Evolve Design + Build is a Wellington design and build firm for homes, specialising in renovations and extensions, and in energy-efficient new builds. The website says it takes each project from concept design through to finished plans, consents, pricing, programming and construction. Its director, Antony, is a chartered civil engineer, and Hamish is a builder with the firm. The website says the firm works with Wellington's steep sites, high winds and tight spaces, and that it prices work on a Cost Plus Contract, where the client pays for the work and materials used and a contingency sum is included.
Reviewers say the firm transformed a downstairs renovation of a 1910s villa, which they describe as a complex job, and praise the quality of the work and the way the old character was kept. One reviewer says the team arrived with a big problem and left thrilled with the transformation. Another says the firm changed a bach in Raumati South into something special, and the reviewers describe the team as respectful throughout.
