You might need to apply for a building consent if you are performing construction work. The following are a few instances of work that needs permission: Any structural construction, such as newly constructed structures, shed-like ancillary buildings, extensions, modifications, and re-piling alterations to the original drainage and piping construction site work Retaining walls that are taller than 1.5 meters, or that have a building or driveway close to the top fences longer than 2.5 meters and fences around any swimming pool pools of water Decks more than 1.5 meters above the ground If in doubt, we advise you to call your local council and explain the nature of your project.

Yes, we have no issues with you buying anything directly from us and having it installed when it's convenient. However, we always advise clients to work with our suppliers because we can handle the logistics, trade prices, and are confident in the quality, and working directly with them makes troubleshooting easier during renovations.

An experienced renovation company will typically have all of its trades set up, along with a network of reliable suppliers. It simply reduces the stress and expense of the restoration significantly. Usually, eight to ten distinct trades are needed to renovate a house; if one of them is unreliable, it will have an impact on all the other trades. Because of this, we are hesitant to complete a renovation if a client wants to hire tradespeople independently.

True, there are a lot of builders in Christchurch, but Christchurch Renovation Specialists goes beyond construction. Our area of expertise is home renovations, which is crucial for turning older buildings into sleek, modern residences. We handle all aspects of the renovation process, including design, architect consultation, consents, supplier communication, and logistics.

A kitchen makeover will typically take five to six weeks from the date of demolition, assuming that the design has been finalized and the materials are sourced.

A bathroom remodeling typically takes three to four weeks from the date of demolition; however, if consent is required, this time frame may extend.

Determine precisely what has to be done first, and ask your renovation builder to provide you with a comprehensive scope of work. Check lists are highly helpful in simplifying the procedure if you don't already know what to do; otherwise, it might get overwhelming. Online check lists abound (e.g., how to choose a builder).

Complete Christchurh home renovations often take three to six months, depending on the extent, complexity, and scale of the work.
