Our Services 

Design and Build Services 

If you are planning a major renovation or home extension, working with a design and build specialist can save you time and money, whilst giving you peace of mind that the project is being well managed at every stage. We work with clients from the outset, discussing inital ideas and gaining concept drawings, so you know what the end result will look like (and cost!) at the early stages. We can help you avoid getting too far ahead with architect plans that might not fit your budget, and once you are happy with the design stage, we will complete all the building work, managing all of the subtrades and labour, so you can relax knowing everything is being taken care of.    
 

Kitchen and Bathroom Renovations 

Many homeowners want to improve the aesthetics of their home and add value to their property. Installing a new kitchen or bathroom is often a great way to achieve both results. As a professional renovations company we have  extensive experience in both kitchen and bathroom design and installation. Whether you want to change the layout, knock through a wall to gain a bigger space, or simply makeover the existing room, we can help. Working with you through the design options, so that you can acheive the look and finish you desire, that also works with your existing home, is what we do best.  
 

Home Additions and Extensions

With any major project, we can help you through every stage, from deciding on the best layout and design options to suit your home, to gaining building design plans and council consents. Choosing a specialist builder for your home extension can make the whole project run more smoothly and efficiently. Smith & Sons Taranaki offer high levels of experience in residential building as well as established processes for all elements of your home extension project.

Plan: We complete all architectural and design plans and engineers drawings, plus all council and city approvals. We also map out your renovation construction schedule to fit around you and your lifestyle.
 
Construct: This is where the fun begins as our team of expert builders and tradespeople bring your dreams to life. With one point of contact throughout the entire renovation process, you will be kept up to date.

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.

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.
