Do you build new homes as well as renovate in Waiuku?

Yes. Rag Renos works on custom new homes, renovations and extensions. Contact us to discuss your property and the scope you have in mind.

Do I need a geotechnical report?

The investigation needed depends on your property and proposed work. Ask your designer and engineer what information is needed for the foundations and consent application.

Which council should I contact for a Waiuku project?

Check your Waiuku property’s planning and building requirements with Auckland Council. Confirm the council responsible for the exact address when planning work elsewhere in Franklin.

Can you work on a lifestyle property?

Talk to us about your site. Access, services and wastewater need to be considered in the scope and budget for rural or lifestyle properties.

How do I get a price for my project?

Start with a free consultation. A detailed scope and investigation of the property help establish a project-specific price, with clear inclusions, exclusions and a process for changes.

Planning a building project in Waiuku

Ground conditions and foundations

Ground conditions vary between properties. Ask your designer and engineer what site investigation is needed, especially if the project includes new foundations. Do not assume a neighbouring property’s foundation design will suit yours.

Flood risk, stormwater and services

Check the property information, drainage and available services early. Rural and lifestyle properties may have different wastewater and access requirements from a serviced township section. Resolve these with the appropriate professionals before settling the budget.

Zoning and consent checks

Waiuku property planning is covered by Auckland Council. Check the property’s zone and overlays using the council’s planning information. Confirm building and resource consent requirements for the proposed work with your designer. Different rules apply across the wider Franklin area, so check the responsible council for each address.

Budgeting for your Waiuku project
