M&K Projects, Auckland’s home renovation and building specialist provide a full service for all construction needs to their clients, carrying out projects in suburbs from St Heliers, Remuera, Ponsonby and Mt Eden, to West Auckland and the North Shore. They work with you to give you the best possible outcome, and their builders pride themselves on building homes to be proud of.

 

One of the tips they give their clients is before calling construction and home renovation companies, it is best to get a clear scope of what you are looking to achieve. They say you should consider things like what is the main reason for undertaking this project such as are you extending your home for a growing family? Maybe adding a deck for extended outdoor living, or even looking to reconfigure the living and kitchen area for open plan living. Once you have a clear scope, you should take the time to browse sites like Google Images and Pinterest to build a mental image of how your ideas will look in the end.

 

M&K Projects normall work on negotiated contracts whereby they help you determine your construction budget and work with you to build the actual cost of your project. However, if you decide to go to tender, you should make sure to give each of the construction companies the same brief, as this will make it easier to compare quotes when the time comes.

 

Another tip from M&K Projects is that at scheme design stage you should check off the main elements of your build. Things like roof lines, window positions, which windows will open, cladding and door locations. This will make things easier to change than at full working drawings, in turn saving you time and money.

 

M&K Projects’ Quantity Surveying team will estimate your job, giving allowances for tiles, bathroom fittings, kitchens and lighting if needed. In other words, you should let you builder know these details at pricing stage and this will ensure your estimate is as accurate as possible.
