Whether re-cladding your home requires council consent can vary depending on the nature and scope of the project. In many cases, minor re-cladding or repairs that do not significantly alter the building's structure or materials used may not require council consent. However, if your re-cladding project involves substantial changes to the external appearance, materials, or structural elements of your home, it is likely that you will need to obtain council consent.

On our initial visit, we will determine whether your specific re-cladding project requires council consent. We will assess your project's scope, review local regulations, and provide guidance on the necessary approvals and permits specific to your home. It's important to ensure compliance with local regulations to avoid any potential issues during or after the re-cladding process.

The duration for obtaining council approval can vary depending on various factors, including the complexity of your project and the specific requirements of your council body whether Tauranga City or Western Bay Council. Typically, this process involves the submission of your project plans to the council for review and approval. Before we submit the final plans to the council, we provide pricing plans, allowing you to make any necessary changes. While we cannot provide an exact timeframe as it depends on the council schedule, we will include a detailed timeline in conjunction with the design quote, so you'll have a clear estimate of how long each stage may take.

The cost of re-cladding your house can vary significantly based on the scope of the project, the materials used, and the design choices you make. During the initial consultation with Jordan, he will have a look at your house and discuss what needs to be done to achieve your vision. Following this meeting, you will receive a rough estimate, which can serve as a ballpark budget for your project. For a more accurate quote, we will arrange a meeting with our architectural designer to delve deeper into the specifics of your project. We’ll provide you with a quote for the design and council approval process. Upon acceptance and once the design is complete we can then provide you with a comprehensive quote for the building costs based on the materials used and design choices you’ve made.

Once we have gained council approval for your project, we will promptly schedule your job for commencement. The exact start date will depend on our project schedule at that time, as well as any other factors specific to your project. We understand the importance of timely execution and will work closely with you to accommodate your scheduling preferences as much as possible.
