If you’ve been considering converting your garage into a unique new space, your local Refresh Renovations Specialist can help. Refresh specialises in managing bespoke designs and builds to suit each customer's needs, budget and timeframe and can help you to achieve a high-quality result that perfectly suits your lifestyle.   

What garage conversion services do Refresh Renovations Waikato offer?

Refresh can support you with every stage of your garage conversion, including:
- Garage conversion designs

- Converting a garage into a living space
- Garage-to-bedroom conversions
- Garage-to-office conversions
- Garage door conversions
- Demolition
- Construction

- Painting and decorating

How much does a garage conversion cost?

Based on Refresh’s previously completed garage conversions, you should expect to pay approximately $150,000+* to convert your garage into a habitable living space. However, this is only a ballpark estimate. The final cost of your project will depend on a wide range of factors including your project specifications, council consent requirements, site conditions, access and the materials you wish to use. For a cost estimate accurate to your ideas, please get in touch. 

What are some important things to consider when converting a garage?

During the design phase of your conversion, you’ll likely want to consider ways to bring more natural light into your garage. You might want to achieve this by installing bifold doors, new windows or perhaps skylights. It takes a lot of work to convert a garage into a habitable space, with electrical work, insulation, plumbing and water connections being just a few of many considerations. Converting a garage into a habitable space also requires building consent and must be carried out in accordance with the Building Code. Unless you are an experienced builder or architect with a firm understanding of these obligations, it is important to ask an expert to help you to navigate these requirements 

How does the Refresh design and build process work?

Refresh’s process has been designed to make life easy for renovating homeowners. Your local Refresh Renovations Specialist can take care of every aspect of your garage conversion, including: design, feasibility, consents, costings, scheduling, deliveries and project management. Throughout this process, you can communicate with your project manager and see updates at any time using the Refresh Renovations Customer Portal.

Your Style,
Your Budget,
Our Expertise

Refresh®’s process supports a bespoke design and build: a renovation tailored to your lifestyle requirements and taste. Your local Garage Conversion renovation consultant will manage every aspect for you - working to keep everything on track.

Step 1

Initial Consultation

The first thing your Garage Conversion renovation consultant will want to know is what it is that you want to achieve through your home renovation. In this initial consultation, you can throw all of your ideas on the table - your consultant will then tailor them to your property and budget.

Step 2

Scoping and Feasibility

With a clear understanding of your renovation goals, your Garage Conversion consultant can arrange for an architectural concept to be drawn up. This allows your Garage Conversion consultant to assess whether or not your ideas are feasible, and allows you to point out any changes you would like in the design - before any work begins.

Step 3

Detailed Planning and Costing

Next, working drawings will be developed. These will take into account the engineering, structural, design and aesthetic decisions you have made. If you would like to make any further changes, now is the time to do so. From there, your Garage Conversion consultant will present you with a fixed-quote as well as a contract.

Step 4

Build Stage

Finally, you get to witness your project transition from the page to your property! Every aspect of the build will be managed for you, allowing you to carry on with your everyday life. Your Garage Conversion consultant will do everything in their power to keep your project on schedule so that it can be completed within a set timeframe and budget.

Step 5

Project Completion

The final stage is for your local Garage Conversion consultant to ensure that all Council documentation is completed and you have the necessary Code of Compliance documentation. Congratulations – your renovation is complete!
