Those thresholds come from Schedule 1 of the Building Act 2004 — which sets out exemptions for building work that doesn’t require a building consent.

Two things catch people out.

Exempt doesn’t mean unregulated. Work on the exempt list still has to meet the Building Code. The exemption removes the building consent process, not the standard — and the gap between those two can show up years later, particularly when a property changes hands.

And a building consent isn’t the only consent. Your project might still need resource consent for the same job, depending on the zone, any overlays, and where it sits relative to your boundaries.

Not sure which side of the line your project falls on? That’s a quick conversation.

Coming back for a second project says a lot. Coming back for a third says even more.

For us, repeat clients are a reflection of the whole experience — clear communication, careful planning, realistic expectations and making the process feel manageable from start to finish.

Whether you’re thinking about an extension, reworking your layout or planning a larger renovation, the best place to start is with a clear idea of what’s possible and what should happen next.

Two houses on the same street can have completely different building constraints.

Site coverage, height in relation to boundary, yard setbacks, drainage, easements, overlays and site-specific conditions can all affect what’s possible — and none of it is obvious from the footpath.

This is why we recommend a Build & Feasibility Review before you commit too far to plans, quotes or a building contract.

We look at whether the proposed design is realistic to build, the likely consent pathway, what documentation may be required, and what needs to happen first, second and third.

Most reviews are completed within a few working days. It’s a relatively small step early on that can help avoid expensive redesign and delays later.

The hardest part of extending isn’t the building. It’s picturing it.

You can describe what you want across a kitchen table for an hour and still not quite agree on what it should look like. That’s what concept plans are for — they turn your ideas into something you can actually see, test and refine before the project progresses.

Our process starts with a meeting with our team. Bring your ideas, sketches, or simply a rough sense of what isn’t working. We’ll take the time to understand what you want to achieve and help turn those ideas into a practical, buildable concept.

Around one to two weeks later, you’ll receive your concept draft plans. From there, we can help you move into detailed costing and through the building consent process.

There’s a moment most Auckland homeowners hit. The kids need their own rooms, the one bathroom stopped working years ago, and somebody’s laptop has permanently taken over the dining table.

The instinct is to start scrolling listings. But moving means agent fees, legal fees, a new mortgage rate — and giving up the street, the school zone and the garden you’ve spent years getting right.

More often than not, the space you need is already there. It just needs to be planned properly.

That’s where we start: understanding how you actually live, then showing you what your home could become.

If your home was built between the mid-1990s and early 2000s, it pays to understand how it was designed and constructed.

Some homes from this period—particularly those with direct-fixed monolithic plaster cladding—can have a higher risk of hidden weathertightness issues. That does not mean every home has a problem, but factors such as limited eaves, complex rooflines, balconies and missing drainage cavities can increase the risk.

The good news is that you do not have to navigate it alone. We can help manage the full journey—from reviewing the property and assessing feasibility through to plans, consent and the completed build—so a potentially daunting project becomes a clear, manageable one.

A reclad is not simply a matter of removing old cladding and replacing it with something new. Before any building work starts, the home needs to be properly assessed so the design, consent requirements and likely costs are understood as early as possible.

That upfront work is what helps uncover weathertightness issues, define the real scope and reduce the risk of costly surprises once the walls are opened.

At Stable Group, we plan the full journey before the build begins — from the first assessment through to consent, construction and final sign-off.

Homes have a way of telling you when something isn’t quite right — if you know what to look for.

For plaster and monolithic homes, early warning signs can include cracks wider than the edge of a credit card around windows or corners, persistent musty smells indoors, brown staining, or paint that continues to peel despite being repainted.

One sign on its own doesn’t always indicate a problem, but when several appear together, it’s worth investigating—particularly if your home was built between 1994 and 2004.

If you’ve noticed any of these signs, we can help arrange a professional weathertightness assessment and guide you through the next steps with practical, honest advice.

Recladding is one of the biggest calls a homeowner can make — and one of the most consent-heavy renovations there is.

Because it affects weathertightness, it needs building consent, the right design, and a realistic budget before any cladding comes off.

That’s where a plan beats hope every time. We start with a feasibility check, get your concept plans and detailed costing sorted, then handle the consent — so you go in knowing the scope, the cost and the timeline.

Thinking about a reclad? Let’s talk it through before you commit.
