How to Save Big on your Home Renovation
27 October 2022
Worried about rising interest rates and materials costs?
We reveal the best way to get a more affordable renovation
without compromising on style or quality.
The same thing is happening in New Zealand. Six out of 10 Kiwi homeowners believe it is better to renovate than relocate in the current market, according to research by survey firm Pureprofile.
The reasons are both economic and personal. After months of being stuck in lockdown, we all know what we don’t like about the homes we’ve got – and what we’d like to do about it. If we bought more than a year or two ago, we’ll still have equity in our homes.
And if we’re smart about how we go about it, renovating doesn’t have to be as costly as it’s made out to be – even in these times of rising interest rates and material costs.
We’ve found that one of the best ways to save money while still getting the results you want is to
choose a design + build operator committed to great value as well as great work.
That, of course, would be your local Pzazz Building owner. He or she can save you money on your new bathroom, kitchen or other renovation in all these ways:

Renovating your house can be a great way to get your dream home and climb the housing ladder, but it can also be a trap for the unwary. It’s all too easy to make innocent mistakes and find yourself in a bottomless money-pit, as Tom Hanks and Shelley Long did in the hilarious 1986 movie, The Money Pit . When you renovate as many homes as we do, you get to spot many traps that unsuspecting homeowners have fallen into. Here are some of the most common renovation traps and how to avoid them.
Once upon a time, doing the laundry used to be such a time-consuming chore that it warranted its own room. Not any more.

The idea for this article came from a funny article we read called “Creating Needed Distance Between Me and My Kids” . We can all relate to it. Having a sense of your own space is a healthy thing. But how can you get that in your family household? Often in a busy home, it’s difficult to find a place that’s special to you where you can get away from it all and unwind. Here are some of our best suggestions for creating that special place you can go when you need to:
Master bedrooms deserve just as much care and attention as any other room in your home. Possibly more in fact, because it is your retreat, your relaxing child-free space, and even your romantic getaway room! To help get your master bedroom redesign journey started we have curated our top five tips for a beautiful master bedroom.
Who is your home built for? Traditionally, homes have been built for Joe and Jill Average and their family of 2.5 kids. But what happens if Jill’s elderly mother comes to live with them, Joe is disabled by a car accident and the kids leave home? More and more of us are now realising that our homes should be designed for access and use by everyone, regardless of age, lifestyle or physical condition, and that it actually pays to take Universal Design into account when renovating.
