1. How long does a typical residential building project take?
The duration varies depending on the project size and complexity. A standard new home can take between 6 to 12 months, including planning, approvals, and construction.

2. What permits are required for residential construction?
Permits usually include building consent, resource consent (if applicable), and sometimes special permits for electrical, plumbing, or insulation work. JHP Building LTD assists with obtaining the necessary consents.

3. How do you estimate the cost of a new build or renovation?
Costs depend on design, materials, site conditions, and scope of work. After an initial consultation, we provide a detailed quote considering all factors to avoid surprises.

4. Can I make changes during the construction process?
Changes are possible but can affect the timeline and budget. It’s best to finalize plans early. Any variations will be managed carefully with clear communication.

5. What building materials do you recommend?
We recommend sustainable, durable materials suited to the Wellington climate, such as treated timber, weather-resistant cladding, quality insulation, and energy-efficient windows.

6. How do you ensure quality construction?
We employ experienced tradespeople, follow industry standards, and conduct regular site inspections. Transparency and communication keep the project on track.

7. What warranties or guarantees do you offer?
Our work complies with New Zealand Building Code requirements. We provide warranties on workmanship and materials, details of which are included in your contract.

8. How do you handle maintenance after project completion?
We offer guidance on routine maintenance and provide support for any issues that arise. Our team is available for ongoing maintenance visits or emergency repairs.

9. Will living in the home be possible during renovations?
It depends on the scope of renovation. Minor updates may allow continued occupancy, but major structural changes or full home builds usually require temporary relocation.
