Our Kitchen Renovations Process

At LCL Construction Ltd, we follow a structured, professional approach to kitchen renovations, ensuring a smooth experience from start to finish. Whether you’re upgrading a small apartment kitchen or creating a high-end chef’s space, we handle everything—from planning and design to construction and final installation.

Below is our comprehensive kitchen renovation process, broken down into key stages so you know exactly what to expect.

  • Before any work begins, we meet with you to understand your needs, assess your existing kitchen, and develop a plan that aligns with your vision, budget, and lifestyle.

    1.1 On-Site Consultation & Project Scope Definition

    • Discuss your design preferences, functionality needs, and budget expectations.

    • Assess your existing kitchen layout, plumbing, electrical, and structural conditions.

    • Identify potential layout reconfigurations, storage solutions, and appliance placements.

    • Provide preliminary cost estimates and project timeline expectations.

    1.2 Feasibility & Compliance Review

    • Determine whether Building Consent (BC) is required (for structural work, layout modifications, or plumbing/electrical upgrades).

    • Ensure compliance with NZ Building Codes & council regulations.

    • Plan for any resource consent applications if major alterations are involved.

  • Once the initial assessment is complete, we move on to finalizing the design, selecting materials, and preparing for construction.

     

    2.1 Custom Kitchen Design & Layout Finalization

    • Work with our designers and architects (or your preferred designer) to develop concept plans.

    • Finalize kitchen layout, cabinetry configurations, and appliance placements.

    • Optimize workflow with functional design principles (e.g., the kitchen work triangle).

    • Choose from custom-built cabinetry or modular kitchen options.

    2.2 Material & Fixture Selection

    • Select benchtops (engineered stone, granite, marble, stainless steel, etc.).

    • Choose kitchen cabinetry finishes, soft-close mechanisms, and storage solutions.

    • Pick backsplashes, sinks, tapware, lighting fixtures, and flooring options.

    • Confirm appliance specifications or smart kitchen integration options.

  • With the kitchen design finalized and materials selected, we prepare the site for construction, ensuring a safe, organized, and efficient work process.

    3.1 Finalizing Contracts & Council Approvals

    • Renovation contract signed, finalizing the project scope, timeline, and budget.

    • Submit council applications (if required) for Building Consent (BC), Resource Consent, or any structural modifications.

    • Obtain approvals for plumbing, gas, and electrical modifications (if applicable, e.g., switching from electric to gas cooktops).

    • Confirm material orders and delivery schedules to avoid delays during construction.

    3.2 Site Preparation & Demolition

    • Install protective coverings to safeguard flooring, carpets, and adjacent rooms from dust and debris.

    • Safely disconnect and remove existing kitchen cabinetry, appliances, benchtops, splashbacks, and flooring.

    • Secure and remove existing appliances carefully, ensuring that any reusable items can be stored or reinstalled.

    • Perform structural reinforcements or wall modifications, such as knocking down walls for an open-plan layout or strengthening load-bearing structures.

  • This phase focuses on structural modifications, plumbing and electrical installations, and other system upgrades before kitchen fittings are installed.

    4.1 Plumbing, Gas & Electrical Works

    • Install or modify water supply, drainage, and gas lines as per the new layout.

    • Upgrade switchboards, electrical outlets, and lighting for compliance and efficiency.

    • Install underfloor heating (if included in the renovation plan).

    4.2 Wall Lining & Flooring Installation

    • Install GIB boards or other wall linings, ensuring smooth surfaces for painting.

    • Lay down flooring (SPC, timber, laminate, or tile flooring options available).

    • Conduct waterproofing for wet areas (near sinks and dishwashers).

  • This is where your kitchen starts to take shape with new cabinetry, benchtops, and appliance installations.

    5.1 Custom Cabinetry & Benchtop Installation

    • Install kitchen cabinetry, soft-close drawers, and storage solutions.

    • Fit stone, engineered stone, or stainless steel benchtops.

    • Install backsplashes (glass, tile, or stone) for a polished look.

    5.2 Appliances & Smart Kitchen Integration

    • Install cooktops, ovens, rangehoods, dishwashers, and refrigerators.

    • Set up smart kitchen integrations (voice-controlled lighting, automated appliances, etc.).

  • With the kitchen now fully assembled, we perform detailed finishing work and final inspections before handing over your newly renovated space.

    6.1 Painting, Fixtures & Finishing Touches

    • Apply final paint coats and touch-ups.

    • Install light fittings, handles, taps, and final electrical connections.

    • Conduct a deep clean to remove dust and construction debris.

    6.2 Final Inspection & Handover

    • Perform a final walkthrough with the client to ensure satisfaction.

    • Arrange for a council final inspection (if applicable) to secure a Code Compliance Certificate (CCC).

    • Provide all warranties, maintenance guides, and after-service support details.

  • 9. Can I make changes to my home during construction?
    Minor modifications may be possible in early stages, but structural or major design changes can impact timeline and costs. We recommend finalizing designs before construction begins.
  • 3. Do I need both Building Consent and Resource Consent?
    Yes, Building Consent is required for all new builds to ensure compliance with the NZ Building Code. Resource Consent is only needed if your design breaches Auckland Unitary Plan rules, such as exceeding height limits or altering land use.
  • 7. Do I need to pay a development contribution fee?
    Yes, Auckland Council requires a Development Contribution Fee, which helps fund infrastructure. Costs vary by location and project size, typically ranging from NZD $21,000 to $50,000+ per dwelling.
  • 6. Are there additional costs besides construction?
    Yes, aside from the construction cost, other expenses include architectural and engineering design fees, council permits, geotechnical reports, stormwater & drainage design, development contributions, and site preparation. We provide a detailed cost breakdown upfront to avoid surprises.
  • 8. What are the key stages of the new build process?
    Our process includes: 1️⃣ Pre-Construction – Consultation, design, approvals. 2️⃣ Site Preparation – Surveying, excavation, foundation work. 3️⃣ Structural Build – Framing, cladding, roofing. 4️⃣ Interior Fit-Out – Electrical, plumbing, insulation, and finishes. 5️⃣ Final Checks & CCC Approval – Council inspections and compliance certification. 6️⃣ Handover & Aftercare – Walkthrough, warranties, and ongoing support.

