Buildingworks will work with your vision to help create the home you dream about. We can visualise how your project will look and share design ideas, making suggestions about alternative options you may not have considered.

Love your current house and it’s location, but it just isn’t big enough anymore? Whether you already have the plans drawn up, or if you’re at the stage where you want to know if it’s even feasible, we can meet with you to discuss your house extension project and to give you an idea of the cost.

My old kitchen needs re-doing, can you offer any cost saving ideas to do this?2025-11-24T16:45:56+13:00

Since kitchens are all so different we would need to visit site to view the current kitchen and discuss your design ideas. There are ways that a new look can be achieved by only replacing a few things in your kitchen to refresh the look.

I would like to add another two bedrooms and an ensuite plus extend the lounge onto our current house. Do you complete this sort of work and what is the process involved?2025-11-24T16:46:38+13:00

The Buildingworks team are very experienced with home renovations and extensions and would be happy to discuss your ideas with you. The process is detailed above in The Renovation Process.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Alistair

We recently replaced our entire kitchen and carried out bathroom renovations. Buildingworks was recommended to us by the kitchen designers to carry out all the preparation work and other aspects of the renovation. We were very happy with the work they did and as there were several different trades involved, it was a great relief not to have to engage them all ourselves and then project manage their work. Brendan organised all of that and made sure they all turned up when they were supposed to and did whatever they needed to do to allow the next stage of the work to be completed – that removed a lot of potential stress for us. The tradesmen were all skilled professionals and we were very pleased with the quality of their work. Brendan even sent someone along to clean and tidy our house at the end of the project – a nice touch! We would have no hesitation in recommending Buildingworks for renovation projects.

Brendon and the rest of the team at Buildingworks did a fantastic job on the renovation of our 1912 bungalow.  Brendon communicated well with us throughout the project, so there were no surprises on completion.  Brendon’s knowledge and experience, as well as the capabilities of the rest of his team enabled the project to run smoothly and be completed on time.  We are extremely happy with our renovation, we would definitely use them again for any future building projects – big or small.

Claire

Buildingworks built and project managed the extension and renovation of our 1950’s home. We were impressed with their professionalism, expertise and dedication to quality. The demolition of some of the house had commenced before cyclone Gabrielle arrived and the team made sure the house was stable and we felt safe living in the house through the storm. Communication was strong, keeping us informed at every stage and promptly addressing any issues as they arose. Overall we are very happy with the results delivered by Buildingworks.
