Reimagine your home in a way that feels natural, modern and true to the way you live. At Drinkrow Homes, we specialise in large renovations and well-planned extensions that improve flow, comfort and long-term value — without losing the familiar character you love.
Every renovation or extension is handled with care, clarity and craftsmanship by our local family team.
From full home transformations to creating more space where it matters most, we work closely with you to ensure the result feels seamless and well considered.
Homes hold memories, routines and familiar rhythms. When we renovate or extend, we respect that deeply. Our role is to help you improve your home while keeping the essence that already feels right.
Whether you're opening up darker rooms, improving flow, adding more space for a growing family or modernising an older layout, we guide you through each option with honesty and clarity.
We work with trusted local designers and trades so your renovation or extension feels cohesive, functional and aligned with your lifestyle.
Throughout the project, communication stays open and steady. You’ll always know what’s happening, what’s coming next, and how we’re keeping disruption to a minimum — so life at home can continue as smoothly as possible.
We keep you fully informed with honest updates and practical guidance from the first meeting to the moment you settle back into your refreshed home.
We help you shape a renovation or extension that enhances how you live — improving flow, light, function and comfort.
Renovating is about blending new and existing elements beautifully. We take care with every detail so the final result feels seamless and long-lasting.
As Hawke’s Bay locals, we work with designers, subcontractors and suppliers we know well — people who share our values and respect your home.
The timeline depends on the scale of your project. Smaller structural changes may take a few months, while larger, full-home renovations or extensions can take longer. After discussing your ideas, we’ll provide a clear, realistic timeline and keep you updated as your project progresses.
Absolutely. We take great care to ensure new elements blend naturally with your existing home — in flow, layout, materials and overall feel. We work with local designers and tradespeople who understand Hawke’s Bay homes and can create a cohesive, considered finish.
You’ll be working directly with our family team, along with trusted subcontractors we know personally. We only bring people into your home who share our standards for quality, communication and respect.
Of course. Many families start with questions and ideas rather than a clear plan. We’re happy to visit your home, talk through what you’re hoping to improve, and help you understand the pros and cons of each option — with no pressure and no rush.
Your essential plan for building a custom home on a budget in Hawke's Bay, while avoiding the six-figure mistakes others have made.
