Renovating New Zealand one home at a time

Established in 2019 and based in the Bay of Plenty, A1 Renovations is a growing, Kiwi-owned, family-operated business that focuses on residential renovation and commercial projects. The company was created to fill a growing gap in the market. Founders Ross Thomas and his son Mitch saw the movement of more New Zealanders choosing to renovate their homes instead of selling and relocating. The A1 Renovations business was established to meet this growing demand.

With over 25 years of experience in the group home builder category, Ross Thomas still heads the well-known A1homes brand. This history has created a strong base nationwide network across all parts of the building industry. This means that A1 Renovations and its franchisees gain quick, preferred access to a reliable network of national supply chains and local suppliers. These well-established relationships ensure a greater consistency, more cost savings, and the availability of quality materials for all projects.

The opportunity

A1 Renovations is offering a turn-key business opportunity, aiming to support potential franchisees thoroughly from day one. The main goal has been to quickly set up local support networks and establish a strong local brand presence in their chosen region.

A1 Renovations offers immediate hands-on assistance to its new partners, including business setup, branded uniforms, and sign-written vehicles for a professional local presence. Franchisees also benefit from direct access to the A1 Renovations national supply chain network, removing a significant challenge that many new constructions businesses face.

Support and training

Providing comprehensive operational and client-facing support, franchisees can also access A1 Renovations' in-house architectural design team, which the group has found crucial for converting client ideas into detailed plans. Additionally, the company provides a branding and marketing package to ensure all online and print materials are professional, consistent, and aligned with the A1 Renovations brand.

The Head Office team at A1 Renovations are there to provide support with ongoing operational guidance and services including free and accurate quoting, estimating, and quantity surveying and to generally help with administration to ensure a strong return on investment.

Who we’re looking for