  • 2. What is the first step in building a new home?
    The first step is an initial consultation where we discuss your budget, design preferences, and site conditions. From there, we arrange architectural designs, structural engineering plans, and council approvals before construction begins.
  • 4. Who takes care of council applications and permits?
    At LCL Construction Ltd, we handle all necessary permits, including Building Consent, Resource Consent (if needed), and Code Compliance Certificate (CCC) applications. We also manage council inspections throughout the build.

  • 1. How long does it take to build a new home from start to finish?
    The timeline for a new build depends on the complexity and size of the home. Typically, a standard new build takes 8 to 12 months, including design, council approvals, and construction. More complex architectural builds may take longer.

    We provide ongoing support, including scheduled follow-ups and assistance with any post-move-in concerns. Our goal is to ensure you’re 100% satisfied with your new home.

    Your vision is our priority! At LCL Construction, we offer a collaborative design process, where you can: ✔ Share your ideas and inspirations with our team. ✔ Select materials, colors, and finishes that suit your style. ✔ Customize layouts to fit your lifestyle. If you need guidance, our architects and designers provide expert recommendations while ensuring functionality, aesthetics, and compliance.
  • 2. Can we live in the house during the renovation?
    It depends on the scale of the renovation. For minor renovations, you may be able to stay in the house, but for a full house renovation, we usually recommend vacating the property to: ✔ Ensure your safety – Construction sites involve dust, noise, and potential hazards. ✔ Speed up the work process – Unoccupied homes allow our team to work efficiently without disruption. ✔ Reduce stress – Avoid the inconvenience of living in a half-finished space. If temporary relocation is needed, we can help you plan alternative living arrangements and schedule the work in phases to minimize disruption.
  • 9. What kind of warranty do you offer on your work?
    We stand by the quality of our craftsmanship and offer: ✔ 2-Year Workmanship Warranty for Full House Renovations – Covers workmanship defects to ensure lasting quality. ✔ Optional Master Build 10-Year Guarantee – Covers structural and workmanship issues, providing long-term peace of mind. Our commitment doesn’t end after completion—we provide ongoing support if you need any post-renovation assistance.

    Yes! A professionally executed renovation can significantly boost your home's: ✔ Market value – Higher resale price in the real estate market. ✔ Functionality & comfort – Improved living space for your family. ✔ Energy efficiency – Upgraded insulation, heating, and modern appliances. The exact value increase depends on: ✔ The quality of renovations and materials used. ✔ The current real estate market in your area. ✔ The extent of upgrades, especially in kitchens, bathrooms, and exterior appeal. We focus on renovations that enhance both your lifestyle and property value, ensuring a strong return on investment.
  • 5. How do you handle unexpected issues that arise during the project?
    Renovations can sometimes uncover hidden issues, such as structural weaknesses, outdated wiring, or plumbing defects. Our team is well-prepared for such scenarios, and we handle them by: ✔ Promptly assessing the issue and providing solutions. ✔ Keeping you informed with options and cost implications before proceeding. ✔ Implementing contingency plans to avoid significant delays. Our goal is to solve problems quickly and efficiently, ensuring your renovation stays on track without compromising quality.
  • 6. Do I need to obtain permits for a full house renovation?
    In most cases, yes. Full house renovations typically require Building Consent (BC) if they involve: ✔ Structural changes (removing or adding walls, extensions). ✔ Major plumbing or electrical upgrades. ✔ Re-cladding or significant exterior alterations. At LCL Construction, we take care of: ✔ All permit applications and council approvals. ✔ Liaising with Auckland Council to ensure compliance. ✔ Managing any Resource Consents required (for zoning, height restrictions, etc.). We handle the entire compliance process to make your renovation as hassle-free as possible.
  • 1. How long does a full house renovation typically take?
    The timeline for a full house renovation varies based on scope, home size, and potential structural work. On average, a full house renovation takes between 3 to 9 months, depending on: ✔ The complexity of the renovation (cosmetic vs. structural changes). ✔ Building Consent (BC) requirements (if structural work is involved, such as adding a timber frame). ✔ Council processing times for consent approvals. At LCL Construction, we provide a detailed project timeline during the planning phase and keep you updated throughout the renovation to ensure everything stays on track.
  • 3. How do you ensure the project stays within budget?
    At LCL Construction, we prioritize transparent pricing and cost control by: ✔ Providing a detailed, itemized quote before work begins. ✔ Regular budget reviews and updates throughout the project. ✔ Sourcing high-quality materials at competitive prices through our trusted supplier network. ✔ Efficient project management to minimize costly delays. We believe in honest communication, so if any unexpected costs arise, we discuss them with you before proceeding with changes.
  • 4. What if we want to make changes during the renovation?
    We understand that you may want to adjust plans as the project progresses. While we are flexible, it’s important to note that: ✔ Minor changes can usually be accommodated with little to no impact on cost/timeline. ✔ Significant alterations (such as layout changes or material swaps) may affect the timeline and budget. For projects requiring Building Consent (BC): ✔ Major design changes should be finalized during the architectural planning phase, before submitting the consent application. ✔ Changes after BC approval may require an amendment to the consent, which can lead to delays and additional costs. We encourage early communication to ensure all changes are assessed for feasibility and cost-effectiveness.
