.
