Why Consider a Garage Conversion in Christchurch?
At Janssen Contractors, a garage conversion is seen as a practical way to create more living space without changing the size of your home. Many garages are rarely used for parking and often become storage areas. Converting this space allows you to add a functional room that supports daily living, whether it is used for work, guests, or family needs. The existing structure remains in place, which helps keep the project efficient and well managed.
This type of conversion works well for Christchurch homes where space, comfort, and cost are important. Garage conversions are usually faster to complete than full extensions and often involve less disruption. Do you need an extra room but want to avoid major building work? A well planned garage conversion offers a practical solution that improves how your home functions and adds long term value.
- Adds usable living space
- Increases property value
- Faster than full extensions
- Uses existing structure
Our Christchurch Garage Conversions Process
At Janssen Contractors, a well organised process makes a big difference when converting a garage. Each stage is carefully planned to keep the project clear, efficient, and easy to follow. You are kept informed from start to finish, timelines are managed properly, and all work is completed to meet Christchurch building standards. The goal is to deliver a finished space that works well, feels comfortable, and adds long term value to your home.
Step 1 | Initial Consultation
The process begins with a site visit and detailed discussion. Your garage is assessed, your goals are reviewed, and different layout options are explored. This step helps confirm feasibility and sets a clear direction for the project.
Step 2 | Design Planning
A detailed design is prepared based on how the space will be used. Layout, insulation, lighting, ventilation, and access are all considered. The aim is to create a room that feels like a natural part of the home.
Step 3 | Budget and Timeline
You receive a clear and transparent cost estimate along with a realistic timeline. This allows you to plan ahead and understand what is included before work begins.
Step 4 | Council Requirements
All relevant Christchurch council rules and building code requirements are reviewed. Any required consents and documentation are handled correctly to ensure full compliance.
Step 5 | Site Preparation
The garage is cleared and prepared for construction. Structural checks are completed, and the site is made ready for building work to begin safely and efficiently.
Step 6 | Structural and Building Work
Construction starts with framing, flooring, insulation, and wall work. This stage transforms the garage into a proper living space that meets comfort and safety standards.
Step 7 | Electrical and Plumbing
Electrical wiring, lighting, power points, and plumbing are installed where required. All work is completed by licensed trades to meet safety regulations.
Step 8 | Interior Finishing
Plastering, painting, flooring, and fittings are completed. Attention is given to detail so the space looks clean, finished, and ready for everyday use.
Step 9 | Final Inspection and Handover
The completed conversion is inspected for quality and compliance. Once approved, the space is handed over ready for you to use and enjoy with confidence.
