About Us – Smith & Sons Central Otago

The Smith & Sons Central Otago franchise is owned and operated by Alex and Danni Kenyon. Alex became a qualified Carpenter 20 years ago in Devon UK, bringing his skills and knowledge to beautiful New Zealand 10 years ago and settling down here with his wife Danni, from Yorkshire UK.
 
They live in Cromwell, Central Otago, and love being part of the community and making the most of the NZ outdoor lifestyle. One of the reasons Alex and Danni emigrated to Central Otago was for the mountains, lakes and stunning views. They bring this love of the scenic view into their home renovations, with plenty of knowledge of ground and weather conditions to create a warm, modern home with the understanding of an outdoor living lifestyle. Alex prides himself on the quality workmanship he delivers and the positive client feedback his team continue to receive.
 
As a full-service renovation specialist, we use a 3 step process to help you Design, Plan and Construct the right renovation for your home and your budget. From conception to completion; the aim is to provide support, expertise and communication to ensure your dream comes true.
 
Smith & Sons Central Otago is one of more than 27 offices across New Zealand.
Central Otago is an area located in the inland part of the Otago region in the South Island of New Zealand
 
The area is dominated by mountain ranges and the upper reaches of the Clutha River and its tributaries. The wide flat plateau of the Maniototo which lies between the upper reaches of the Taieri River and the Clutha's northern tributary the Manuherikia is also part of Central Otago
 
The area is known for its cycle trails. The 150 km Otago Central Rail Trail follows the route of the old railway; cycling from station to station and staying in places little touched by modern hustle and bustle. The Roxburgh Gorge Trail and Clutha Gold Trail also offer unique experiences deep in the heart of Central Otago. 
 
So if you are looking for a builder for your next project, why not give Smith and Sons Central Otago a call.
 
We do home renovations and extensions around the Great Central Otago region.

What We Do 

Home Extensions: A home extension is a great way to add space and value to your home without having to go through the stress and expense of moving house. It involves expanding your home by building additional rooms or extending existing ones. Home extensions can range from the edition of a single room to a more complex project, such as adding a second storey. With the help of our professional builders, we can create a custom design that meets your needs and reflects your personal style, all while enhancing the functionality and value of your home.

Second Storey Additions: A second storey addition is a popular way to add extra living space to your home. It involves adding a new level on top of your existing home, creating additional bedrooms, bathrooms, or living areas. If you love where you live, a second storey addition is a great solution for your family that has outgrown their current lowset home. It can also be a cost-effective alternative to moving to a larger home in a more expensive area. With our help, you can design a custom second storey addition that complements your existing home and meets your specific requirements and budget.

Home Makeover Projects: Our expert team specialise in complete home makeovers that transform your home into a beautiful and functional living space. From small-scale renovations to complete interior and exterior overhauls, we can help you achieve your home renovation dreams. Our team of skilled professionals will work with you to create a custom design that meets your needs and style.

Kitchens: We believe that your kitchen is the heart of every home. A kitchen renovation can range from a simple update with new cabinetry, benchtops and fixtures through to a complete redesign that completely transforms the space.

Bathroom and Laundries: Dreamt of a bath to relax in after a long day at work? One of our most popular renovation projects, let us help you create a bathroom or laundry renovation that’s functional and refreshing.

Granny Flats and Garage Conversions: A cost effective and great renovation solution to add value and space to your home without the expenses of moving.

Garages: Looking to transform your garage into a functional, yet stylish space for your vehicles or add storage, workspace, or even a man cave? We can help you maximise your garage space.

Decks and Outdoor Extensions: The outdoor space is an extension of your home. We specialise in creating custom outdoor decks and extensions that help you maximize your outdoor living space and enhance your outdoor lifestyle.

Knock-Down Rebuilds: Our experienced team will work with you to design a custom home that reflects your unique style, requirements, and budget. From obtaining council approvals to final inspections, we’ll manage every step of the process to ensure that your new home is safe, efficient, and completed on time.

Commercial: We offer a range of commercial construction services that help businesses achieve their goals. From small office renovations to large commercial builds, we have the expertise to deliver high-quality results.

Unit Renovations: Thinking of a renovation on your unit or apartment? We offer unit renovation services that are customised to your needs, preferences, and financial plan outcomes that amplify the potential of your unit.

Re-Cladding: Update and improve the exterior of your home with confidence. You can trust us to deliver a re-cladding result that not only looks great but also protects your home from the elements.

 

Ideas & Design

Projects usually start with an informal meeting to discuss a wide range of ideas, your project goals and intended budget.  Whether you engage an independent Architect/Designer or work with us in-house; we assist with all facets of this stage – balancing cost efficiencies with creative flare.

Plans, Drawings and Permits

As a part of the consulting process, we liaise with you and the Architect/Designer (engaged by you or in-house) to ensure a cost efficient and practical approach to resolving any site issues or special requirements.  We deal with all the Industry standards along with Council requirements and specifications. 

Quotation, Budgeting & Cost Analysis

Once concept plans are produced, our in-house costing team source the best quotes and products to calculate a very comprehensive cost assessment for your project.  This approach to pricing each job ensures you get an honest and realistic estimate of the cost of your project.

We have a hand-picked team of dedicated Suppliers and Contractors who we work with to ensure the best prices, services and delivery of goods for each project.  We bring all these together in a Cost Assessment designed to offer you confidence and information.

Construction & Project Management

Liaison between the Designers and on-site sub-trades is all part of our service.  Regular updates and information flow between all parties keeping you up to date with progress.  Planning and managing is simple and easy with the management systems we have in place.
