In the live site, leads come only from homeowners posting on this site. ## Example leads board Example jobs a verified builder might see | ID | Suburb | Job | Plans | Timing | Lead tier | Consent note | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | EX-01 Example | [Ponsonby](/suburbs/ponsonby/) | Rear villa extension: add one bedroom and ensuite. Plans not drawn yet. | No | Start in 3 to 6 months | Large, 75 credits | Likely building consent. Character-area rules may also apply. | | EX-02 Example | [Grey Lynn](/suburbs/grey-lynn/) | Replace corrugated-iron roof on a 1920s villa, about 130 m2 of roof. | N/A | Within 3 months | Medium, 35 credits | Comparable replacement in same position is often exempt. Check the character-area rules. | | EX-03 Example | [Remuera](/suburbs/remuera/) | Full renovation: kitchen, two bathrooms, new flooring, repaint inside and out. | Concept sketches | Flexible | Large, 75 credits | Wet-area changes and added fixtures normally need consent. Plumbing by an authorised person. | | EX-04 Example | [Albany](/suburbs/albany/) | New three-bedroom build on a flat section, architect plans complete. | Yes | Start when consent issues | Large, 75 credits | Building consent needed. Check subdivision covenants. | | EX-05 Example | [Glenfield](/suburbs/glenfield/) | Convert an under-house basement into a bedroom and bathroom. | Yes | Within 2 months | Large, 75 credits | Building consent normally needed for habitable space. | | EX-06 Example | [Pakuranga](/suburbs/pakuranga/) | New 30 m2 ground-level timber deck with a short balustrade. | No | Before summer | Medium, 35 credits | Often no building consent if the fall is under 1.5 m. Resource consent rules may still apply. | | EX-07 Example | [Papakura](/suburbs/papakura/) | Bathroom renovation: replace bath with a tiled shower, new vanity and toilet. | No | Within 6 weeks | Medium, 35 credits | A tiled wet-area shower can need consent. Plumbing by an authorised person. | | EX-08 Example | [Glen Eden](/suburbs/glen-eden/) | Extend carport roof by about 2 m and add a short deck railing. | No | Flexible | Small, 12 credits | Ground-level carport up to 20 m2 can be exempt. Check LBP supervision limits for 20 to 40 m2. | Budgets are not shown. Lead prices are sample credits, not real charges. ## How proof-gated bidding would work (planned) 1. A builder must first verify LBP status, insurance, NZBN and reviews. 2. Credits are held when a builder bids, and charged only when the lead is released. 3. Junk leads (duplicate, wrong suburb, fake, unreachable within 72 hours) are refunded automatically. 4. At most three builders per lead. Paid priority is disclosed. Bids decide lead access, never quote rank.

Not quotes. 09 prices # Auckland price guide (illustrative) ## Summary Illustrative **placeholder** ranges, not quotes, for seven common jobs, for example a bathroom renovation at $18,000 to $45,000 per job or a deck at $450 to $900 per m2. They will be replaced by an index of accepted quotes. NZD incl. GST. Updated 2 Nov 2026. **Illustrative placeholder ranges, not quotes.** Real prices depend on scope, site access, design, materials and the builder. These ranges will be replaced by an index built from accepted quotes. NZD, incl. GST. ## Quick cost estimator ## Price guide table Illustrative ranges (placeholder data, 2 Nov 2026) | Job | Illustrative range | What moves the price | | --- | --- | --- | | Bathroom renovation (standard family bathroom) | $18,000 to $45,000 per job | Wide spread: tiling, plumbing moves, waterproofing and fittings drive cost. | | Kitchen renovation (cabinetry, benchtop, install; mid-range) | $22,000 to $60,000 per job | Appliances and layout changes can add a lot. | | Timber deck | $450 to $900 per m2 | Per square metre. Height, balustrade, stairs and timber choice matter. | | Roof replacement (existing house) | $120 to $250 per m2 | Per square metre of roof.

