RENOVATIONS

Wade and the Frontline Builders team absolutely love getting their teeth into a renovation.

Where many builders cringe at the thought of what challenges await behind the demo facade, Wade gets excited! There’s nothing that tests your skills more as a builder than working to ensure the existing structure of a home will be compatible with a new build.

RENOVATION PROCESS

We tend to work with people who are looking to do large scale renovations on their homes – working right through from ideas and concepts to completion and always, with you, every step of the way.

Get in touch. It doesn’t matter what stage of the project you are at, we will step in and help. We would love to be involved from the start of your planning process. We will help you collate your ideas and can work with your architect / designer or point you in the direction of a suitable architect / designer if required. We will then from the outset, ensure a cohesive approach and that you are getting exactly what you want and within your budget. You will have questions about the build and having Wade on hand can help you work through these to the point where you are happy to proceed to Step 2.

Once all your ideas are collated, Wade will advise as to whether or not Council approval (a permit) will be required. If this is the case, an architect / designer will develop a ‘concept’ (basically a flash picture) of your project. Once you approve this, we will provide a rough estimate of costs.

Once you are happy with the Concept and Estimate, working drawings will now be produced by the architect / designer, which will then be submitted into Council for planning approval (if required).

It is now time to get signed agreements (including staged payment schedules) between the two parties (Frontline Builders and the client), before the build can proceed.

 

The build begins, but not without constant liaison and scheduled update meetings throughout the build process.

Completion!

TESTIMONIAL

"Our first project with Frontline Builders was a house extension for our 1950's home. A number of people have commented that it is the most sympathetic extension they have seen. Wade matched up all the rimu doors and skirtings and the workmanship is excellent. We didn't need to be persuaded to use the Frontline team for our next project with a commercial building refurbishment. These jobs always present unexpected challenges and these were never an issue for Wade's team. He would always consult and a decision was made on how to proceed, The project outcome surpassed our expectations and, again, every detail in workmanship was given due care and attention. We are now about to embark on our 4th project with Frontline. Wade is fully involved in the planning and the day to day work with his team, who are each skilled and happily accommodate any ideas and suggestions along the way. We have used an architect several times and, in each case, the working relationship has been excellent."
