Three Steps to Renovation Quotes from Builders You Can Trust
Describe Your Project
Fill out our short form. Tell us:
- What type of renovation you are planning (kitchen, bathroom, extension, whole-home)
- Where your property is located
- Your rough timeline
- Any specific details that help builders understand the scope
This takes about 2 minutes. The more detail you provide, the better we can match you.
We Match You with Vetted Builders
We review your project and select up to 3 builders from our network who:
- Are licensed and insured
- Have verified experience in your project type
- Service your area
- Have capacity to take on new work
Your details are only shared with the builders we match you with. Nobody else sees your information.
Compare Your Quotes
Your matched builders contact you directly within 48 hours. They may ask clarifying questions, request a site visit, or provide an initial indication. You receive up to 3 quotes to compare on scope, timeline, and cost.
You choose who to work with. Or you choose nobody. There is zero obligation at any point.
How We Vet Our Builders
Not every builder who applies to our network gets accepted. We check:
Licence status
Every builder holds a current LBP (Licensed Building Practitioner) registration or relevant trade licence. We verify this against the official register.
Insurance
Public liability and contract works insurance must be current and adequate for the project types they take on.
Track record
We review past project work, client feedback, and any relevant industry history.
Professionalism
Builders must demonstrate clear communication practices and reliable follow-through. We remove builders who consistently fail to respond to homeowners.
Our vetting is ongoing. Builders in our network are reassessed periodically, and we act on homeowner feedback. If a builder drops their standards, they lose access to our leads.
This means when you compare builders in NZ through RenoQuotes, the baseline quality is already established. You are comparing good options, not filtering out bad ones.
What to Expect After You Submit
Within 48 Hours
You will hear from up to 3 builders. They may phone, text, or email depending on your stated preference.
What They Will Ask
Expect clarifying questions about your project. Some builders may want to arrange a site visit before quoting. This is a good sign: it means they are taking your project seriously rather than guessing a number.
What You Receive
Each builder provides their own quote or proposal. Format varies, but you can expect scope of work, indicative timeline, and pricing. Some may provide a fixed price; others may provide a range pending further assessment.
What You Decide
Compare the quotes. Ask questions. Meet the builders if you want. Then choose who to proceed with, or decide not to proceed at all. There is no pressure, no follow-up sales calls from us, and no penalty for walking away.
Common Questions About Our Service
It is genuinely free for homeowners. There is no hidden fee, no credit card, no obligation. Our service is funded by the builders in our network who pay for access to quality project enquiries. You are the customer they want to reach; they fund the matching service.
No. Your details are shared only with the builders we match you with (maximum 3). We do not sell your data to third parties, send you marketing emails, or pass your number to call centres.
We match based on project type, location, capacity, and relevant experience. If you are renovating a bathroom in Wellington, we match you with builders who have bathroom renovation experience, service Wellington, and have capacity for new work.
That is completely fine. You are under no obligation to accept any quote. If none of the options feel right, you walk away. We will not chase you or pressure you.
When you search Google, you get a mix of paid ads, SEO-optimised sites, and directory listings. You have no way of knowing who is vetted and who is not. RenoQuotes pre-qualifies the builders so you skip the research phase and go straight to comparing real quotes from verified professionals.
