Moore Design

Moore Design is a residential architectural design studio specialising in thoughtful, practical homes and renovations — including beautifully resolved kitchen and interior layouts.

We provide full architectural design services from initial concept through to building and resource consent, making the process clear, structured, and stress-free for our clients. Whether you’re planning a new build or upgrading an existing home, we help turn ideas into well-considered spaces that work for everyday life.

With hundreds of projects completed across the Wellington and Bay of Plenty regions, our team has extensive experience navigating council requirements, NZ Building Code compliance, and consent processes. We work closely with councils, consultants, and builders so you don’t have to.

Kitchens & Interior Design
Kitchens are a core part of our residential work. We design kitchens as part of new homes, renovations, and alterations, ensuring they are functional, well-proportioned, and tailored to how you live. Our in-house interior designer can coordinate layouts, joinery design, finishes, and specifications — balancing aesthetics, budget, and buildability.

How We Work
Every project starts with a conversation. We visit your site, carry out site measures, listen carefully, and help shape a design direction that suits your goals. Early in the process, we identify any required consultants (such as surveyors, geotechnical engineers, or structural engineers) and outline their roles and estimated costs in our fee proposal.

You’ll be assigned a dedicated designer who manages your project through each stage, keeping communication clear and consistent. Documentation is issued at each phase, and once consents are approved, we provide full drawing sets for construction and remain available to support you and your builder throughout the build.

Capability & Compliance

Extensive experience with NZ Building Code, MasterSpec, and council requirements
Strong relationships with trusted builders and suppliers
Suitable for new builds, renovations, and interior fit-outs
No project size limitations

Led by director Cam Moore, Moore Design combines creativity, technical expertise, and a relaxed, collaborative approach — delivering well-designed homes and kitchens that feel considered, functional, and timeless.

Intelligent Design

Intelligent Design is a highly-regarded architectural design practice based in Lower Hutt, led by principal designer Aaron Humphreys, who brings over 25 years of experience across projects of all scales, from full home designs to detailed interior alteration work, including kitchens and renovations. Aaron and his small, dedicated team pride themselves on creating practical yet inspired architectural solutions that respond to how families live and evolve in their spaces, whether that’s a new build, a remodel, or an extension.

A key strength of Intelligent Design lies in their ability to seamlessly integrate kitchen and alteration work into broader architectural drawings and consent documentation. Many kitchen renovations require formal plans or consent when they involve structural changes, such as moving plumbing, adding windows or doors, or removing walls. Intelligent Design works directly with clients to handle these requirements, managing Council interactions and paperwork to make the process as straightforward as possible. They also ensure that functional design is not an afterthought. Their architectural drawings incorporate workable, well-considered kitchen layouts, which can then be refined by specialists like JB Kitchens for detailed cabinetry, appliance placement, and finishes, offering clients a fluid design experience from concept through to build-ready documentation.

Clients consistently praise Intelligent Design for their clear communication, responsive service, and deep understanding of consent processes, with many noting how their teams guidance and thoughtful design insight adds value, reduces stress, and helps achieve excellent outcomes tailored to lifestyle needs and site conditions.

Agility Builders

Agility Builders is a Wellington-based residential building company offering renovations, extensions, alterations, maintenance, project management, painting/decorating, and kitchen/bathroom renovation work. Publicly, they appear well suited as a main building contractor for renovation and fit-out-related works, rather than as a specialist joinery, plumbing, or electrical trade.

Their project gallery shows relevant experience in full internal renovations, including new kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, and living spaces, which is relevant to JB Kitchens projects.

Licensing, Insurance & Compliance

Agility Builders states that they have Licensed Building Practitioners (LBPs) on the team and are licensed in carpentry, with the ability to carry out or supervise Restricted Building Work. They also present themselves as Registered Master Builders, with access to the Master Build 10-Year Guarantee.

No public details were found confirming their public liability insurance, so this should be requested directly before engagement.

Early Engagement & Planning

They indicate they can be involved from design through to completion, and can work alongside architects and designers where required. This suggests they are capable of contributing during early project planning.

Lead times and availability are not publicly listed and would need to be confirmed directly. Likely dependencies include design sign-off, consent requirements, and coordination with other trades such as plumbing, electrical, plastering, flooring, and joinery installation.

