Frequently Asked Questions
Wigram Building FAQ's
Our Wigram home is only ten years old. Is it too new to extend or renovate?
Not at all. Newer homes are often the easiest to extend because plans are readily available and the structure is sound. We match existing materials and rooflines so additions look original, and we handle any covenant or consent requirements involved.
How long does a typical renovation or new build take in Wigram?
Timelines vary with scale and complexity. Minor updates may take a few weeks, medium renovations 1-3 months, and major renovations or new builds 3-12 months or more. We provide a clear project timeline as part of our planning process.
How much will my building project cost?
Costs vary significantly with scope, materials, and complexity. A bathroom renovation might start around $10,000-$20,000, while a full home renovation could run $80,000-$500,000+. New builds and extensions are typically costed per square metre. We provide a detailed, fixed-price quote after the initial consultation and planning stage. See our latest build cost guide for more information.
Will I need council consent?
Most likely, yes. Significant building work, structural changes, extensions, and some plumbing work typically require building consent from Christchurch City Council. Depending on zoning rules and the project’s impact, a resource consent may also be needed. We handle the entire consent process as part of our service.
How do you ensure a smooth building process?
We follow a proven 5-step process focused on clear communication, detailed planning, transparent quoting, quality construction management, and final checks. Our goal is a stress-free experience for you.
