The process of a Home Reno
Mastering a full home reno in Auckland involves far more than just “swinging a hammer”; it requires a high level of technical specialization and financial transparency. At Retro Construction, we leverage over 30 years of industry experience to transform your space, focusing on Traditional Experience and Modern Style.
Here is how we ensure your home reno is a successful, stress-free investment:
1. Professional Estimation and “P&G” Transparency
One of the most significant causes of anxiety during a home reno is the “budget blowout”. To combat this, our in-house estimator and designer follow NZIQS (New Zealand Institute of Quantity Surveyors) protocols, ensuring our quotes are based on industry-wide ethical standards rather than guesswork. We are upfront about Preliminaries and General (P&G) costs—the essential operating expenses for a safe and compliant site—which typically range from 11% to 15% of the total contract.
2. Visualising the “Conceptual Finish”
Struggling to imagine how your new layout will look? We use Immediate 3D Visualisation technology to bridge that gap. We can render 3D photos of your existing spaces in seconds, allowing you to see the “conceptual finish” and make design decisions with confidence before construction even begins.
3. Expert Compliance and Insurance Advice
A full home reno must navigate strict New Zealand building codes and the Building Act 2004. We manage the entire documentation process, from building consents to the final Code Compliance Certificate (CCC). Furthermore, we build trust by advising homeowners on the best insurance practices; for example, we recommend that owners arrange their own Contract Works Insurance as an extension of their home policy to avoid builder markups and ensure seamless coverage for both the old and new structures.
4. Craftsmanship in Action
Whether it is restoring a 100-year-old villa by custom-milling weatherboards or executing a modern kitchen strip-out, we focus on structural performance and modern comfort. We treat every site as a “temporary outdoor factory,” where quality assurance and site protection are paramount to preserving your original finishes.
