House extensions · Tauranga
House extensions in Tauranga that connect old and new properly.
An extension succeeds at the junction with the existing home. DELVIK coordinates structure, roofing, cladding, waterproofing, services, temporary protection and the sequence needed to keep the property safe during construction.
More space without losing control of the existing building.
Extension pricing depends on more than the new floor area. The builder must understand the existing structure, levels, drainage, services, ground conditions and how the building will remain weatherproof while openings are formed.
DELVIK reviews the available survey, architectural and engineering information, confirms access and identifies temporary works or investigations that should be included before a programme is committed.

Extension delivery priorities
Water management
Plan roof, cladding, flashing and opening sequences to protect the home during and after construction.
Services
Confirm how power, plumbing, drainage, heating and communications cross the old-to-new boundary.
Client access
Set realistic expectations for occupation, temporary facilities, noise and security.
Extension work across Tauranga

Common questions
Do extensions require consent?
Many structural and building-envelope extensions do. Your designer or council can confirm the pathway for the specific scope.
Can DELVIK price concept plans?
We can review them and identify missing information, but reliable trade pricing usually requires developed drawings and defined finishes.
