The project 01

A renovation
worth waiting for.

For almost a decade, the owners held a clear ambition for their home — yet previous renovation quotes placed the project beyond their budget.

When the time was right, The Renovation Team shaped one coordinated plan for the property. The intention was to improve function and comfort without erasing the character of the established Epsom home.

Bathrooms, ceilings, storage, laundry, flooring, painting, carpet and outdoor connections were treated as parts of one complete renovation rather than separate, competing projects.

The client challenge

A long-held ambition.
One workable plan.

The owners had waited almost a decade after previous renovation quotes placed the project beyond their budget. The decision was not simply which room to renovate first, but how to make the wider home work as one cohesive project.

01 / Challenge

Multiple priorities without a coordinated direction

Bathrooms, ceilings, storage, service areas, flooring and outdoor connections all needed attention. Treating them separately risked repeated disruption and inconsistent decisions.

02 / Solution

A sequenced full home renovation

One defined scope aligned decisions, trades and finishes across the property, improving day-to-day function while respecting the character of the Epsom home.

Complete scope of work

One full home renovation. Every detail connected.

Bathrooms, flooring, ceilings, joinery, laundry and outdoor living were components of one complete renovation — not competing primary projects.

    Bring the renovation areas into one clear brief, separating essential work from optional improvements.

  3. 03

    Coordinate planning & pricing

    Resolve key decisions, selections, sequencing and pricing before construction begins.

  4. 04

    Manage construction & trades

    Coordinate the work across bathrooms, joinery, floors, finishes and outdoor areas as one renovation.

  5. 05

    Finish, detail & hand over

    Complete final quality checks, finishing details and the agreed handover process.

The final result

A more cohesive home for everyday living.

Modernised bathrooms, renewed ceilings, tailored storage, a luxury laundry, restored American oak flooring and new carpet now feel connected through a consistent approach to colour, materials and detail.

The home’s established character remains part of the experience, while improved function and a stronger connection to the deck and garden make the property easier to live in from day to day.

Full home renovation FAQ

Useful answers before you start planning.

These answers describe TRT’s general planning approach. The exact scope for any home is confirmed after discussing the property and renovation goals.
What does a full home renovation usually include?

The scope depends on the property and the homeowner’s priorities. It can coordinate several areas — such as bathrooms, flooring, ceilings, painting, storage, laundry and outdoor connections — within one clearly defined renovation plan.

Can The Renovation Team renovate character homes in Epsom?

Yes. TRT works with established Auckland homes, including villas, bungalows and character properties. The aim is to improve daily function and comfort while making considered decisions about the features that give the home its identity.

Can one team coordinate multiple renovation areas?

That is the purpose of a full home renovation approach. Planning the scope as one project helps align decisions, trades, materials, sequencing and finishing across the home.

How do I start planning a full home renovation?

Begin with the problems you want the renovation to solve, the spaces involved and the priorities that matter most. TRT’s enquiry flow helps organise those details before an initial discussion.

What should I prepare before the first discussion?

Bring any available plans, inspiration, known property information, your preferred scope and a realistic view of your priorities. It is fine to begin while some design decisions are still open.
