EXCELLENT Based on 10 reviews Posted on Chris BirkinshawTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can highly recommend Ben and his team. They did a thorough demolition of large parts of my early 1900s Thorndon villa, and complete rebuild and refurbishment. Their communication about what was happening when was impeccable, they were clear about costs and stuck to them. Their subtrades were fantastic and just as clear on communication and costs, and ben did an incredible job of co-ordinating them to meet the timeframes he'd given me. The whole team's craftmanship and attention to detail was incredible. If you want a really good builder who communicates all the way through a project and does great work, Ben and his team are just who you are looking for.Posted on Gabriella VettorettiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Villa renovations typically take between 3 and 9 months depending on the scope of work. Simpler upgrades like bathroom or kitchen renovations within a villa may take 8–12 weeks, while full restorations involving foundations, weatherboard replacement, and extensions can take 6–9 months. We provide a detailed timeline during the quoting stage so you know exactly what to expect.
Most villa renovations in Wellington require building consent, especially if you are making structural changes, altering the building envelope, or adding extensions. Work on heritage-listed villas may also require resource consent from Wellington City Council. We handle all consent applications as part of our service so you do not need to manage the paperwork yourself.
Villa renovation costs in Wellington typically range from $3,000 to $5,000+ per square metre depending on the scope of work, the condition of the existing structure, and the level of finish. Simpler interior upgrades sit at the lower end, while full restorations involving foundations, re-piling, weatherboard replacement, and extensions sit higher. We provide a detailed, fixed-scope quote after our on-site assessment so there are no surprises.
