How much will the renovation cost?
The cost of a renovation depends on various factors, including the scope of the project, materials used, labour costs, and any unforeseen issues that may arise during the process.
We encourage a couple of quotes to be sourced before signing our agreement, as we are confident that we are priced very competitively in the Auckland market and we want you to feel comfortable that you are getting great value in your renovation comparatively to other companies.
How long will the renovation take?
The duration of a renovation project can vary significantly based on its complexity and size. A small renovation might take a week to a few weeks, while larger projects could take several months. Pro Reno provide comprehensive project timelines for larger jobs and will manage all subcontractors to ensure the project stays on schedule.
Do I need consent for the renovation?
Some renovations require concepts from local authorities. The need for consents depends on the type of work being done and local building regulations. Here at Pro Reno Ltd we are very experienced and knowledgeable about the necessary consents required for each step of your renovation project and can guide you through the process.
Can I live in the house during the renovation?
It depends on the extent of the renovation. For smaller projects, it's often possible to live in the house, but for major renovations that involve significant disruptions or structural changes, it may be better to find alternative accommodation during the construction phase.
What materials should I use for the renovation?
The choice of materials depends on the renovation goals, budget, and personal preferences. Here at Pro Reno Ltd we can recommend suitable materials based on their durability, aesthetics, and functionality and source these for you.
Will I be able to make changes during the renovation?
Minor changes might be possible during the early stages of the renovation, but significant alterations once construction has begun can lead to delays and additional costs. It's crucial to finalize plans before starting the work. Any major changes can be discussed as required, but please be aware a contract addendum may be required if the cost will be impacted greatly to ensure there are no surprises.
How can I ensure the renovation stays on schedule?
Effective communication with our director Kurt is key to keeping the project on track. Pro Reno Ltd will manage all renovation timelines as part of their project management service, these timelines are frequently shared with our clients to ensure transparency and updates throughout the project.
How can I ensure the renovation meets my expectations?
Clearly communicating your vision and preferences to us at all stages of our journey is crucial. Regular site visits and progress meetings can help ensure the renovation aligns with your expectations.
