Our Simple 3-Step Renovation Process
Rather than juggling an architect, engineer, and building company separately, we streamline the entire process for you—from concept to completion—including managing all required building consents in the Thames-Coromandel District.

1. Design
We take the time to listen and understand your vision. Then, we create detailed concept drawings to ensure the design meets your lifestyle needs and stays within budget.

2. Plan
We handle all architectural documentation, engineer reports, and local council approvals. We also prepare a clear construction timeline that works around your lifestyle.

3. Construct
This is where the transformation happens. Our local team of skilled builders and tradespeople bring your renovation to life—with one dedicated point of contact keeping you informed every step of the way.

Its location also makes weekend trips to Tauranga, Thames, and the wider Coromandel easy.

Retirees

Whangamatā is a popular choice for retirees seeking comfort, community, and a coastal lifestyle. Its mild climate, slower pace, and excellent community networks create an ideal environment for active retirement.
