home renovations that work for how you live

Whether you're updating a tired space or reworking how your home functions, we manage the entire process from planning through to completion.

Clear communication. Solid workmanship. No unnecessary complexity.

when to consider renovating

Renovating usually starts with a feeling that something isn’t working.

  • Your kitchen or bathroom no longer suits how you live

  • The layout feels cramped, outdated, or inefficient

  • You want to improve how your home functions day to day

  • You’re updating your home without changing its footprint

 

If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

2. Scope & Planning
We define the scope clearly, taking into account your existing home and layout.

3. Pricing & Agreement
Transparent pricing based on a well-understood scope.

4. Build & Project Management

We manage the renovation, coordinating trades while working within your existing home.

5. Completion
We finish the job properly, with attention to the details that matter.

"During the process, they were always easy to contact. They were aware of the stresses that I, as the homeowner, was under, and they were available to talk me through it all." - D Gyton

why renovate with Orkney

Renovating an existing home is different from building new.

There are more unknowns, more moving parts, and more decisions along the way. We approach renovations with that in mind.

  • Experience working with existing structures, not just new builds

  • One team managing construction, roofing, painting, and finishing

  • Clear communication so you always know where things stand

  • A structured process to keep the project under control

 

We focus on doing the job properly, not cutting corners to rush it through.

House renovation - Lower Hutt

Internal walls were reconfigured to add a spare bedroom and transform a disjointed lounge into a master suite with a walk-through wardrobe and ensuite. A kitchen island was added, and the existing living area was levelled to create a more cohesive space.

Bathroom & Laundry renovation - Karori

The bathroom was extended into the laundry to create more space, allowing for a walk-in shower, new tiling, and updated fixtures. The laundry was then reconfigured with full-length cabinetry, with the washer and dryer integrated.

Full house renovation - Hataitai

This renovation involved both interior and exterior work, including reconfiguring the layout by moving walls, adjusting doors and windows, and improving the overall flow of the home. The project also included adding a deck off the relocated kitchen, along with a second deck downstairs.

"We have been living in the house for the duration of the work and the crew have been very good at respecting our privacy and helping us manage the space."

- R Kellett
