Most structural work needs a building consent.

This carousel walks the key steps: when you need consent, why a complete application matters, the 20 working‑day decision clock and what happens at the end of a build.

If you are planning work, check the scope (structural, re‑piling, major alterations) and get accurate plans and an early council meeting to avoid common delays.

Neither liquid nor sheet is automatically the best for an NZ bathroom.

Liquid membranes suit small, detail-heavy wet areas. Sheet membranes work better for larger floors, balconies and movement-prone timber substrates. The right system depends on the substrate, corner and pe*******on detailing, and compliance with the Building Code.

BRANZ appraisals set the product requirements: some liquid undertile products require 1 mm dry film and use wet-film gauges during application. Most failures start at corners, junctions and pe*******ons, so inspect those at handover.

$19,000 to $44,000 is the common range for an Auckland bathroom, with a typical project near $28,000.

This carousel highlights what moves the price: layout changes, tiling and waterproofing are the biggest levers. Keeping fixtures where they are is the simplest way to control cost.

Also plan for consent time and a contingency: council review hours are charged, and hidden damage often appears after demolition.

Start with safety, then water, then structure — not the kitchen.

If you’ve just bought your first home, follow the tiered order in this guide: Tier 1 safety and health, Tier 2 stop moisture, Tier 3 structure and warmth, then kitchens and bathrooms. Doing the work in the right sequence protects your money and prevents repeat repairs.

Walk the house after rain, check under the house and in the ceiling space, and keep about 20% of your budget for surprises. Check consent rules before any structural or plumbing work.

Which of these will you check first on your new place?

Think $10,000 will buy a new kitchen? It usually won’t.

This carousel pulls three common assumptions from our Auckland kitchen cost guide and shows the reality you need to plan for: what $10,000 will actually cover, which changes blow budgets out, and when council consent is likely.

Soft-close vs standard hinges: what you need to know.

Soft-close adds a small hydraulic damper that slows the last part of the swing. Both hinge types close; soft-close controls how the door arrives, it does not replace worn cabinets.

Hardware per hinge is inexpensive, but labour and the condition of your doors and carcasses determine whether a swap makes sense. Swollen or crumbling cabinet sides often mean a rebuild is the better spend.

Want us to look at your kitchen and advise whether to swap, retrofit or rebuild?

RCDs: the detail that changes a renovation.

Regulations say new circuits must have RCD protection, but existing safe wiring can stay. That means a small change can shift which rules apply to your whole project.

Before you start work or sign on an older house, check the switchboard, press the test button, and ask which RCD type the electrician will fit. Proper testing and the right device type matter for modern appliances.

Which room or circuit would you check first, or would you like our quick RCD checklist?

Do not ignore a musty smell under your floor.

Many homeowners treat that smell as an old-house quirk. In New Zealand it is a common sign of poor subfloor ventilation or ground moisture entering the space.

The correct sequence is important: find and stop the source, install a polythene ground moisture barrier, then ensure ventilation comes from outside only. If the moisture traces back to a bathroom or kitchen leak, fix the plumbing and waterproofing first.

Want a clear checklist you can use at home, or a scope you can give a trades team? Read the full guide or ask us for an inspection — what do you want checked first?

U-shape or galley: pick by room, not trend.

A quick rule: choose a U-shape when the room can fit three runs and you want the most bench and storage. Choose a galley for long, narrow spaces, solo cooking or lower cabinetry costs.

Cabinetry and benchtops typically run about $14,000–$20,000 for a mid-range U-shape and $7,000–$10,000 for a galley. Appliances, plumbing and labour come on top, so get a full quote before you plan.

Fix the layout on plan and draw appliance door swings before ordering cabinets. Have you measured your space yet, or want help deciding which fits your home?

Worried your kitchen reno will overrun time or cost?

Most costly mistakes happen before cabinets are ordered: budget without a buffer, consent left until late, or appliances chosen after the layout. The slides cover three simple steps that prevent those common delays and extra bills.
