Ōrewa's best streets were built out decades ago, which is exactly the problem. The walk-to-the-beach section is perfect; the 1960s weatherboard sitting on it is cold, damp, chopped into small rooms and facing away from the sun. Meanwhile the land under it is now worth more than the house ever was.
Moving means giving up the street, the school zone and the ten-minute walk to the beach. Renovating means pouring money into someone else's floor plan. A knock-down rebuild keeps everything you actually love, the location, and replaces the only part that's failing you.
A cosmetic renovation is cheap. A structural one almost never stays that way, because you don't know what you're buying until the linings come off. Rebuilds flip that: demolition is a known cost, and the new home is a set-price contract with a schedule.
Run both paths through the calculator below. Most owners are surprised which way it lands once the renovation's hidden lines are on paper:
A ballpark for budgeting, not a quote, your section sets the real number via a free site evaluation. Excludes land and site-specific works.
Indicative only, not lending advice, your bank sets the real rate and terms.

The beach town that became a suburb without losing the beach. Walkable everything, a genuine main street, and the strongest lifestyle premium on the coast for homes within ten minutes of the sand.

One team owns the whole path, so nothing falls between a demolition contractor, a designer and a builder who've never met.
Most owners rent locally for the build window or stay with family for the short gap. Because the schedule is fixed at contract signing, you're booking a rental with dates, not guesses. We'll tell you honestly what the timeline looks like for your site before you commit to anything.

“Second build with them. Same foreman both times, and that tells you everything you need to know.”
Often, once a renovation goes structural. Run your numbers in the comparison calculator below, most owners are surprised which way it lands over ten years.

Most owners rent locally for the build window. You'll have the schedule at contract signing, so you can book it with dates, not guesses.
After the site evaluation and prelim works, your quote becomes a set-price contract. From then on the price moves only for a variation you ask for, or something genuinely outside anyone's control, and we're upfront about both.
Yes. Most owners tweak a standard plan to suit their section and their life: mirror it, stretch it, move the garage. Big changes get priced before you commit.
