Renovating in Three Kings

Renovating in Three Kings means making 60s and 70s family homes work for today.

Three Kings is a central-isthmus family suburb sitting between Mt Eden and Mt Roskill — mostly 1960s and 70s brick-and-tile family homes, postwar weatherboards, and an increasing number of modern infill builds. As families grow, the original three-bedroom layouts run out of space. We open up the kitchen-living-dining, add a fourth bedroom, modernise bathrooms, and turn tired homes into homes that work for the next decade.

Our Three Kings Services

We renovate Three Kings homes across three core services.

We renovate Three Kings homes across three core services: kitchens, bathrooms, and full home renovations or extensions. Each one is QS-priced before contract, built by our own team, and backed by the Master Builder 10-Year Guarantee.

Kitchen Renovations

Three Kings kitchens we build typically open up the closed-off 60s/70s layout into one big family kitchen-dining-living. Custom joinery, modern appliances, ample storage.

From our portfolio

Opening up a bungalow without losing the character: Simon & Michelle’s open-plan kitchen.

From our recent Auckland portfolio: Simon & Michelle bought a tired bungalow and wanted modern, open-plan living without losing the character. We delivered exactly that.

ServiceKitchen + Open-Plan

OutcomeBright open-plan living

StyleShaker-style

Simon & Michelle wanted to modernise their bungalow without erasing the character. We removed the load-bearing wall using a laminated engineered timber beam, opened the kitchen to the living and dining, and installed a bespoke shaker-style kitchen that matched the bungalow’s detail. The result: light, flow, and a kitchen designed for everyday life and entertaining — all without changing the home’s soul. Council consent, architect, and kitchen designer coordination handled end-to-end.

Renovation FAQs for Three Kings Homeowners

Below are the questions Three Kings homeowners ask us most often about renovating in this part of Auckland.

What does a home renovation cost in Three Kings?

A typical full home renovation in Three Kings runs $4,500–$8,000 per square metre in 2026, depending on whether you’re extending the footprint or working within the existing walls. A kitchen and bathroom refresh costs $80,000–$160,000. AVR provides a fixed-price QS Report before any contract.

Do I need consent to extend a Three Kings home?

Yes — any extension to the footprint requires Auckland Council building consent. Three Kings sits across Mixed Housing Suburban and Mixed Housing Urban zoning, which allows up to two and three storeys respectively subject to height-to-boundary and recession plane rules. AVR handles consent application, drawings, and council liaison end-to-end.

How long does a renovation take in Three Kings?

Most Three Kings renovations take 8–22 weeks on site. A bathroom is 4–6 weeks, a kitchen 6–10 weeks, a full home renovation or extension 14–22 weeks. Add 4–8 weeks before that for design, QS pricing, and Auckland Council building consent.

Do I need consent to renovate my Three Kings home?

Most structural changes, plumbing relocations, kitchen/bathroom rebuilds, and any work touching the building envelope require Auckland Council building consent. Cosmetic-only renovations usually do not. AVR handles the consent application, drawings, and council liaison end-to-end.

Are Three Kings renovations covered by the Master Builder Guarantee?

Yes — every AVR renovation in Three Kings is backed by the Registered Master Builders 10-Year Guarantee, which covers structural defects, weathertightness, and workmanship. We’re also covered by $2 million public liability insurance and full LBP certification.

Can I live in my Three Kings home during the renovation?

For kitchen-only or bathroom-only renovations, yes — we set up a temporary kitchen or alternative bathroom and contain the work zone with dust barriers. For full home renovations or major extensions, most Three Kings homeowners choose to move out for 8–14 weeks. We’ll talk through both options at the consultation.

What style of homes does AVR renovate in Three Kings?

Three Kings’s housing stock is predominantly 1960s and 70s brick-and-tile family homes, with postwar weatherboards in pockets and modern infill near the village. AVR has renovated across the range.

Who is the best renovation builder in Three Kings?

AVR was awarded House of the Year Gold (2025), holds a 4.8-star Google rating across 34 reviews, prices every project through a QS-led 21-section scope before contract, and backs every renovation with the Master Builder 10-Year Guarantee plus $2M public liability insurance. Free 30-minute consultation: 09 393 5658.

Is the same team building my Three Kings home from start to finish?

Yes — AVR is a design-and-build company. One project manager, one contract, one accountable team across design, consent, build, and finish. No subcontracting the whole job to a third party. That’s why our Three Kings clients can ring Simon directly at any stage and get a straight answer.

What renovation gives the best ROI in Three Kings?

On a Three Kings home in 2026, the highest-ROI renovations are: (1) opening up the kitchen-living-dining into one family-friendly space — returns 1.6–1.9× cost; (2) adding a fourth bedroom with ensuite — returns 1.5–1.8×; (3) modernising a tired bathroom — returns 1.3–1.6×.

How does the renovation process actually work with AVR?

Three steps. (1) Free 30-minute on-site consultation — we visit your Three Kings home, listen to what you need, give a rough cost band. (2) QS Report ($500+GST) — our QS prices the full scope across 21 sections so you have a fixed price before any contract. (3) Build — one project manager, weekly updates, council consent handled, delivered on time and on budget under the Master Builder 10-Year Guarantee.

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.

Leah song

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.

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.

Jo Nicoud-Garden

I worked with Simon at Add Value Renovations on a full home renovation and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. The communication was clear, the timeline was realistic, and the quality of the work speaks for itself. Highly recommended.

K Noronha

We have used the services of Add Value Renovations twice over three years, once for bathroom renovations and more recently for our kitchen and deck. The quality of work has always been excellent and any issues that arose were dealt with promptly and professionally.
