Welcome to our latest renovation project, where we are set to transform what can be described as the worst house on the best street in Napier Bluff Hill. This ambitious undertaking will be our largest renovation to date, and we invite you to join us on this journey as we restore this property to its former glory and beyond.
Understanding the Scope of the Project
One of the key aspects of undertaking a project of this magnitude is the necessity to level up our skills and knowledge. Tackling larger problems often leads to greater profits. Here are some critical considerations for planning a million-dollar renovation:
- Asbestos Management: Upon inspection, we discovered cladding that raised concerns about asbestos. It is essential to conduct thorough surveys to determine the type and level of asbestos present.
- Documentation: To maximise profitability, we plan to work closely with the council and ensure all necessary documentation is in place. Buyers are often willing to pay top dollar for properties with comprehensive records.
- Weatherproofing: Before any interior work can commence, we must ensure the house is weathertight. This includes re-cladding and re-roofing the building.
Key Renovation Steps
As we embark on this renovation, several critical steps will guide our process:
- Remove Asbestos: Safely remove all asbestos from the exterior of the house.
- Re-clad and Re-roof: Replace the existing cladding and roof to enhance the property’s aesthetic and structural integrity.
- Interior Transformation: Convert the existing four flats into one spacious family home, featuring four bathrooms, four kitchens, four bedrooms, and two lounges.
Preserving Character While Modernising
As we explore the interior, we encounter unique features that reflect the house’s character. For instance, the original wallpaper and native timber staircase add charm. While some elements will be updated, we aim to preserve the character that potential buyers in their late 40s to early 50s will appreciate.
