What are the current garage conversions trends in Hawke’s Bay?

Converting garage space into a family rumpus room is a popular request from Hawke’s Bay homeowners, as it’s the perfect size for music practice, games, or after school TV. Upgrading glazing and insulation helps to keep the space warm and cozy in winter, and cool during hot East Coast summers.
Many homeowners are also needing dedicated office space to make it easier to work from home. Transforming spare garage space into a home office provides the perfect solution, and can often be combined with other features such as extra storage space or creative craft area.
Your local Renovation Consultant will work with you to transform your garage into a space that’s ideal for you and your family. Home theatre? Yoga sanctuary? Second lounge? We can do it all.

How much does a garage conversion cost in Hawke’s Bay?

Are you after a full conversion to a self-contained flat? Or some simple carpeting, extra power points, and insulation for the kids? Because garage conversions vary so widely, the costs vary widely too.
