What Are You Planning?

You don't need to know whether you need an architect, designer, project manager or another specialist yet. Start with what you're planning and we can help identify the types of expertise that may be appropriate.

01

Kitchen Renovation

Planning a new kitchen, changing the layout or carrying out a larger kitchen renovation.

02

Bathroom Renovation

Updating an existing bathroom or planning a more substantial redesign and renovation.

03

Home Renovation

Renovating several areas of your home or making changes that may involve more than one trade or professional.

04

Extension or Alteration

Adding space, changing the structure or substantially altering the way part of your home works.

05

Outdoor & Landscaping Project

Planning landscaping, outdoor living areas or broader improvements to the exterior of your property.

06

Something Else or Not Sure?

That's fine. Tell us what you're hoping to achieve. You don't need to have the project or the people you need figured out beforehand.

The Project Comes First.

Rather than starting with a list of professional titles, start with the outcome you're trying to achieve. From there, it becomes much easier to work out what expertise your project may need.

Who Might You Need?

Different Projects Need Different Expertise.

The right starting point depends on what you're planning, the scale of the project and the decisions that need to be made. Here are some of the professionals who may form part of your project.

01

Design

For projects where layout, functionality, appearance and how a space works are important considerations.

Interior Designer

Can help develop the look, feel, layout and interior details of a space.

Spatial Designer

Can help rethink how interior spaces are arranged, connected and used.

Kitchen Designer

Focuses on kitchen layout, functionality, cabinetry and the way the kitchen works within the home.

Bathroom Designer

Can help develop the layout, functionality and design direction for a bathroom renovation.

Landscape Designer

Can help plan outdoor spaces, planting, landscaping and how different exterior areas work together.

02

Architecture & Planning

For projects involving more substantial alterations, additions, buildings, sites or planning considerations.

Architect

May help with the design and documentation of new buildings, extensions and substantial alterations.

Architectural Designer

May provide architectural design and documentation for renovations, additions and other building work.

Landscape Architect

Can assist with larger or more complex landscape, site and outdoor design projects.

Planning Consultant

May assist where a project involves planning rules, resource consent or other planning considerations.

03

Project Coordination

For projects where coordinating people, information, timing and the overall process may require dedicated oversight.

Project Manager

Can help coordinate the project, the people involved, key stages and communication as the work progresses.

And The Trades

Once the project direction is clearer, builders and individual trades may then be required to carry out the work.

The Mix Can Vary

Some projects may need one specialist. Others may involve several professionals and trades working together.

Still Not Sure Who Your Project Needs?

That's okay. Tell us about the project rather than choosing a professional first. We can use that as the starting point for identifying the types of people who may be suitable.
