Commercial Renovations That Drive Higher Rents
Renovating commercial spaces, such as bars, restaurants or even offices is essential for maintaining a competitive edge in today’s Wellington market. It not only enhances the visual appeal of your property but also ensures compliance with current building regulations and safety standards. Effective commercial renovation contributes to increased property value, increased rents and improved tenant satisfaction. By incorporating the latest interior design trends, while not excluding exterior street appeal, businesses can ensure that their commercial properties remain relevant and attractive to potential clients and partners. Couple this with new technologies such as smart appliances, lighting and energy efficiency, and you’ll be ticking many boxes for socially responsible corporates.
Types of Commercial Fit Outs
Commercial fit-outs are diverse, catering to different types of businesses and sectors. These can range from office fit-outs that optimise workspace efficiency to retail shop fits that enhance the customer experience. Each type of fit-out requires careful consideration of design, layout, and functionality to ensure that it meets the specific requirements of the business. Landlords or building owners are often required to foot the fit-out bill when leasing commercial spaces, so you need a partner who can balance costs versus net payoff. With expert project management and a skilled construction team from Refurb Plus, your tenants can achieve a seamless transformation of their commercial spaces, whether in Auckland, Wellington, or across NZ, all while staying on budget, so your property portfolio remains profitable.

Heritage Building Renovations
Renovating heritage buildings requires a delicate balance between preserving historical character and updating the space to meet modern standards. These projects are particularly significant in cities like Wellington, where preserving cultural heritage is a priority. We specialise in heritage building refurbishment, offering custom solutions that respect the building’s original features while improving functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Common refurbishment requirements are:
- Window refurbishment / replacement
- Door repairs / replacement
- Maintaining structural integrity
- Re-tiling
- Re-cladding and more.
As many windows and door fittings in heritage builds are unique, out of shape and were originally handmade, we custom make and replace such items to match and preserve the building’s original character. These projects often involve complex repair and alteration processes that require skilled craftsmanship and a deep understanding of historical architecture. Navigating regulatory requirements and ensuring compliance with preservation guidelines adds another layer of complexity to these undertakings.

Commercial refurbishment projects demand the use of premium materials and skilled workmanship to achieve superior results.

Ongoing Property Maintenance
Ongoing property maintenance is a key ingredient in preserving the functionality and appearance of commercial properties.

Consistent upkeep ensures that commercial spaces remain compliant with safety regulations and continue to meet the client’s needs. By prioritizing maintenance, businesses can safeguard their investments, avoiding costly repairs by finding issues early, and maintain a competitive edge in the market.
Strategies for Effective Property Maintenance
Effective property maintenance strategies involve a proactive approach to identifying potential issues before they escalate into major problems.

Utilising advanced technology for monitoring building systems can enhance efficiency and accuracy in maintenance operations. By adopting these strategies, businesses can ensure the longevity and reliability of their commercial properties.

Regulations can vary significantly between regions, requiring a thorough understanding of local building codes and standards. Refurb Plus ensures that all aspects of the renovation, from structural alterations to safety protocols, meet these regulatory requirements.
