Anyone in the market renovated recently??
You might’ve seen this in the paper, local builders in Whanganui are calling out the council because smaller, sensible homes are getting stuck in approval limbo — slow consents, conflicting advice, extra costs.
Why this matters for you as a homeowner:
• If your build or reno has to dance through red tape, it means you wait longer and pay more.
• A builder who knows the drill (and keeps on top of the process) saves you headaches.
• At Bakers-Builds we’re all about making sure your job runs like clockwork — from paper to paint.
So if you’re thinking of upgrading, downsizing, or doing something smart with your home PLAN FIRST AND PLAN EARLY.
Anyone had this issue??
