Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need building consent for a bathroom renovation?
Many bathroom renovations don't need consent — replacing internal linings, waterproofing and tiling in an existing home can be exempt under Schedule 1 of the Building Act 2004. Moving or altering drainage, changing the layout or doing structural work can require consent, and all work must still meet the Building Code. We assess your project and confirm in your written quotation whether consent applies.
Q: Can you work around my schedule?
Yes — we try to minimise disruption and can plan sequencing to ensure you always have access to an alternative bathroom where possible.
Q: Do you supply the fixtures or do I?
Either option works. We can handle complete supply and installation or work with fixtures you've selected and purchased. We guide you to trusted Auckland suppliers if needed.
Q: How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Auckland?
A kitchen renovation in Auckland costs between $15,000 and $80,000 depending on size, layout changes, appliances and finish quality. We provide detailed free quotes with no obligation — call 022 315 8987.
Q: Are you a registered building company for home renovation work in Auckland?
Yes. My Homes Construct Ltd is a registered building company. All renovation work is completed to NZ Building Code standards and backed by a workmanship warranty as per your quotation.
Q: Do you handle building consents for renovations?
Yes. We manage the entire consent process with Auckland Council on your behalf — drawings, applications, inspections and code compliance certificates. This is included as part of our full project management service.
Q: Do you replace carpet and install laminate or vinyl flooring?
Yes. We replace house carpet and install laminate timber and vinyl flooring across Auckland — including subfloor inspection and builder-grade repairs before the new floor goes down. Pricing depends on your materials specification, and every job starts with a free itemised written quote.
Q: What does a bathroom renovation cost in Auckland?
Bathroom renovations typically fall between $8,000 and $35,000. The lower end is a same-layout refresh — new fittings, tiling and waterproofing in the existing footprint. The upper end involves moving plumbing, converting a bath to a walk-in shower, structural changes or premium tiling. Waterproofing is not the place to economise at any point in that range.
Q: What makes bathroom waterproofing compliant?
Internal wet areas are governed by Clause E3 of the Building Code, with membrane systems applied to AS/NZS 4858 and the manufacturer’s specification — correct substrate, correct falls, junctions and penetrations detailed, and the membrane taken to the right heights. Documentation matters as much as application: keep the producer statement and product records with your house file.
Q: We only have one bathroom — how do we manage?
Plan it before demolition, not on day two. Options are staying with family, a short-term rental for the wettest part of the programme, or arranging a temporary shower elsewhere. We sequence single-bathroom jobs to minimise the number of days the room is completely out of action, but there is always a period where it genuinely cannot be used.
Q: Is converting a bath to a walk-in shower a big job?
Bigger than it looks. The floor waste usually moves, the floor may need to be recessed or falls formed to it, and the waterproofing membrane has to be redone across the whole wet area rather than patched. It is a very popular change and well worth doing properly — but it is a full wet-area rebuild, not a swap.
Q: Tiles or wall panels in a wet area?
Both work when installed to specification. Tiles offer more design range and repairability but rely on grout and sealed junctions being maintained. Panels install faster with fewer joints, which suits rentals and tight programmes. Neither is waterproof on its own — the membrane behind them is what keeps water out of the framing, and it matters more than the surface.
Q: Is underfloor heating worth including in a bathroom renovation?
If it is going in, it has to go in now — retrofitting under a finished tiled floor means removing that floor. Its practical benefit in Auckland is drying the room faster after showers rather than heating the house, which helps with the moisture problems our climate creates. Whether that justifies the cost is a comfort decision, not a compliance one.
Q: How do you make a small bathroom work better without extending it?
Wall-hung vanities and toilets free visible floor, a single large-format tile reduces grout lines, a frameless or single-pane shower screen stops the room being visually chopped in half, and moving the door swing can unlock more usable area than any fitting change. Layout and light usually do more for a small bathroom than expensive finishes.
Q: What does a standard kitchen renovation cost in Auckland?
A kitchen renovation runs between $15,000 and $80,000, depending on size, whether the layout moves, appliance specification and finish quality. Keeping plumbing and electrical in their existing positions is the single biggest saving available. Moving the sink, the hob or a wall pushes the job into a different bracket regardless of how modest the cabinetry is.
