How can someone tell if their Garage is suitable for conversion?
As long as it is a suitable size for a room or rooms it can be repurposed to a new living area or sleepout unit. It is easier on the wallet if it is relatively water proof and is structurally sound. You will not need a consent for changes if it under 30sqm and as long as you do not have running water in the unit
Run us through the different stages of the Garage conversion process - what's involved?
Every garage conversion depends on what structure you already have.
The first step is to talk with you to find out what you want to turn your garage into. Once you've settled on what you want and how it should be built we can sign a mandatory building contract and arrange insurances. We will then arrange for any plans, permits or consents if needed.
The cost of the build will depend on how much work is needed but we'll need to:
1. Identify and remedy any structurall issues including doors, windows, porches, decks
2. Identify and remedy any existing moisture problems ie roof, walls, retaining walls, floor
3. Plan for and install all electrical wiring
4. Install insulation to building codes and standards
5. Finish to building codes and warranty, and in the colours you want.
How long have you been in business?
Three years. We have three qualified builders and two Licensed Building Practitioners (LBP) in the team with over 40 years of qualified building experience. We have our own team of apprentices and have worked with the same team of trusted professioanl subcontractors on many builds.
What guarantee does your work come with?
All workmanship is guaranteed for 10 years (mandatory by law), with accountability held by the Licensed Building Practioner (LBP) signing-off the build, and the company.
We also carry many insurance policies specific to each build including: Loss of Deposit and Non-Completion, Materials and Workmanship, and Structural Defects.
We will arrange all of insurance covers and warrantees at the contractural stage and before we start the build.
What do you love most about your job?
The creativity of the job and the ability to see a job through from concept, to finish and handover. Its a good feeling driving past a build or renovation knowing you've done it and someone is enjoying your work.
What inspired you to start your own business?
It's the kiwi dream to be self-employed - certainly mine anyway. It's a great lifestyle, I'm good at my job. I can help some youngsters with work by teaching them a trade - to help them on their way. On top of that, I can help others get some more enjoyment in their lives and get their dream home together.
Theres a lot to like in this business.
