INLINE

The construction industry is picking up speed, and demand is driving timelines to stretch out as projects sit in our pipeline. With our team handling multiple builds, we’re always busy ensuring that each project stays on track and meets high standards of quality.

If you're looking to start your project in the second half of 2025, now is the time to begin the design process. Starting early gives us the time we need to plan and execute your vision properly, helping to avoid delays and keep your project on schedule.

Let’s get started today and make sure your goals are met on time!

New client bookings currently from 31st March 2025 onwards.

If you're keeping a keen eye on our website, you'll know of the beginnings of the Waitoa Renovation.

We are very excited to document Marie & Fraser's journey in a 3 part video series coming to you as this project unfolds.

Here in part 1 we discuss the process of concept design, the goals and aims of the project and the pre-demo nerves!

We know it can be a daunting time but INLINE has walked this road many times before and we will walk it again with you.

If you or anyone you know is thinking of renovating, get in touch with our team today!

In our line of work we often meet people who have intended to invest in double glazing for their home. While double glazing is now a Building Code requirement, its not the silver bullet for existing and period homes that you might think.

When we talk double glazing we will use "R-Values" to describe their Thermal Resistance. Sometimes this can be a little confusing so just think of it in dollars and cents!

The R-Value of a single glazed window is $0.19 cents. If it was double glazed $0.39 cents. If you then compare this to a wall (cladding, framing, insulation & GIB), you'll be looking at $2.00 - That's a big jump right!?

Double glazing can be a significant investment in your property so before you commit to it, think about how your home could work better for you and if this may affect the window locations or layouts.

Windows are one home item that you should do it once and do it right!

Consumer NZ has a great article that explores alternate methods of heat retention, diagrams and comparatives.

Unfortunately it's not uncommon for Agents or Inspectors to gloss over details to ensure the best sale price of a property.

While walking the path to purchasing in Wellington, be informed and collect as much information as you can.

See some links below to useful websites that offer a range of information:

Wellington Web Maps: Search the property address to discover the Wind Zone, Flood Zone and Drainage Map.

Wellington City District Plan: Search the property address to understand the Assigned Precinct , Height Restrictions, Noise Zones, View Corridors and other Significant Designations.

Greater Wellington Regional Council - Shaky Ground: Search the property to determine which Shaky Ground [Earthquake] Zone the property falls within.

If you're getting serious about making an offer, don't hesitate to order the building archives for the property from the Wellington City Council - Building Consent Search website. Its a $60.00 investment that can uncover some interesting information - good and bad!

Get ahead of the game and be informed.