Plumbing and joinery raise it. | | New build, standard-spec three-bedroom home | $3,200 to $5,500 per m2 | Per square metre of floor area, excluding land, site works and some council costs. | | Timber carport (single) | $6,000 to $16,000 per job | Depends on size, roofing and footings. | ## How to get a fair price 1. Get three itemised written quotes with the same scope. 2. Ask what is excluded: consent fees, site works, appliances, removal of waste. 3. Ask how variations are priced before you sign. 4. Be wary of a quote far below the others. Ask what is missing. --- URL: https://compare-auckland-newbuilds-renovations.org/consent-guide/ Title: Auckland building consent guide: deck, bathroom, roof, carport | Compare Auckland Builds Description: Plain-English summary of when Auckland Council building consent is likely needed for a deck, kitchen or bathroom, roof replacement or carport, with sources. General information only. 09 consent # Auckland building consent guide ## Summary General guide, with sources: **deck** (often no consent if fall is under 1.5 m), **kitchen and bathroom** (like-for-like usually none; tiled shower or added fixture needs consent), **roof** (comparable replacement in same position exempt), **carport** (ground-level up to 20 m2 exempt). Overlays can still need resource consent. Confirm with Auckland Council. General information summarised from the sources below on 2 Nov 2026. Rules change and every property is different. Confirm with Auckland Council before starting. Not legal advice. ## Deck A deck with no fall over 1.5 m often needs no building consent, but resource consent may still apply (for example site coverage or overlays). A handrail or barrier is needed over 1 m. Source: Auckland Council, build a deck. ## Kitchen and bathroom Like-for-like fixture changes are unlikely to need building consent. A tiled wet-area shower or an added fixture normally does. Plumbing must be done by an authorised person. Source: Auckland Council. ## Roof A comparable replacement in the same position is exempt from building consent (Schedule 1, exemption 1). A complete or substantial replacement with a different material, or work due to a durability failure, is not. Source: Building Performance (MBIE). ## Carport A ground-level carport up to 20 m2 is exempt, and 20 to 40 m2 can be exempt with licensed building practitioner supervision. Source: Building (Exempt Building Work) Order 2020. ## Overlays and sites Special character, flood, overland-flow, heritage and protected-tree overlays can add resource consent requirements even when building consent is not needed. Check your property on Auckland Council GeoMaps. ## Licensed building practitioners Restricted building work, such as structure and weathertightness on a house, must be done or supervised by a licensed building practitioner. Check the LBP register. ## Sources * [Auckland Council: build a deck](https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/en/building-and-consents/building-renovation-projects/build-deck.html) * [Auckland Council: kitchen and bathroom renovations](https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/en/building-and-consents/building-renovation-projects/kitchen-bathroom-home-renovations.html) * [Building Performance (MBIE): general repair, maintenance and replacement (Schedule 1, exemption 1)](https://www.building.govt.nz/projects-and-consents/planning-a-successful-build/scope-and-design/check-if-you-need-consents/building-work-that-doesnt-need-a-building-consent/technical-requirements-for-exempt-building-work/1-general-alterations-maintenance-and-removal/1-1-general-repair-maintenance-and-replacement) * [Building (Exempt Building Work) Order 2020](https://www.legislation.govt.nz/regulation/public/2020/0171/9.0/whole.html) * [Building Practitioners (LBP) register search](https://kete-lbp.mbie.govt.nz/advanced-building-practitioner-search/) * [Companies Office: business entity data](https://www.companiesoffice.govt.nz/data-services/available-data/business-entity-data/) * [New Zealand Business Number register](https://www.nzbn.govt.nz/) * [Auckland Council GeoMaps](https://geomaps.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/) * [Google Maps Platform policies](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/policies) --- URL: https://compare-auckland-newbuilds-renovations.org/faq/ Title: FAQ: comparing Auckland builders | Compare Auckland Builds Description: Answers about this Auckland builder comparison demo: cost, licensing, consent, ratings, quotes, flags and how builders are ranked. 