How Much Does a Full House Renovation Cost New Zealand?

It’s the burning question on everyone’s lips: How much does a full house renovation cost in New Zealand?

The response can vary, depending on numerous factors — size of the property, amount of work you take on, structural changes, materials, and more. But as an approximate guide for you:

• Decorative updates (paint, floor, fixtures): $20,000 – $80,000
• Mid-range for full home renos: $150,000 – $300,000
• Super-luxe, gut renovations: $300,000+

Your project will only ever begin with a thorough and personal consultation and quote so you have a completely clear idea of what you’re getting. We’re not about the upsell here — we want to help you make smart choices, and we respect a budget and a vision.

What’s the Priciest Item in a Home Renovation?

While every project is unique, the most costly aspects of remodeling tend to be:

• Bathrooms and Kitchens (see above for similar reasons including tiles, plumbing, and appliances)
• Alterations of structure – Demolition or erection of walls, underpinning foundations, or re-roofing
• Luxury fittings – Feature cabinetry, stone benches, upmarket flooring

This is where real elite service kicks in. We work with you to focus on the things that are important and save unnecessary costs. We have project managers who make sure everything is ordered, delivered and installed on schedule — and you don’t pay a nickel (or a euro, yen, pound or peso) more than necessary.