Site Requirements

No public site requirement checklist was found. For the type of work they complete, likely requirements would include:

Safe site access
Power and lighting
Storage/staging space
Protection of surrounding surfaces and finished areas

Any temporary works, sequencing risks, or access constraints should be confirmed on a project-by-project basis.

Communication & Coordination

The publicly listed contact is Dave Twigg, with general contact available via phone, email, and website enquiry form. Their website places strong emphasis on communication, dialogue, and cooperative project delivery, which is a positive indicator for coordination.

Client-Facing Standards

Their brand presentation suggests a professional, client-facing approach, with an emphasis on quality, communication, and reducing client stress during renovations. While this is positive, expectations around site presentation, protection of the client’s home, and direct client communication should still be clearly confirmed during onboarding.

Documentation & Handover

The main publicly confirmed handover-related item is access to the Master Build 10-Year Guarantee. No public information was found on:

Public liability insurance documents
Practical completion / handover process
Maintenance notes
Records of work or compliance documentation

These items should be requested directly where relevant.

Harbour City Plumbing

Harbour City Plumbing & Gasfitting is a Wellington-based trade business servicing Wellington, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, and Porirua. Publicly, they offer plumbing, gasfitting, and drainlaying services for both residential and commercial customers, including maintenance, upgrades, emergency callouts, and general plumbing works. They also position themselves as capable of handling bathroom and kitchen-related plumbing scopes, hot water work, and drainage.

Licensing, Insurance & Compliance

Harbour City Plumbing publicly states that they are licensed Master Plumbers and also refer to themselves as certified Master Plumbers. Their website also references coverage under a 12-Month Workmanship Guarantee and the Master Plumbers Guarantee.

I did not find publicly available details confirming:

individual practitioner licence numbers
public liability insurance policy details
formal compliance statements against specific NZ standards

These items should be requested directly before approval.

Early Engagement & Planning

Their service positioning suggests they can assist with both planned upgrades and urgent/reactive works, which indicates they are capable of engaging during early planning where plumbing scope needs to be defined. They also advertise same-day appointments and 24/7 emergency callouts, which may be useful for urgent project support.

No public information was found confirming:

standard lead times for scheduled works
forward availability for renovation projects
how far in advance they prefer to be engaged

Likely dependencies for kitchen work would include cabinetry layout confirmation, appliance specifications, electrical coordination, benchtop timing, and access to completed joinery areas. That dependency list is an inference based on kitchen plumbing work, not a published Harbour City statement.

Site Requirements

No public install-preparation checklist was found. For kitchen and renovation plumbing scopes, likely requirements would include:

site access
water isolation where needed
power/access for tools
clear access to cabinetry, sink, waste, and appliance connection points
readiness of other trades where plumbing is dependent on sequencing

No public notes were found on temporary works, but any restrictions around access, shut-offs, or sequencing should be confirmed project by project.

Communication & Coordination

The main public contact appears to be:

Brad via brad@harbourcityplumbing.co.nz
Freephone 0800 100 311
Mobile 022 466 4444.

Their public messaging places emphasis on clear communication, prompt response, and reliable service, which is a positive sign for coordination.

Client-Facing Standards

Harbour City Plumbing presents itself as a professional, customer-focused business with an emphasis on being reliable, honest, prompt, and practical. Customer-facing language on the site suggests they work regularly in occupied homes and live environments.

That said, I did not find a formal published standard covering:

on-site presentation
protection of client property
direct client communication expectations

These should still be confirmed as part of onboarding.

Documentation & Handover

Publicly confirmed handover-related items include:

12-Month Workmanship Guarantee
Master Plumbers Guarantee.

I did not find public confirmation of:

producer statements or compliance certificates process
maintenance/care notes
formal practical completion or handover process
public liability documentation

These should be requested directly where relevant to the project scope.

Summary

Harbour City Plumbing appears to be a good fit as a plumbing/gasfitting/drainlaying trade partner for JB Kitchens projects, particularly where kitchen installations or renovation works require reliable plumbing coordination. Their strongest public indicators are broad service capability, Master Plumber positioning, long experience, and strong communication-focused service messaging.
