Transforming homes for growing families: Allison’s story in the Gardens

Allison and her family purchased their home in The Gardens a few years back, but as their family grew to five, they realised that their three-bedroom home was no longer adequate.

They faced the dilemma of moving out or adding an extra bedroom to their house. However, they had difficulty finding the right builder to help them manage the project and obtain the necessary building consent.

The Challenges

Finding the right builder turned out to be more challenging than they had anticipated. Alison reached out to several builders, hoping to find someone who could understand their needs and bring their vision to life. Unfortunately, each builder they spoke to provided vastly different quotes, often with little detail to explain the costs. This left Alison feeling uncertain and frustrated, as she struggled to make sense of the varying estimates and ensure they were getting a fair deal.

The real hurdle was finding a trustworthy builder who could manage their project with transparency and professionalism. With so much of their family savings at stake, Alison needed someone who not only promised but delivered. Moreover, they needed experts who could guide them through the maze of obtaining building consent and executing the renovation smoothly. The lack of clear, consistent information made the whole process feel overwhelming, and Alison worried about whether their dream of a more spacious home would ever come true.

Before & After

Drag the slider and see the transformation!

Before the renovation, Allison’s home was a standard three-bedroom house that lacked the space needed for a growing family. The rooms were small, and there was no additional space to add another bedroom.

However, after the renovation, their home was transformed into a spacious and functional living area that met all their needs. The extra bedroom provided the much-needed space for their growing family, and the new design added value to their home.​

We are so happy with the way everything turned out; it has made a huge difference in our lives.

We finally feel like we’re coming home now!

Just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for the outstanding work you've done! A ext. renovation done by Add Value was truly a remarkable transformation. The kitchen and bathroom designs are not only aesthetically stunning but also highly functional. It's evident that a lot of thought and care went into every detail.
