The duration of a bathroom renovation project can vary greatly depending on a number of factors such as the scope of the project and the specific circumstances of the remodel. A minor remodel that involves primarily cosmetic changes such as painting, replacing fixtures, or updating the lighting could take a few days to a week to complete. However, a major bathroom renovation that involves significant changes to the layout or requires extensive plumbing or electrical work could take several weeks or even months to complete. During our working drawings and costing stage of our bespoke 5-step process, we will work with you to prepare a gantt chart showing expected timeline for your bathroom remodelling project.

If you’re thinking about renovating your bathroom, ask yourself the following questions: ‍

• What design style are you drawn to? (e.g. minimalist, modern, classic)
• Have you considered a budget? Do you need to talk to a bank or mortgage broker about finance?
• Have you checked your calendar for the most convenient time of year to renovate your bathroom?
• If you have only one bathroom in your house, have you considered an alternative solution whilst the bathroom is undergoing the renovation?
• How much space is there to work with, do you need to extend or is there sufficient space available to achieve what you are looking for?
• How much storage is required?Having this information ready will make it that much easier to plan your bathroom remodelling project with our team.

In New Zealand, the need for a building consent for a new bathroom largely depends on the extent of the work involved and the specific regulations of the local council. Generally, if your bathroom renovation involves structural changes, plumbing alterations, or electrical work, it is likely that you will require a building consent. This is because these changes may affect the safety, durability, and compliance of the building. It is important to consult with your local council or a qualified professional, such as a building inspector or architect, who can provide accurate guidance based on the specific details of your project and the local regulations.

Your renovation consultant at Refresh can take care of these checks on your behalf during the Working Drawings and Costing stage of the process. They will be able to assess whether a building consent is required and guide you through the process to ensure compliance with New Zealand's building standards.
