Tamaki, encompassing Glen Innes, Panmure, and Point England, is one of Auckland’s most dynamic areas. A major regeneration programme is transforming the neighbourhood, bringing thousands of new homes and improved infrastructure to the area. For existing homeowners, this means your property sits in a suburb with genuine momentum and growing value.
At Intelli Design Homes, we help Tamaki homeowners renovate, extend, and build new. Whether you’re modernising an older home to match the neighbourhood’s renewal or building from scratch on a new site, we deliver quality results with cost certainty.

Why Building in Tamaki Has Unique Considerations
Urban regeneration zone — The Tamaki Regeneration Programme is one of New Zealand’s largest urban renewal projects. Building standards, streetscape expectations, and density provisions are all evolving. We stay across these changes so your project aligns with current and future requirements.
Mixed housing zones — Much of Tamaki is zoned Mixed Housing Suburban or Mixed Housing Urban under the Auckland Unitary Plan, enabling higher-density development. We can help you maximise your site’s development potential within the rules.
Older housing stock — Many existing homes date from the 1930s through to the 1960s and need substantial work to meet modern living standards. We specialise in bringing these properties back to life.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I build a second dwelling on my Tamaki property?
In most cases, yes. The Mixed Housing zones allow for increased density, and many Tamaki sections can accommodate a minor dwelling or additional unit. We assess your site and guide you through the consent process.
Is the regeneration programme affecting building consents?
The programme primarily involves Kainga Ora and Tamaki Regeneration Company land. For private properties, standard Auckland Council consenting applies, though the area’s evolving character may influence design considerations.
How do you renovate older state houses?
We start with a thorough assessment of the existing structure, including foundations, framing, roofing, and services. From there, we develop a scope that addresses everything from insulation and weathertightness to layout and finishes.
What does a renovation cost in Tamaki?
Costs vary based on scope and the condition of your existing home. We provide a fixed-price quote after our initial assessment so there are no surprises.
Do you handle all council consents?
Yes. We manage the full consent process with Auckland Council, including any engineering or geotech reports required for your project.
