You may have found that the needs of your family have changed since purchasing your home. Renovating your garage into a habitable space is a great way to increase the functionality, space and value of your home, while adapting your space to meet your familys current or growing needs.
Garage Conversions are becoming an increasingly growing trend among homeowners, as many homeowners are deciding to add value to their existing home rather than selling and re-buying in an uncertain housing market. Before you decide that a Garage Renovation is right for you, there are things some important things to consider which will contribute to the overall cost and complexity of the project.
The first step is to decide what you want to do with the garage space as this will determine what will be required during the Garage Conversion Process whether it be:
A Council Building Consent.
A Resource Consent.
Considerations for Unitary Plan Restrictions on your home.
Considerations for getting your garage to meet the NZ Building Code in relation to turning it from a non-habitable space to a habitable one.
