North Shore Building FAQs

  • We start with an in-depth consultation to understand your goals, style preferences, and budget. Following this, we conduct a site assessment and develop initial concept sketches. We incorporate your feedback and refine the design through collaborative 3D modelling. Once the design is finalised, we assist with material selections and provide a comprehensive quote. Throughout the process, we prioritise clear communication to ensure your vision is flawlessly translated into your new space.

  • Council approval requirements vary depending on the scope of your project. Generally, significant structural changes, extensions, or alterations that affect the streetscape may need approval. We're well-versed in North Shore Council regulations and can guide you through the approval process. Let us help you understand the requirements for your specific project.

  • While each project is unique, a typical single-room renovation like this takes approximately 3-4 weeks. Factors that can influence the timeline include the size of the project, the complexity of the design, material availability and any unforeseen issues that may arise.
