About Us

Anthony Bown is a Licensed Building Practitioner and Registered Master Builder who has specialist expertise in renovations of historically sensitive homes, architectural design and build projects and complex remedial works. Anthony is also widely experienced in projects involving major structural and earthquake repairs, as well extending or adding a storey to a home. 
 
As a quality renovation builder, we use qualified licensed tradespeople who are reliable and dedicated to quality in building. With this in mind, you can trust Smith & Sons Christchurch Port Hills to complete your renovation or extension professionally to your budget and on time. Our company structure is such that we have a high ratio of licensed practitioners on site and personal development of all our team members to be able to deliver the best possible results to our clients. Health and safety is paramount to all that are involved in our projects and we are members of the Site Safe organisation.
 
Our Process 
 
The team at Smith & Sons Christchurch Port Hills will work with you on your project from start to finish. Using our established Project Methodology we manage the process of your home renovation or extension in 3 simple steps – through the Design, Planning & Construction phases. Rather than separately employing the services of an architect, engineer and building company, we manage the entire process, including gaining appropriate building consents, from start to finish for you.
 
The design and build process used by the team at Smith & Sons Christchurch Port Hills launches with a discussion around your budget which is then followed by design and consents. Detailed cost estimates are provided which may then be reallocated to best suit your renovation requirements. By bringing in the team early you won’t waste time or money on costly plans and consents that you later discover are not within your budget.
 
Once the design stage is completed, you will be assigned a project manager. The project manager will organise the paperwork including consents, bring in reliable and qualified tradespeople at each stage of the renovation process, monitor quality control of all work completed by all tradespeople, all while keeping you fully up to date on any developments.

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.
