Futureproofing in Spreydon
Bev and Warren contracted Build Right to modernise and future-proof their Christchurch home. The renovation included:
- A fully redesigned kitchen with more bench space and storage, featuring a well positioned skylight to bring new life to the space along with increased functionality
- Modernised bathroom with accessibility and ease-of-use in mind
- New flooring, lighting, and insulation for year-round comfort
- Layout changes to improve flow and reduce unnecessary upkeep
- Finishes chosen for durability and timeless style
“The kitchen – oh, I love it. Everything functions how I wanted. The skylight is the highlight – it was so dark before, now it’s bright and light. Love it!”
“We felt that because we were getting near retirement, we wanted to futureproof the house. The bathroom’s been future-proofed too so we can live here a lot longer.”
– Bev
“Build Right Homes were so easy to work with… Every tradesman they use is professional, friendly, and goes out of their way. Couldn’t recommend them enough. It’s been a real breeze.”
– Warren
His words echo what many homeowners experience when working with the Build Right team — friendly, professional service from start to finish.
Why Renovating before Retirement Makes Sense
A thoughtfully designed renovation goes beyond the look and feel of your home: it’s an investment in your quality of life and home’s future, at a time when you can afford the costs involved while planning for any future challenges relating to health and accessibility.
By prioritising intelligent upgrades, you can significantly reduce ongoing maintenance costs while enhancing daily comfort and energy efficiency.
These changes also integrate subtle safety features that make everyday living easier and more convenient, especially for aging in place.
As Bev and Warren commented – “Disability rails and things you won’t notice much… but for us, it’s a major factor. We wanted somebody like Sam to project manage it and leave them to it – and that’s what happened.”
Ultimately, such renovations will add lasting value and longevity to your property, transforming it into a resilient, cost-effective sanctuary for years to come.
