Need more space?

At Loft, we specialise in creating more Space for Living for families, throughout Auckland, for many different reasons.

We receive enquiries for minor dwellings, granny-flats, rental investments, small homes, loft garages, sleep-outs, home offices, accessory buildings, space conversions and more.

What’s important to understand is the term doesn't matter because what’s allowed depends entirely on the zone of your property.

Once we understand your goals, we help by clarifying what may be possible to build.

What you can build depends on your zone

The Auckland Unitary plan is divided into six main planning zones. Each zone has a full set of planning rules and controls that dictate what is allowed.

Further complicating your eligibility to build are the Government imposed nationwide planning rules. The Medium Density Residential Standards (MDRS) were introduced in 2022 and must also be considered for every project.

To help clarify what may be possible for your property, we offer Free Site Assessments. These are obligation free and come with an early indication of the likely budget needed.
