How long does a home renovation project take?
The duration of a home renovation project depends on the scope and complexity of the work.
Smaller projects, like a bathroom update, may take a few weeks, while larger renovations, such as a full home transformation, can take several months.
At Locked In Construction, we work efficiently to complete your project on schedule without compromising quality.
We’ll provide a clear timeline during the whole process to ensure you know what to expect.
Are permits required for home renovations or new builds?
Yes, permits are often required for home renovations or a new build project, depending on the type of work being done.
Structural changes, such as removing or adding walls, extending a property, or installing new windows and doors, usually require council approval.
Similarly, projects like electrical upgrades, plumbing work, or significant changes to outdoor spaces often need specific permits.
At Locked In Construction, we help determine exactly which permits are required for your project, including building, resource, and consent permits.
We ensure all necessary documentation is submitted for your project, manage the whole building process from start to finish, and guide you through local regulations to ensure a seamless project.
What factors should I consider when renovating an older home?
When renovating an older home, consider the condition of the structure, including foundations, walls, and roofing, as these may require repairs or updates.
Electrical and plumbing systems often need upgrading to meet modern standards.
Preserving original features, such as woodwork or architectural details, can enhance the home’s character.
At Locked In Construction, we assess these factors to ensure a balance between modern practicality and the dream home’s unique charm.
How much does it cost to renovate a home in Manawatu?
The cost of renovating a home can vary widely depending on the size of the project, the materials used, and the extent of the work involved.
Smaller renovations, such as updating a bathroom or kitchen, can be more affordable, while larger projects may require a higher investment.
Factors like plumbing, electrical work, and structural changes will also influence the overall cost.
At Locked In Construction, we provide a detailed quote based on your specific needs and preferences. We ensure that your renovation stays within budget while delivering high-quality results.
Are there any height restrictions for building a fence?
Yes, there are height restrictions for building a fence, which can vary depending on your location and local council regulations.
In general, fences along front boundaries are typically limited to a height of 1.2 to 1.8 metres, while fences at the rear or side of a property may have higher allowances.
It’s important to check with your local council to understand specific rules, as they may also depend on factors like zoning, property type, and proximity to roads or other structures.
As master builders, Locked In Construction help ensure your fence complies with local regulations and meets your needs.
