Our customers have good things to say about 

Mandy Foster

Nothing was too much trouble and we were given everything we wanted. The different trades persons employed did a very good job and were pleasant to have in our home.

Bill and Heather

, Refresh Customer

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.

I was very happy with my project outcome and the step by step process to get there. Thank you to Lawrie, Mandy, and Rob for their support and guidance throughout.

Karen Mac Kenzie

It was a seamless experience from beginning to end.

⁠— 

Jane Rutherford

, Refresh Customer

So glad we went with Mandy Foster and her team. They spoke in terms we understood, considered what we wanted and asked questions to make sure they understood.

We wanted an updated bathroom that felt like it worked for us. We had some definite ideas we wanted to be incorporated – a walk-in shower, colours, good storage - and we got them.

And we had a budget we wanted to stick to.

Mandy and her team organised the tradies, and people came and went without any hitches - from our point of view. They sourced everything but we still feel like it’s our bathroom – the options they showed us were all variations of the things we wanted. And they stuck to our budget.

So happy with the final result. We would definitely use Mandy and her team again – we still have another bathroom to do, and a whole house after that.

The 5-Step Renovation Process

Our design & build process

Refresh®’s process supports a bespoke design and build: a renovation tailored to your lifestyle requirements and taste. Your local renovation consultant will manage every aspect for you - working to keep everything on track.

1

Briefing / Initial Consultation

The first thing your renovation consultant will want to know is what it is that you want to achieve through your home renovation.

2

Concept and Feasibility

With a clear understanding of your renovation goals, your consultant can arrange for an architectural concept to be drawn up.

3

Working Drawings and Costing

Next, working drawings will be developed. These will take into account the engineering, structural, design and aesthetic decisions you have made.

4

Build / Construction Stage

Finally, you get to witness your project transition from the page to your property! Every aspect of the build will be managed for you, allowing you to carry on with your everyday life.

5

Your Finished Renovation

The final stage is for your consultant to ensure that all Council and Code of Compliance documentation is completed. Congratulations – your renovation is complete!

Refresh’s process supports a bespoke design and build: a renovation tailored to your lifestyle requirements and taste. Your local renovation consultant will manage every aspect for you - working to keep everything on track.

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.

Can my designer or contractor get the building permit for my project?

Are you wondering what home renovations require a permit? That all could depend on where you live and the extent of your renovation. Your Renovation Consultant will be able to acquire a building permit for your kitchen, bathroom, home extension, and more.

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. Learn more about how to finance your large-scale home renovation.

Will I be able to live in my home during the complete home renovation?

At Refresh, our Renovation Consultants work to make sure your renovation involves minimal interference with your daily life. However, with a full home renovation you can expect a lot more going on in your house that might require you to find another place to stay during the renovation.

Your Renovation Consultant will be transparent about a timeline and will work to get you back into your home as soon as possible. After all, the benefits from a complete home renovation make the process worth it!

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 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.

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.

Is it worth renovating an old house?

There are two forms of investment used in determining whether or not something is worth doing; time and money. Renovating an old house comes with unique challenges but the end results are often a bespoke design that will be cherished for years to come, making the time investment worth it. And in terms of financial investments, while not guaranteed, a professionally led and executed renovation that takes into account longevity and smart spending can be a great way to increase property value and see a great return on investment. 

At Refresh, we aim to make every renovation as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. This includes working with homeowners to ensure they’re comfortable with both the time and money they are spending on their renovation so they feel renovating their old house is worth it.
