The 445 Approach to Recladding Auckland Properties

1. Design Input:

We start by working closely with you to understand your vision and requirements. Our team can provide design input, and help you select the best materials and finishes that match your aesthetic preferences and budget.  The outcome is to get a set of plans to council you are happy with.

‍

2. Consent Process:

Navigating the consent process with the council can be complex, but we’re here to simplify it for you. Our team will handle all the necessary permits and documentation, ensuring your project complies with local regulations and standards.

‍

3. Onsite Works:

Once we’ve obtained the required consent, we’ll commence the project. Our team will begin by preparing your property, decommissioning appliances/services, demolition, and addressing any underlying issues, for example, if we uncover any as-built construction faults. We’ll keep you informed at every stage, ensuring transparency and clear communication. We'll also chat to your neighbours, keeping them in the loop of what's going on and let them know they can contact us with any issues or questions direct.

‍

4. Project Management:

Throughout the project, we manage all required sub-trades, coordinating their work to ensure efficiency and quality. We maintain a safe and tidy work area, minimizing disruption to your daily life and ensuring a smooth workflow.  Typically, we will be dealing with electricians, plumbers, heat pump specialists, scaffolders, a demolition crew, builders, joinery manufacturers, stoppers & painters to name a few.

‍

5. Regular Communication:

We believe that regular communication is key to a successful project. You’ll receive frequent updates on progress, and we’re always available to answer your questions and address any concerns. This open line of communication ensures that you’re always in the loop and confident about the project’s direction.

‍

6. Handling Surprises:

We understand that surprises will arise during reclad projects. Whether it’s unexpected structural issues or changes in design preferences, our team is adept at managing these challenges. We’ll work with you to find the best solutions, making the journey less bumpy and overwhelming. These surprises can typically be dealt with by a Minor Variation onsite or an Amendment, which will require a more thorough council approval process.

‍

7. Completion, Handover, and Final Documentation:

As we near completion, we’ll conduct thorough inspections to ensure every detail meets our high standards. The handover process includes a walkthrough with you, addressing any final adjustments needed. We’ll also provide comprehensive documentation, including warranties and maintenance guides, to give you peace of mind.

‍

At 445, we’re committed to delivering a seamless and stress-free recladding experience. Our holistic approach covers every aspect of the project, from initial design to final handover, ensuring your investment is well-protected and your home looks stunning.
