Exterior recladding
Full or partial reclad design, including the weathertightness detailing that most consents get held up on.
Services
Reclad, renovations and extensions
Value-adding work on a home you already own, designed to add real space and stop a failing exterior from getting worse.
Get a design assessmentWhat we do
From a full exterior reclad to a single-room renovation, scoped to what the home actually needs.
Interior reconfiguration
Reworking a floor plan that no longer fits how you live, without touching what doesn't need to change.
Extensions
Additional space designed to tie into the existing structure cleanly, engineered so the join is never the weak point.
Kitchen renovations
Layout and structural changes for a kitchen renovation, including any wall removal that needs engineering sign-off.
Reclad expertise and the consent angle
New Zealand's building stock has a well-known weathertightness history, and council scrutiny on reclad work reflects it. We design recladding to current weathertightness standards and handle the consent documentation alongside the design, so the project doesn't stall on a detail that should have been resolved on paper first.
Why coordinated engineering matters here
Reclad and extension work almost always touches the existing structure, whether that's removing a wall, tying a new roofline into an old one, or reassessing what a weathertightness upgrade means for bracing. Having the structural assessment coordinated alongside the team drawing the renovation means the design doesn't get redrawn after an engineer finds a problem late.
Common questions
Do I need building consent for a reclad?
In most cases, yes, particularly where the reclad changes the weathertightness system or structure of the home. We assess your specific reclad against council requirements before you commit to a scope.
How do you handle weathertightness?
Weathertightness detailing is designed in from the start, not added afterward. That's the part of a reclad most likely to cause consent delays if it's rushed, so we resolve it at the design stage.
Can I extend without a full rebuild?
Usually. Most extensions tie into part of the existing structure rather than replacing it. We assess what the existing building can carry and design the extension to work with it.
