Frequently Asked
Questions

The cost of recladding a house depends heavily on various contributing factors, such as the design and size of the home as well as the materials used. To give you an idea, a typical house recladding in central Auckland of a 140m2 single-story home could cost around 140k+gst. A more complicated, architecturally complex home of a similar size could cost more than 350k+gst.

At the end of the day, recladding your home is a worthy investment, especially if your home is experiencing leaks. If you are interested in receiving an estimate for the costs involved in recladding your home, Outlast Builders would be more than happy to assist.

More often than not, you will not need building consent for simple bathroom renovations. However, it is important to take into consideration any fittings that you'd like to add. 

If you are simply upgrading fittings, consent is not needed, but it may be required if you are adding new fittings, such as installing a bathtub where one does not currently exist. The same goes for structural work and if the bathroom is undergoing any major changes when it comes to the layout.

If you are adding a wet area bathroom where the shower is level entry, you will also require building consent.
