RENOVATION PROJECTS:

Toby and Emma fell in love with the age and character of their villa but felt that it was too small, dark and disconnected. With an extension to house the new kitchen, butlers pantry and laundry the rest of the house was able to grow.  These major changes allowing the home to be future-proofed for the recently married couple.

"We have absolutely no regrets, which is amazing on a project of this size.  It was a really easy process with you guys, so thank you!"  Toby & Emma.

For Bruce and Emma's Villa Renovation, we totally changed the whole feel of their home, from dark and tight to open and light! By opening up the back end with character matched bi-folds, sky lights, new kitchen, diner and lounge room leading out to an 'all seasons' covered patio on the new pool area.  Light and lifestyle boxes, ticked!

Emma was at home with the children at the time and really felt like she could trust the Alpha 1 team in her home.  

Emma - "I totally trusted them, they were great people"

Brett's brick home just wasn't big enough for all of the entertaining he enjoys, so he undertook a major renovation with us and the results won a Master Builders gold award in the renovations category.  We were all thrilled with the results and so were the judges.

Here's what Brett said: "I just want anyone and everyone to come and see my house!"

Jo loved the location of her Bungalow in Grey Lynn, but wanted more space.  Working in very early on with the architect we developed Jo's two storey addition, doubling her footprint and giving her that all important extra living space and indoor-outdoor flow.  Opening up the back end of her existing bungalow gives so much more light and flexibility of space.

Jo - "I'd definitely recommend Alpha 1 to anyone else thinking of doing a renovation" 

Kim bought an old bungalow in Mt Eden and although she was in love with the character charm and features of the property she knew that it wasn't up to scratch for her growing family. 

Keeping only one of the original walls we restored and updated the bungalow, adding an extra storey.  With a large bathroom, master bed, kids double bedroom and much needed storage spaces. 

Growing the kitchen - diner and adding that important indoor outdoor flow with an entertainers deck.  Kim was very impressed with the professionalism of our team especially in handling the difficult neighbours during the build.  Here's what she said about us:

Kim - "Nothing was a problem to Paul and his team. He worked perfectly with our architect and was extremely professional at all times"

ARCHITECTURAL NEW BUILDS:

We undertook an Architectural New Build for Jo and Mark, which won 2 gold Master Builders awards! Here's what they said about us.

"We would recommend Alpha 1 Builders to anyone who would like something built to the highest of standards with the minimum of stress"

Renovation Success in 8 Clear Steps:

DREAM

Chat with us about your renovation plans

We’ll talk through your dream home renovation plans to see what you're wanting to achieve at your place.

Once we know these details, we’ll send out one of our info packs to get your imagination flowing.  Then we'll tee up a meeting with Paul (owner of Alpha 1) He'll meet you at your place and go over the feasibility of your dream plans, site, budget and timeframes.  Then suggest which of our recommended architect/designers would be best for your project.

DESIGN

Your onsite design meeting

For your first collective meeting with your chosen architect, Paul will be there to talk through ideas for your project and what you’re wanting to achieve.  The architect will then explain their process to you and be able to start your exciting concept plans.

Already have plans? Go to plan pricing.

Plan development starts

This is a super exciting stage.  You can see the renovation changes that you needed taking shape on your plans. This really gives you a feel for how your updated home will appear and function.  Of course, revisions are made to ensure you are happy before any concept stage pricing begins.  We will make sure you are 100% happy with the plans, then they are price checked thoroughly by Paul and a quantity surveyor to match your budget before moving forward.

*There is a small admin fee to cover the QS pricing.

Council-ready plans are priced

Once you are happy with the concept plans and price, council ready plans are prepared.  These plans will be the working drawings for your renovation.  Before your building work starts, we thoroughly & fairly price your plans with a quantity surveyor before they are sent off for Council approval.  We are here to discuss any questions you may have at any stage.

*There is a small admin fee to cover the QS pricing.

Council plans are approved

These plans are used to create your dream home. As such they contain every detail required to physically build it.  From the type of timber or steel to be used for the structure, right through to the type of cladding and windows used on the outside. These plans are sent to the Council to gain approval so that building work can commence.
