FAQ
Where do the cost figures come from?
Current NZ renovation cost guides and trade pricing, checked at plan time and linked as sources — not American blog numbers. Ranges, because your quotes will vary; get three of them for anything big.
Can it really know my street's ceiling?
It checks your suburb's price band live and keeps recommendations inside it — the number-one over-capitalisation mistake is renovating for a street you don't live on.
What if I'm selling?
You'll also get the cheap presentation wins — paint, light, landscaping — and when you're ready to list, our sister tools Property Evaluator (what it's worth now) and Staged.studio (virtual staging for the listing) finish the job.
