Renovating your home

If you’re renovating, make sure you use licensed tradespeople and get consents where you need them.

Plan a renovation

Plan your renovation by working out:

  • your budget
  • your timeframe
  • if you need an architect and an engineer
  • who will project manage it
  • which tradespeople will be needed
  • if you need consents.

Check fire safety in your home

Consider how your renovation plans will affect fire safety in your home. For example, exit routes during and after renovations, meeting points and whether smoke alarms will be removed during the build process.
