Transform Your Space Without the Stress

Renovating an existing home brings its own set of challenges. Older structures can reveal surprises once walls are opened up. Design changes mid-build can blow out budgets. And coordinating separate designers and builders creates gaps where things fall through the cracks.

At Gardo Group, we handle renovations differently. Chris and Hannah work as an integrated team from the start, assessing your home together and planning the renovation with both design intent and construction reality in mind.

That means fewer surprises, tighter timelines, and a result that actually matches what you signed up for.We take on renovations of all sizes across Tauranga, Omokoroa, Te Puna, Papamoa, and the Bay of Plenty.

Whether you are updating a single room or reconfiguring your entire floor plan, we bring the same level of planning and attention to detail.

Our Process

Every renovation follows a clear process designed to minimise disruption and keep your project on track. Here is how we work.

Initial Consultation & Site Visit

Chris and Hannah meet with you on-site to discuss your vision and review your plans. If you have your own architect, we ensure a collaborative approach, working closely with them to understand your design. If you don’t have an architect, Hannah is available to provide in-house architectural design services tailored to your needs.

Design Review & Customisation

If you’re working with Hannah, she’ll create a bespoke design that embodies your vision, while Chris provides practical insights to ensure buildability and cost-efficiency. If you’re bringing your own architect, Chris coordinates to align the construction approach with the design intent, ensuring a smooth integration between design and build.

Planning & Consent

We handle all necessary approvals and consent applications. Chris manages the construction planning and ensures everything is set for a seamless build, working in close coordination with either your architect or Hannah, depending on your chosen path.

Construction & Project Management

Chris leads the construction phase, with a strong emphasis on quality and attention to detail. Hannah remains involved, either as your chosen designer or by collaborating with your architect to make adjustments if needed. Our small, agile team ensures personalised service and a smooth experience throughout the build.

Completion & Handover

We finish by walking you through your new home, addressing any final details and ensuring your satisfaction. Whether you worked with Hannah or your own architect, our commitment to quality and personalised support continues long after you’ve moved in.

Our Guarantee

When you choose Gardo Group, you gain access to a 10-year residential guarantee. As members of both Registered Master Builders and New Zealand Certified Builders, we issue the Master Build 10-Year Guarantee or the Halo 10-Year Residential Guarantee depending on which is the right fit for your project. Either way, you get fully underwritten 10-year cover from a long-established New Zealand body.

What We Renovate

From kitchen and bathroom upgrades to full structural renovations, we handle every stage of your renovation project. Chris manages the build on site while Hannah ensures design decisions are resolved in real time, so your project stays on track and on budget.

Kitchen Renovations

A kitchen renovation is one of the highest-value improvements you can make to your home. We handle everything from layout redesign and cabinetry to plumbing, electrical, and finishing. Hannah works with you on the design while Chris manages the build, so the end result is both beautiful and functional.

Bathroom Renovations

Bathroom renovations require careful waterproofing, drainage planning, and attention to building code requirements. Our team manages the full scope, from initial design through tiling, fixtures, and sign-off.

Full Home Renovations

For larger projects that involve structural changes, extensions, or complete reconfiguration, we provide full project management with consent handling, engineering coordination, and quality oversight at every stage.

Open-Plan Conversions

Many older Bay of Plenty homes have closed-off living areas that do not suit modern lifestyles. We can assess structural requirements, remove or relocate walls, and redesign your living spaces to create open, light-filled areas that work for your family.

Testimonials

Our first new build after several full home renovations / DIY. Chris and his team were brilliant. The attention to detail was evident throughout. Things were explained at each step, and we were often given options (wrt budget choices). We have a house that we are really proud of. If we ever build new again, we will be with Gardo Group all the way. No hesitation recommending, not a single area of concern or complaint.
