Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a building consent for renovations in NZ?
Most structural work, new rooms, and significant alterations require a building consent from your local council. Minor work like replacing a deck less than 1.5m above ground may be exempt — your builder can advise.
How much does a home extension cost in NZ?
Home extensions in NZ typically cost $2,500–$4,500+ per m² for a basic addition, including materials and labour. Kitchen and bathroom extensions cost more due to services.
What is a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP)?
An LBP is a builder licensed by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) to carry out or supervise restricted building work (RBW) in NZ. Always ask to see an LBP licence number.
How long does a full house renovation take?
A whole-house renovation typically takes 3–12 months depending on scope, council processes, and availability of materials and sub-trades.