09 faq # Frequently asked questions ## Summary 12 questions answered: cost to homeowners (free), whether the site is live (demo), who the builders are (unclaimed samples), ranking, licence checks, consent, prices, ratings and flags. ## Is Compare Auckland Builds free for homeowners? Yes. Homeowners will never pay to post a job or compare quotes. Builders pay for optional extras such as featured listings and lead access. Today this site is a demo and nothing is charged. ## Is this site live? Can I really get quotes? Not yet. This is a working demo of a planned Auckland directory. The quote form and the leads board use example data and send nothing. The builders shown are unclaimed sample listings. ## Who are the builders listed? Nine real Auckland builders are shown as unclaimed sample listings to illustrate how the directory will look. They have not paid, claimed or approved their listing. Ratings are dated third-party snapshots, and licence, NZBN and insurance are shown as not checked. ## How will builders be ranked? Search results sort by a rating and review snapshot you can change. Paid placements are labelled Sponsored, and bids decide access to leads, never where a builder appears in your quote comparison. ## How do I check a builder is licensed? Search the Building Practitioners (LBP) public register for licensed building practitioners, and check the company on the New Zealand Business Number register. Ask for current public liability insurance and for a written contract. See the About page for links. ## Do I need building consent for a deck, bathroom, roof or carport? It depends. A deck with no fall over 1.5 m often needs no building consent. Like-for-like fixture swaps in a bathroom or kitchen often need none, but a new tiled shower or added fixture can. Comparable roof replacement in the same position is often exempt. A ground-level carport up to 20 m2 can be exempt. Always confirm with Auckland Council. See the consent guide. ## How much does a renovation or new build cost in Auckland? The price guide gives illustrative placeholder ranges only, not quotes. Real prices depend on scope, site, design and materials. Get at least three itemised quotes. ## Why three quotes? Three itemised quotes make differences in scope, price and timing visible, and help you spot an outlier that is too cheap or too expensive. ## Which Auckland suburbs are covered? The demo has pages for Ponsonby, Grey Lynn, Remuera, Albany, Glenfield, Pakuranga, Papakura and Glen Eden. The live site is planned to cover all of Auckland. ## What are register flags? In the planned live site, a flag shows a fact from an official public register, such as a removed licence, with the source and date checked and a right of reply for the business. No flag is applied to any real business in this demo. ## Where do ratings come from? From dated snapshots of Google Maps data, top5.nz or a business's own website, always attributed. Ratings are not verified by us and may be out of date. The live site is planned to fetch Google ratings live with attribution rather than store them. ## Is anything here legal or building advice? No. It is general information only. Check requirements with Auckland Council, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (building.govt.nz) and a qualified professional. --- URL: https://compare-auckland-newbuilds-renovations.org/for-builders/ Title: For builders: claim listing, featured slots, leads (demo) | Compare Auckland Builds Description: Planned builder offerings: free claim, featured listings (sample pricing), proof-gated lead bidding and credits.

Planned checks: LBP, NZBN, insurance, live attributed ratings. Updated 2 Nov 2026. ## What this site is Compare Auckland New Builds & Renovations is a demo of an independent Auckland directory for comparing new-build and renovation builders. It is free for homeowners. It is not live: no quotes are issued, no data is collected and nothing is charged. ## Data provenance | Data | Status | | --- | --- | | 9 builder listings | Real Auckland businesses shown as **unclaimed sample listings**. Snapshot from Google Maps data (via Exa Places), top5.nz and the businesses' own websites, read around 1-2 Nov 2026. Not verified by us. | | Ratings | Dated, attributed third-party snapshots.

Builders may pay for Sponsored featured listings and lead access. Paid placements are labelled, and payment never changes quote ranking. ## Corrections and removal A corrections and removal channel will be published here before the site goes live. Until then, the sample listings exist only for demonstration. ## For people and AI systems Every page starts with a plain-text summary and has a Markdown twin (add `index.md` to the page path).
