For Auckland homeowners with consented plans
Your consent approves the design. It doesn’t guarantee a well-run build.
Before you choose your builder, see how AVR controls the scope, programme, communication and quality of a renovation from day one to handover.

View all projectsFive questions to ask before choosing a builder
A quote tells you the price. These answers tell you how the build will feel.
AVR gives you clear answers before construction, then keeps them visible throughout the job.
Who will manage my job day to day?
A named project manager coordinates the site, programme, trades, updates and quality—with Simon retaining overall accountability.
Can I see a realistic programme before work starts?
Your live programme shows the sequence, inspections, decisions and changes rather than leaving the schedule inside someone’s head.
Where will updates and decisions be recorded?
Photos, site updates, messages, documents, selections and approvals stay connected to one project record.
How will changes be explained, priced and approved?
Variations are documented and approved before they become unexpected work on your account.
What is checked before the work is covered up?
Inspections, site evidence and quality checks create a visible record of progress and protect the finished result.

Selections, finishes and practical design decisionsOur process for consented plans
A clear path from approved drawings to a well-run build.
You already have consent. AVR’s job is to turn those documents into a complete scope, dependable price, realistic programme and properly managed construction project.
Plans + fit review
We understand the project, intended timing, consent conditions and what still needs resolving before pricing.
Builder leadsQS scope + pricing
Our QS builds the detailed scope, trade pricing, allowances and exclusions needed for a dependable proposal.
Price built properlyPre-start + programme
We lock the contract, decisions, procurement, inspections, responsibilities and construction sequence.
Ready before siteBuild + handover
Your named team manages the site, programme, communication and quality checks through to completion.
10-year guaranteeThe first call is about fit and delivery. If AVR and your project suit each other, the next stage is professional QS-led pre-construction—not a rushed free quote. The fee and deliverables are explained before any work begins, and the pre-construction fee is credited back if AVR builds your project.
Straight advice
Should you speak with AVR?
If everything is already clear
If you trust your builder, understand the scope, have a reliable programme and feel confident about communication, stay the course. We are not here to disrupt a good working relationship.
If something still feels unresolved
- Your quote does not clearly explain the scope
- You do not know who will manage the project
- You cannot see a realistic programme
- You want stronger communication or quality control
- You want to compare how the project would be run—not only the price
