Timelines vary based on the project’s scope. Minor updates can be done in about a week, while changing layouts or knocking down walls can take longer. Once working drawings are confirmed, it usually takes around six weeks for cabinets and benchtops to be produced. We typically allow 2–4 weeks for building and installation. If speed is a priority, let us know early, and we’ll explore time-saving solutions.

OUR APPROACH: FROM CONCEPT TO COMPLETION
Kitchen renovations can sometimes feel overwhelming, but Build NZ is here to simplify the process. Our proven, step-by-step approach ensures that every aspect of your new kitchen is handled by seasoned experts who value clear communication and outstanding customer support.
01
INITIAL CONSULTATION
We begin by discussing your goals, budget, and timeline in detail. This helps us set realistic expectations and start planning a design that suits your everyday needs—whether that’s extra storage, better workflow, or top-tier appliances.
02
SCOPING AND FEASIBILITY
Next, concept designs are drawn up to determine what’s possible within your space. At this stage, you’ll see how your ideas translate into a working layout and can make key decisions—such as where to place your sink or whether to include an island bench.
03
DETAILED PLANNING AND COSTING
Once you’re satisfied with the overall concept, we develop the working drawings and assess structural logistics such as load-bearing walls or necessary permits. Then, Build NZ provides a clear, fixed quote and contract so you know exactly what to expect in terms of cost and deliverables in your Kitchen renovation
04
BUILD STAGE
As demolition begins and your new kitchen installation proceeds, we keep you updated on progress and address any unforeseen issues quickly. You’ll see your design come to life with minimal disruption, thanks to our knowledgeable tradespeople and dedicated project management.
05
PROJECT COMPLETION
We finalise any council documentation, ensure your kitchen meets all compliance requirements, and hand over a beautifully finished space. All that’s left is for you to enjoy your new, tailored kitchen and the lasting value it brings to your home.
BASIC KITCHEN
RENOVATION COSTS
A basic kitchen renovation in New Zealand depends on your property’s size, the complexity of the work, and the materials and fixtures you choose.
- LAYOUT: With a basic budget, you’re generally keeping the same floorplan—though a clever refresh of paint, splashbacks, and accessories can still make a striking transformation.
- MATERIALS: Laminate surfaces and ceramic tile splashbacks are economical, durable choices available in a huge range of colours and patterns.
- CABINETRY: If your existing cabinets are structurally sound, you might replace just the doors or even repaint them, adding new handles for a modern look at minimal cost.
- APPLIANCES: Reusing your current appliances saves money; if you must upgrade, opt for reliable standard models that blend well with your kitchen’s style.

Contact us today to discuss your kitchen builds and renovation ideas. Whether you’re planning a small update or a full-scale remodel, we’ll help you create a kitchen that meets your everyday needs—and exceeds your expectations.
If your kitchen is in decent condition but looks dated, a partial makeover can be a perfect option. Rather than fully demolishing a functional layout, Build NZ focuses on cosmetic updates and minor improvements to elevate style and functionality:
- CUSTOM-MADE CABINETRY or new cupboard doors
- REFINISHED BENCHTOPS and upgraded lighting
- MODERN TAPWARE and handles
- IMPROVED STORAGE SOLUTIONS for better efficiency
Your kitchen remains partially operational during the makeover process, minimising downtime and disruption. With each makeover, our consultants aim to capture the style you envision while keeping the kitchen practical and comfortable.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHY RENOVATE YOUR KITCHEN?
Clients choose kitchen renovations for many reasons: a cramped layout, outdated fixtures, or simply a desire for a modern, open-plan design. Identifying your primary motivation—whether it’s more storage, improved workflow, or better appliances—helps us tailor the project to your specific needs.
HOW DO I BUDGET EFFECTIVELY FOR A NEW KITCHEN?
Set a clear budget from the start and keep a 10–20% contingency for unexpected costs. Even well-planned projects can uncover hidden issues, like outdated wiring or water damage, which need addressing. Being prepared ensures a smoother renovation experience.
WHICH STYLE OF KITCHEN IS BEST?
That depends on your personal taste and your home’s existing décor. Gather inspirational images and note features you love (or hate) to help communicate your vision. Ultimately, a kitchen that pairs practicality with aesthetics will serve you well for years to come.
