Refresh Renovations Tauranga - Sharon Giblett
Architects in Tauranga, Bay of Plenty
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 July 2022
“We engaged the services of Sharon Giblett of Refresh Renovations Tauranga for our bathroom, ensuite and toilet renovation. From start to finish the project ran smoothly. Given Omicron landed bang in the middle of our project Sharon’s professionalism, attention to detail, and problem solving ability saw the project completed on time albeit in difficult circumstances which was an exceptional result. We cannot speak highly enough of Sharon and her contractors. The quality of the finished product has exceeded our expectations and helped realise the vision we had for those spaces. Julie and I would not hesitate to recommend others seek Sharon out if you're considering a similar project.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 April 2019
“Great job on my bathroom renovation. Every contractor who worked on the project was respectful, hard working and professional. Project did run over schedule slightly but was well worth the time. Every stage was made easy with the planning done by Cameron, and I feel he really listened to what I wanted and made it happen. Would recommend to friends and use again if ever needed.”
Craig Flowerday Design
Architects in Tauranga, Bay of Plenty
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 March 2016
“Craig listened to our raw ideas and transformed them into a realisable home that looks great and that we really love living in. From the initial planning stages we were impressed with Craig’s ability to adapt our ideas into a workable plan. The design stage was an easy, streamlined process with good communication and amazing results. Craig continued to be quietly efficient during the construction and completion phases and was able to advise us when concepts were unworkable or needed revision. There are some wonderful features to the house and the feel of the spaces is wonderful. We wanted a character home with light, bright and open spaces that gave a sense of timelessness – and that is exactly what we got! It has amazing street appeal and, more importantly, a great feeling of flow throughout. We just love the house and have had so many compliments on it – we even have people walking past stopping to stare and some are even brave enough to knock on the door and ask who designed it. We would have no hesitation in using Craig again and recommending him to others. Suzanne & Mark.”

A well-chosen architect can design a home that is specifically tailored to your family's lifestyle. Highly competent and professionally-trained designers, many architects in Tauranga, Bay of Plenty also use sustainable design principles to maximise the site and materials used, so your home uses less energy and saves you money in the long term.

If your renovation is more than a simple benchtop replacement or roof re-tiling job, then it may be time to find an architect in Tauranga, Bay of Plenty who can manage your project from start to finish. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, the scope can span from planning sustainable design into your renovations, to selecting furniture and even interior finishes.

How do I find the right architect for my home design project?


An architect is often the first person you hire for your project. Before taking steps to find an architect in Tauranga, Bay of Plenty, ask yourself what you want to achieve from your renovation or home construction. Do you want to improve the liveability and sustainability of your home, or simply expand? What style of architecture do you prefer? Once you have established your motivation, research architects that have completed similar house designs in your Tauranga locale and within a comparable budget to yours.

Undergoing renovations, house extensions or building a new home entirely can be stressful. For this reason, it’s important that you and your chosen architect get along and share the same values, especially if you require an architect to help you refine your brief. To establish this rapport, you may need to meet several times with the architects on your shortlist before making a final decision on who you hire. The relationship you have with your architect is very personal, and will involve discussions of your habits, hobbies and tastes, so you want to ensure you have picked someone you feel comfortable in sharing this information with.

Most importantly, you need to trust that your architect will manage your home improvement or house design within budget, while working with site constraints, and coordinating the relationships of all parties involved in the project.

Ideally, your Tauranga, Bay of Plenty architect will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Your architect may be needed to select and hire Bay of Plenty subcontractors (e.g. builders, engineers and landscape architects) just as they may need to negotiate contracts with stakeholders. A good client-architect relationship will ensure they are your biggest advocate along the way during construction.

Finally, remember that the most well-known or established architect may not provide the right architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project.
