Smart Home Extension adds value and space

retro construction home extension

Today, we’re resharing this highlight as our most recent project was completed for a client who preferred not to have any photos shared publicly, but don’t be concerned, we’re also currently working on two other larger projects. One is a restoration where the visual changes aren’t easily captured in photos, making it less ideal to post. The other is being kept under wraps for now—we’re excited to reveal it soon through a episode series we’ll be producing. Stay tuned, we can’t wait to share it with you!

The transformation in this video is truly remarkable, and this remains one of our favourite projects to date. The client was great to work with, which made the experience even more rewarding.

Expanding Horizons: Why a Home Extension with Retro Construction is Your Best Investment in Auckland

In the dynamic housing market of Auckland, New Zealand, maximising the potential of your current property through an extension or conversion is often the smartest choice for increasing space and value. Retro Construction specialises in providing Quality Building Solutions, offering expert services in Additions & Conversions, Renovations, Reclads, and more. If you are contemplating expanding your footprint, whether it’s adding an extra bedroom, a modern kitchen extension, or converting unused space, our 30 years of industry experience ensures we deliver high quality projects tailored to your needs.

Designing for Tomorrow: Future-Proofing Your Addition

The foundation of a successful home extension lies in meticulous planning. At Retro Construction, we offer an all-inclusive service package designed to make dealing with us a real pleasure, thanks to helpful, friendly, and respectful communication. Before a single nail is driven, we focus on proper upfront project planning, which is essential for good project management, guaranteeing we stay on budget and on schedule.

We distinguish ourselves by employing a practical and creative designer. This designer possesses a keen eye for detail and the ability to foresee issues, allowing us to future proof the design. This focus on practical design has proven incredibly valuable to clients, as demonstrated in past projects where we were able to suggest ideas on how to improve on existing plans and accommodate specific living situations, such as working around a family with a newborn baby. Our planning process also includes comprehensive documentation management, handling crucial aspects like relevant council requirements, either by working with your existing service providers or including our own. Furthermore, we provide a professional and detailed quotation, which is prepared by a construction estimator, helping to ensure that the initial costs detailed are accurate and that no extras have to be charged for afterwards, as experienced by clients in the past.

Excellence in Execution: Quality Staff and Workmanship

When you undertake a major project like a home extension or conversion, you require confidence in the team managing the build. We pride ourselves on the fact that our staff are all highly qualified builders or tradesmen. We commit to offering only the best materials and workmanship, ensuring your new space blends seamlessly with your existing home while embracing a Traditional Experience/Modern Style.

Our commitment to execution also means ensuring a high standard of safety, as we follow a clear process for Health & Safety for projects. We believe that high quality should also come with value, and we offer competitive pricing for all your projects, working hard to ensure the project is completed within budget and time. In fact, we have been highly recommended for our integrity in executing jobs, and for maintaining strict budgets, providing transparency and preventing surprises at the end of the project.

Proven Results in Auckland Additions

Retro Construction has a strong track record of successful extensions and conversions, ranging from major structural overhauls to smaller, yet impactful additions. We have assisted clients with comprehensive projects, such as a living room extension with a wrap around deck, handling the entire process from architectural designs and consent application to the build and the final follow-up on the code of compliance. Throughout this process, we kept the client well informed with everything that was happening.

Beyond typical additions, we also excel in functional conversions. One notable example includes the transformation of a garage into a granny flat. The client reported that the final result didn’t look like a flat at all once done, utilizing high end finishes. The project was completed within a reasonable budget and at a good speed, making the new space highly desirable and easy to rent out.

Whether your goal is a large-scale structural addition or a smaller interior renovation, Retro Construction’s dedicated team, known for being genuine, friendly, and reliable, is ready to provide the Quality Building Solutions you need.
