Bathroom and kitchen renovations in Auckland, run by ZA Construction from strip-out to the final fit-off. We do complete bathroom and kitchen renovations, manage the project and look after the finishing work, so you are not chasing trades yourself.
What we take on
A bathroom or kitchen renovation involves more trades than most people expect: a builder, a tiler, a cabinetmaker, a painter and the licensed trades behind the walls, all needing the room at different times. We run that whole sequence for you, so you deal with one builder.
Plumbing, drainlaying, gas and electrical work has to be done by suitably licensed tradespeople, and we coordinate those trades so they arrive in the right order. Finishing is part of every job rather than an extra: the painting, sealing, trim and final adjustments are in the quote.
We also work alongside a kitchen company, so kitchen design can be handled from the first sketch through to the finished result. If a job grows into moving walls or reworking the floor plan, it becomes part of our home renovations and extensions in Auckland.

What is included
Two rooms, two lists. The exact inclusions depend on your plans, and we confirm them in your quote.
Before we start
These are the questions we ask at the start. A rough answer to each makes the quote more accurate and the build smoother.
Does everything stay where it is, or do the shower, vanity or island move?
Which tiles for the floor, shower wall and splashback, and how are they laid?
Wall-hung or floor-standing vanity, and which benchtop material suits how you use the room?
Wall-mounted or bench-mounted taps, and which finish runs through the room?
Where do you need task lighting, and do you want a backlit mirror or pendants over the island?
How much drawer, shelf and cupboard space do you need, and where?
Is there an extraction fan that vents outside, and is it big enough for the room?
Which appliances are going in, and do you want a heated towel rail?
Order of work
The order matters, because each stage hides the one before it. A typical run looks like this, and we confirm it against your job when we quote.
Old fittings, linings and cabinets come out, and we see what is behind them.
The licensed trades run new pipework and cabling to the agreed layout.
Wet areas are waterproofed before any tile goes on, then floors, walls and splashbacks are tiled.
Vanity, cabinets and benchtops go in once the surfaces are ready.
Fixtures, lighting, painting, sealing and final adjustments, then we go through the room with you.
Pricing
We do not publish dollar figures, because the price depends on the room in front of us. These are the factors that move it, and we go through them in the free quote.

Rot, damaged framing or failed waterproofing only show up at strip-out. If we find any, we tell you what it means for the budget.
Tile size and type, benchtop material and cabinetry style are the biggest choices you control.
Tapware, shower fittings, mirrors, lighting and appliances vary widely in price, and we price what you choose.
Custom design work and any building consent add to the job. Whether you need consent depends on what is changing.
Extra tiling, feature walls or additional joinery add time on site.
Portfolio

“Zaine is amazing, he helped replace my bathroom door and made the whole process extremely easy. The door looks great and he made sure everything was fitted properly before leaving. Such a genuine, lovely guy and I'd happily call him again for any other jobs. Highly recommend!”
“We recently had ZA Construction transform our downstairs area into an amazing man cave, and we couldn't be happier with the result. From start to finish, Zaine was professional, reliable, and easy to work with. His communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and they paid great attention to detail to ensure everything was completed to a high standard. The workmanship was outstanding, and they turned our vision into reality. The space is now functional, stylish, and exactly what we had hoped for. We would highly recommend ZA Construction to anyone looking for quality workmanship and a stress-free building experience. Thanks again to the team for creating such an awesome space!”
“Zaine did an outstanding job on our project! He handled the demolition of our old deck and garage, then built a beautiful new one with incredible attention to detail. He coordinated seamlessly with other subcontractors - electrician, pergola installer, plasterers - and made sure everything came together perfectly. His finishing work was top-notch and really elevated the whole look. Highly recommend Zaine for any building work - professional, reliable, and goes above and beyond!”
“100% recommend Zaine to anyone looking for a builder. We had a small house repair job that needed doing and he responded very quickly and fitted us into his busy schedule at short notice. Excellent workmanship, very professional and fantastic to deal with. So pleased to have found a reliable and quality builder for any future needs we may have.”
“Zaine was great to work with - superb communication with quick response time and a friendly manner. Overall very happy with the results of the work he's done and would highly recommend ZA construction for anyone looking for quality work!”
“We have worked with Zaine on several small building projects over the past few years and have consistently found him to be honest, reliable, and meticulous in his work. We highly recommend him and will continue to rely on him for all future building projects, including an upcoming new build.”
“Zaine was recommended to me as reliable, honest, helpful and professional. He lived up to all expectations. He made everything seem so easy, always keeping me informed as to what was happening, co-ordinating with other tradesmen, making it all effortless. Worth so much more than a five star review. Thank you Zaine.”
“We had a great experience with ZA Construction on our home improvement project. ZA Construction was professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout the build. The quality of workmanship was excellent, and they took pride in delivering a great result. We'd happily recommend ZA Construction to anyone looking for a reliable builder for their home renovations or improvements.”
“Zaine was absolutely amazing to work with! I originally just needed help with a deck extension, and he was the absolute go-to for the project. He did a fantastic job on the deck, but then he had the great idea of adding a louvre system... Next thing I knew, he was helping me source and measure a premium system from Louvre Lounge. He installed the louvre and the deck extension perfectly, creating an incredible new outdoor living space. I am already enjoying the new setup with a couple margaritas (or two) with friends on the weekends. Zaine was incredibly easy to deal with and he did a bloody good job! Highly recommend!”
“Very tidy job on our front deck - Zaine is a good communicator and helps think through the right approach to whatever problems you're trying to solve. Trustworthy and reliable.”
“Zaine helped us by building a fantastic deck at our beach house in Pauanui. His workmanship and attention to detail is second to none. He is a very good communicator and kept us up to date through the project with daily photos and txts. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks, Grant”
“Quality result, great service and exceptional communication from ZA Construction. Having the joy of progressively restoring an old villa in Grey Lynn I'm very glad to find this business that provides practical solutions and strong attention to detail.”

Reviewers mention communication more than anything else. Here is how a bathroom or kitchen job usually goes. The rest of our work is on the ZA Construction homepage.
Get a free quoteCall or send the quote form with the room, what you would like changed and where the house is.
We talk through the decisions listed above and write the quote, so you can see what is and is not included.
If the work changes the layout or structure, we work out with you whether consent is required before building starts.
We run the strip-out, then line up the licensed trades and the tiler, joiner and painter so each arrives when the room is ready.
You get updates as the work moves along, with photos and texts, and the site is tidied at the end of each day.
FAQ
Cost, order of work, design and location. For anything else, call 027 577 5892.
It depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes, the materials you choose and what we find behind the old finishes. We do not give a price without understanding the job. Tell us what you have in mind through the quote form and we will talk it through and put a free quote together.
Suitably licensed tradespeople do that work, and we schedule them so the pipes and cabling go in after the strip-out and before the waterproofing and tiling. Our part is the project management, so you are not coordinating them yourself.
We work alongside a kitchen company, so design can be handled from the first idea through to the installed kitchen. Tell us at quote stage whether you already have plans or want help with the design.
The old bathroom or kitchen is stripped out and we check what is behind it. Everything after that is built on that check, so it is the stage where surprises show up. If anything unexpected turns up, we talk it through with you before carrying on.
Often yes, and doing wet rooms together can make the trades' visits more efficient. Mention the extra room when you ask for a quote and we will include it in the scope.
Most of our renovation work is in East, Central and South Auckland, based out of Howick. Put your suburb in the quote form and we will confirm we can get to you.
