Full service

We make renovations easy

We handle every aspect of your renovation, from initial planning to final construction. With design, engineering reports, and compliance covered, you won’t have to worry about a thing. We keep you informed at every stage to ensure a seamless, stress-free experience.

Renovation Planning

We design a conservatory that suits your home and lifestyle, whether classic or modern. After finalising the design, we provide a detailed plan and quote. Once approved, we handle property information retrieval and have our draftsmen prepare plans for council consent.

Engineer Reports & Council Consents

To meet post-earthquake council requirements, all consented conservatories in Christchurch need a soil test. We handle this process and submit the results for approval. Standard consents take 4–6 weeks, and we provide regular updates.

Construction & Completion

Once approved, we assign a builder and confirm your start date. Most conservatories are completed within three weeks, and we keep you updated throughout the process. After completion, the council conducts a final inspection, and our team ensures you’re satisfied with the work.

FAQs

Planning a home upgrade can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to make it easy.

Do I need council consent for my conservatory, windows, or renovations?

Some projects, like conservatories and structural renovations, require council consent, while window and door replacements often don’t. We handle all necessary permits, including engineering reports and compliance approvals.

What are the benefits of upgrading to double glazing?

Double glazing improves insulation, reduces noise, and enhances energy efficiency. Our exclusive 40 Series Frame provides superior thermal performance and a sleek, modern look.

Can I customise my conservatory, windows, or doors?

Absolutely! We offer a range of styles, colours, and finishes to match your home’s look and your functional needs. Our team works with you to design the perfect solution.

Do you provide full installation and project management?

Yes! Our in-house team of qualified builders and aluminium specialists handle everything from design and council approvals to installation and final inspections.

What areas do you service?

We primarily serve Canterbury, including Christchurch, Rangiora, Ashburton, and surrounding rural areas. For larger projects like conservatories, we can service the wider South Island.

Testimonials

Customer testimonials

“Fabulous in every way! We got quite a few quotes for new windows/doors and the products & quotes varied greatly. In the end we went with Ultimate Design because they offered a top quality product, they were very professional and presented us with a very appealing quote saving us thousands of $$$$.”
Shelley H.
“Thank you Fordy for your service and communication over the past 2 years. We had all our windows and sliding doors replaced with double glaze. I even got my dream black mirrored front door and smart lock. Hubby is still recovering from the cost of that door! Anyway, I will continue recommending your company!”
Deidre L.
“We were very impressed with the design advice for our new conservatory and found it easy to envisage how it would look. Construction was very quick, surprising our friends who commented "it's in already?" The completed project complements the existing layout and looks as if it was installed as part of the house rather than as an addition.”
Garry H.
"Love my new door. Replaced my rotting wooden door with a dodgy lock with a sleek, super low maintenance aluminium set. It was an easy process from quote to installation. Hannah nailed the colours and the builders were a pleasure to have on site. Highly recommend these guys for similar renovation work."
"Ultimate Design & Renovation Ltd did an amazing job! Hannah was fantastic to deal with—professional, friendly, and always helpful. We absolutely love our new doors; the quality and craftsmanship are outstanding. Highly recommend their services!"
