Why the traditional renovation approach fails Aucklanders
Most homeowners start by hiring an architect, fall in love with the vision, then discover the build cost is far beyond budget. Our One-Team Approach makes sure design and real-world pricing happen together from day one.
Three trades. Three handovers. Three sets of problems.
- Hire an architect to create a design
- Fall in love with the vision
- Then get pricing from builders
- Realise the cost is far more than expected
- Redesign from scratch (and pay again) — or abandon the project entirely
The plan was never built around real-world costs.
One team. One plan. One price.
- Design with a Quantity Surveyor at the table from day one
- Architectural vision and real cost planning happen together
- Our build team reviews the design early — no surprises
- Every detail is scoped, priced and ready to execute
- What we design is what you can actually build
What we design is what you get — on time and on budget.
The result: a renovation delivered on time, on budget, with no surprises
You get a smart, complete renovation plan that’s ready to move forward — not just sit on paper.
Designer. Quantity Surveyor. Master Builder. One Team.

We don’t just update finishes — we rethink layouts, improving flow, functionality, and how your family lives every day. Better sightlines. Better movement. Better use of light.

What our customers say
Real Google reviews from Auckland families we’ve worked with.
We loved working with Simon and the team at Add Value Renovations. Add Value’s project manager Tim, and interior designer Joanna, had excellent communication throughout the entire process. The quality of the workmanship was top-notch and they completed our bungalow renovation on time and on budget.
Simon and Joanna of Add Value Renovations planned and completed our en-suite upgrade. We are entirely happy with the finished product and the service and care they provided. He is a good man, honest, reliable, and easy to work with. The attention to detail and quality of the finish was outstanding.
Had the pleasure of using Simon and his team on a garage conversion project. Simon made the planning and building process easy and his team were professional in their approach. It was a project that was on time and budget. Have no problem recommending Add Value Renovations for your next project.
Simon and his team have completed two pieces of work at my home, the renovation of the main bathroom and an update of the kitchen. Both projects were completed to a very high standard. The team was professional, tidy, and communicative throughout.
Auckland home renovation questions, answered
The questions Auckland homeowners ask us most often — answered honestly. Still have one? Book a free consultation.
How much does a home renovation cost in Auckland?
Auckland home renovations in 2026 typically range from $3,500 to $7,500 per square metre depending on scope and finish level. A kitchen renovation sits at $35K–$60K, a bathroom $25K–$40K, and a full home renovation $400K–$900K for a 150–200m² house. See our full Auckland renovation cost guide for line-by-line breakdowns.
How long does a full home renovation take in Auckland?
Plan for 9–18 months end to end. Design and consent typically takes 3–5 months, construction another 4–9 months depending on scope. Heritage homes and major structural work sit at the longer end. We give you a milestone schedule before contract sign-off so there are no surprises.
Do I need a building consent for my renovation?
Most renovations that change structure, plumbing, drainage, or building envelope need a building consent from Auckland Council. Cosmetic work (paint, finishes, like-for-like joinery) usually doesn’t. We handle the entire consent process for you — from PIM to CCC.
What’s a design-and-build renovation?
Design-and-build means one team handles design, pricing, and construction under a single contract. You don’t manage handovers between architect, QS, and builder — they all work together from day one. That’s the Add Value approach, and it’s the difference between a plan that gets built and one that sits on paper.
What’s the difference between a renovation and an extension?
A renovation reworks the existing footprint — new kitchen, new bathrooms, new layout within the current walls. An extension adds new floor area to the home — rear extension, second storey, master suite add-on. Most full home projects combine both.
Should I renovate my Auckland home or rebuild?
Renovating usually makes financial sense when your home’s structure, location, and bones are sound — Auckland’s character villas and 1950s–80s homes are prime candidates. Rebuilding wins when foundations are failing, the layout fundamentally doesn’t work, or your section warrants a much larger home. Our designer can walk you through it in a free consultation.
Do you work in my Auckland suburb?
Yes — we renovate homes across all of Auckland, from the central isthmus (Remuera, Ponsonby, Mt Eden, Epsom) to the eastern bays, North Shore, west and south. See the full list below or get in touch with your address.
What does the 10-Year Master Build Guarantee cover?
The Master Build 10-Year Guarantee covers loss of deposit, non-completion, defects in materials and workmanship, and structural defects for 10 years from project completion. It’s only available through Registered Master Builders — which we are.
When’s the best time to start an Auckland renovation?
There’s no single best month — Auckland’s mild climate means construction runs year-round. The real driver is your design and consent timeline: starting design now means breaking ground 4–6 months later. If you want to be in your new home for next Christmas, start the conversation by autumn.
Can we live in our home during the renovation?
For partial renovations (kitchen-only, single bathroom) — yes, with some disruption. For full home renovations and major extensions, most families move out temporarily. We’ll discuss this honestly in your consultation and plan staging around your situation.
