At Pearson Built, we know that deciding to renovate your home is a big step, and you want to understand exactly what will happen and when. Our goal is to make the process as smooth, transparent, and stress-free as possible. With our small, dedicated team, you’ll be dealing directly with Mark, the owner, from start to finish. That means clear communication, personal service, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing your project is in experienced hands.
Here’s what you can expect when renovating your home with us:
1. Initial Consultation & Vision
Every renovation starts with your vision and a conversation with Mark. We’ll meet with you at your home to discuss your ideas, needs, and budget. Mark will personally walk you through what’s possible and suggest solutions tailored to your lifestyle and property.
Timeframe: 1–2 weeks (including follow-up questions and clarifications).
2. Design & Planning
Once we understand your vision, we’ll work with trusted designers or your chosen architect to create detailed plans. This is also when we get into the specifics — materials, finishes, and any special features. If you require help finding a designer, architect or draftsman we are more than happy to point you in the direction of people whom we know and trust.
Timeframe: 2–6 weeks (depending on the complexity of your renovation).
3. Council Consents & Approvals
If your renovation requires building consent (common for structural work, extensions, or layout changes), we’ll handle the application process. While this step can take some time, our experience helps keep things moving.
Timeframe: 4–8 weeks (varies based on council workload).
4. Pre-Construction Preparation
Before the first hammer swings, we’ll finalise your schedule, confirm trades, and order materials. This careful planning ensures we stay on track and avoid unnecessary delays once the build starts.
Timeframe: 1–2 weeks.
5. Construction Phase
This is where the magic happens. Whether it’s opening up spaces, upgrading kitchens, or adding new rooms, our skilled team works efficiently without cutting corners. Because we’re a small crew, your home won’t be lost in a queue of other projects — your renovation will have our full attention and priority.
Timeframe:
- Small renovations: 4–8 weeks
- Large renovations or extensions: 3–6 months
6. Final Touches & Handover
Once construction is complete, we’ll walk through your home with you to ensure every detail meets our high standards — and yours. We tidy up, complete any finishing touches, and hand the space back to you ready to enjoy.
Timeframe: 1 week.
7. Aftercare
Our relationship doesn’t end at handover. Mark is always just a phone call away for any questions, advice, or future ideas.
