Our Process

We are with you each step of the way

6 Step Process
With our experience, Build Me Nelson are able to stay on top of any job so you can feel secure in the knowledge that you’ve chosen wisely. Our business is a member of Master Builders.

Building or renovating is a complex process that requires careful planning, design and construction. With our years of building experience, we have been able to design a simple 6 step process that takes you from idea to reality.

It is important that the team you choose for your build has the right experience and values. We believe in open and transparent communication so that you are always kept in the loop. We find this helps everything run smoothly.

Step 1: Initial contact

We will first ask you a few questions about the work you are looking for prior to setting up a meeting. That way we are up to speed when we have our site visit.

Step 2: In-home meeting

This where we will go in depth about the vision you have for your home. We will define what goals are important for you and your family. We will discuss your budget and timeframe. We will offer you honest and expert advice on how best to achieve this vision.

Step 3: Design

We will work with your chosen designers, or put you in contact with the right designers to bring your vision to reality. This process includes both concept and detailed construction plans. After we have confirmed the design we will start working on a price for you.

Step 4: Finalise paperwork

Once the contract and pricing is agreed we will then be able to sign off all the relevant paperwork and handover an action plan to you so you can stay up to date with the project. This will include start and finish times.

Step 5: All engines are go!

The project will then be underway. We will keep you informed about the progress on site so that you can rest easy and enjoy seeing your build come to life. We will manage all inspections, compliance requirements and address any issues promptly.

Step 6: Congratulations!

We will now walk you through your new home and make sure you are 100% happy with it. We know you will be impressed! We can now raise a glass and celebrate a job well done.

What our clients say

When we finished the project part of me wished we could start another project right away. I gather that’s not the way people generally feel at the end of a huge renovation. I chalk that up to James and Louise Laird and the team they’ve built at RenovateMe. If I ever move from my dream home and have to renovate another property I wouldn’t even get a bid from anyone else.

Cynthia Pratt, Atawhai
Moving to a new town, it was good to meet with James early on and talk through the project. I like James’ direct manner and down to earth approach. James employs an experienced team and his contractors have gone the extra mile to help. Working with RenovateMe as the project manager has been ideal. I don’t chase contractors and James sorts stuff out.

Ros Gibson, Nelson
James, Louise and the RenovateMe team provided the complete package. We set up a regular program at the start of the project which made the financial side of things very easy to monitor. RenovateMe were responsive and helpful throughout the whole of the process, and had the tools and the trade skills to sort out complicated issues as they arose.

Jill Beech & John Coppola, Consulate Apartments
The thought of doing an extension on our two bedroom home, whilst living in it, was a little daunting, with two little children and a dog…… But with James and Louise from Renovate Me, it was painless. The builders, Andy and Gene, took great pride in their work, and showed much attention to detail.

The result is we have a beautiful new master bedroom, ensuite and walk in wardrobe, which we love. It has transformed our home and our lives.
