Three reasons to undertake home renovations:

1. Improve your home's look - It is likely that the home you live in was built for function over form. Renovating allows you the freedom to accentuate the features of your home you love, modernise your home and minimise what you don’t like. Renovating also gives you the freedom to stamp your own personal style on it so that is everything you have ever wanted visually.
   
   
2. Maximise space and flow - A home renovation lets you change the layout so that space, light and the flow of your home is maximised and spaces are put to better use. Simple things such as changing window placement, knocking through walls or the addition of clever lighting can radically alter your home.
   
   
3. Increase the value of your home - If you are about to sell your home, you will get more for it if it is well-presented. You don’t have to renovate your home completely before selling. Instead, focus on key areas such as increasing storage, opening up a dark room, and refurbishing the kitchen and bathroom.

When renovating, allow a contingency in your budget.

It is wise to allow a contingency when renovating. This is because, as builders, we cannot see under the walls and floors until we start work. There might be rotten timber or leaks. Alterations to plans may be needed plus the council may require additional paperwork. Due to unexpected hold-ups, the timeline of your renovation may be pushed out which can cost more money.

Due to the unforeseen nature of renovating, we recommend allowing a contingency of 10%-15% of the overall cost. This way, if anything unexpected crops up, you are financially prepared for it.

Make your section look as good as your home with outdoor renovations.

While you are thinking about indoor renovations, consider whether your section could do with a spruce up too.

Alongside interior work Macreadie Builders offers a range of outdoor renovation options including decks, courtyards and BBQ areas, retaining walls and hard landscaping. Talk to us about getting your outdoor work done as part of your renovations so you only have to plan for one project and deal with one contractor.

The new home builders at Macreadie Builders in Auckland help your ideas shine.

At Macreadie Builders our 13-strong building team has a true passion for creating architectural new build homes. Much more than constructing a house for your family to live in, we see our work as a form of art. A home’s aesthetics are equally important as its function and we specialise in those different touches that make your home stand out like exposed steel or timber done in a modern and stylish way.

Our passionate builders excel in building architectural homes across Auckland and the North Shore as well as undertaking home renovations and creating stunning outdoor rooms. Our team can help you with the entire build process from arranging someone to draw up plans for you and dealing with council consents to the finishing touches.

View our building project gallery and then give us a call to discuss your ideas. It is difficult for us to put a figure on your build simply by knowing how many square metres it is. It is much better for us to see concept designs or plans first so contact us today to arrange a consultation.

When you are building a house think about strength, light and warmth.

First and foremost, your home is your shelter and it is crucial to ensure the bones are properly constructed. The team at Macreadie Builders are highly-experienced registered builders who believe in thorough planning. When building a new home, there are three key things to plan for:

1. Strength  - Secure an architect who is realistic about your new build and where structurally, everything suggested is possible. Ideally, you want to find an architect and builder who can work together to create a strong home for you.
   
   
2. Daylight - The first step is knowing the orientation of your Auckland home in relation to the sun. How will natural daylight enter your home? When you know this, you can create rooms that work effectively according to their position. Not only does optimising daylight encourage a feeling of brightness and spaciousness in your home, power and heating bills are reduced.
   
   
3. Warmth - There is little point having daylight pouring into your home if your home cannot retain the warmth - and it passes straight out of the walls. Using the correct type of insulation is very important. Talk to us about which insulation best suits your requirements.

You are covered by New Zealand’s most comprehensive 10-year residential building guarantee.

West Auckland-based Macreadie Builders is a member of New Zealand Certified Builders which represents the best in the industry and is founded on strict standards of knowledge, skills and expertise. As Macreadie Builders is an NZ Certified Builder, every residential client is backed by New Zealand’s most comprehensive 10-year residential building guarantee. That means when you work with us as new home builders you have peace of mind should anything happen.

Create a section to match your brand new home with stunning outdoor rooms.

If you have built your home on a bare section then the surrounding landscape might not quite match the beauty of your new home. Or you might have a tricky steep section to deal with where retaining walls might make the land more useable.

As well as building your new home, Macreadie Builders can carry out hard landscaping on your section including fences and decks, BBQ areas, and pool surrounds. We can even build you an outdoor shower if you love the beach or the tracks but don't want the sand and mud in your new home.

Contact us to discuss plans for a custom home or upgrading your section and making your outdoor rooms as great as your indoor ones.
