We renovate Remuera homes across three core services.
We renovate Remuera homes across three core services: kitchens, bathrooms, and full home extensions. Each one is QS-priced before contract, built by our own team, and backed by the Master Builder 10-Year Guarantee. Pick the service that matches your plan — or book a consultation and we’ll help you work out which one.
Kitchen Renovations
Most Remuera kitchen renovations we do are villa kitchen open-plans with heritage detail retained — timber flooring, ceiling roses, period joinery respected while the cooking and living zones finally work for a 2026 family.
Bathroom Renovations
Remuera bathrooms that balance heritage-respectful detail with modern waterproofing, tiling, and joinery. From compact villa ensuites to full family bathroom rebuilds — engineered properly, signed off by council, guaranteed for 10 years.
Full Home & Extensions
Full Remuera villa renovations and rear extensions that open the heart of the home to the garden without flattening the character at the front. QS-priced end-to-end, including consent, structural, and heritage compliance.
The character of a Remuera home is worth preserving. We renovate around it — bringing original beauty and modern living together.
Four reasons Remuera families keep choosing us — and keep sending their friends.
QS-led pricing — no surprises.
We price every Remuera renovation through a 21-section QS scope before contract. What you sign is what you pay. No “variations” to cover budget drift.
Master Builder 10-Year Guarantee.
Every AVR renovation is backed by the Registered Master Builders 10-Year Guarantee. Structural, weathertightness, workmanship — covered for a decade. Plus $2M public liability insurance.
We know Remuera villas.
From Double Grammar Zone bungalows to Victoria Avenue villas — we’ve renovated the housing stock, we know the heritage detail worth saving, and we know how to add value at resale.
One project manager. Weekly updates.
Simon or your dedicated project manager is your single point of contact for the entire build. Weekly site walk-throughs, weekly written updates. You’re never chasing the builder for news.
Backed by our Master Builder 10-Year Guarantee.
Whole house renovation — Remuera.
A Remuera home transformed — a former garage converted into two bedrooms and a bathroom, plus a full kitchen and bathroom renovation.
The downstairs garage had been informally converted before 1990 — still recorded as a garage on council records. We managed the Certificate of Acceptance process end-to-end before consent, then converted the space into two compliant bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The kitchen and bathroom were fully renovated with Melteca burnished wood cabinetry, engineered stone surfaces, Miele appliances, and Hettich hardware. Fixed-price QS scope, delivered to budget.

"Simon and the team renovated our Remuera villa with the care it deserved. The heritage detail we wanted kept was kept, the kitchen finally works for the family, and they came in on the price they quoted. I've recommended them twice already."
