The Story: An agile project for Carsten in Holte

When Carsten reached out to us, he had just acquired a charming but dated 74 m² apartment in Holte. The apartment needed a quick refresh and most importantly, it needed to be ready to move into within three weeks.

The Bathroom Challenge: More Function, Same Footprint

The centerpiece of this project was the bathroom. Carsten wanted to transform a cramped, inefficient space into a modern and highly functional area without expanding the room. We took the time to understand his lifestyle needs, preferences, and budget.

Our approach

  • Completely redesigned the bathroom layout using 3D visualization tools so Carsten could clearly see the new design before work started.
  • Created more room in the shower zone and upgraded to a sleek, modern sink.
  • Carefully planned space for a washing machine without compromising flow.
  • Chose budget-smart materials that looked premium while staying within budget.
  • Speed Without Compromise:

    With a hard 3-week deadline, we applied our fast-track project management system:

  • Coordinated with our trusted contractors.
  • Prioritized high-impact tasks and efficient scheduling.
  • Personally oversaw the work to ensure quality and speed.
  • Result:

    We delivered the complete renovation — bathroom, painting, balcony, electrical updates, and interior styling — in just 21 days.

    "It was impressive to see how organized and focused Tetromize was. I couldn’t believe they pulled it off exactly on time — with great design and no stress!" Carsten



    From renovation chaos to a peaceful home

    • Client: Charlotte from Nærum
    • Location: Nærum, Rudersdals
    • Category: Full renovation — kitchen, two bathrooms, balcony, electrical system, painting
    • Size: 116 m2 Apartment
    • Challenge: Unmanaged renovation, dropped contractor, surprise costs
    • Timeline: Midway rescue to project completion (Spring 2021)

    The Story: A Fresh Start for Charlotte in Nærum

    When Charlotte and her son decided to renovate their 116 m² apartment in Nærum, they were full of energy and hope. They imagined a two-month process with a clear budget — a refreshed kitchen, modern bathrooms, and a brighter home overall.

    But like many homeowners, they started without professional guidance. Unfortunately, their first contractor dropped the project halfway through, leaving behind an unfinished home, growing costs, and a mountain of stress. Hidden issues began to surface — including a full electrical system that needed to be replaced — and the original timeline and budget quickly spiraled out of control.

    That’s when Tetromize Engineering stepped in.

    Our approach

    Initial Damage Control:

    We started with a full review of the apartment’s condition — what was done, what went wrong, and what needed to be redone.

    Transparent Planning:

    We mapped out a realistic completion plan that balanced quality, budget, and timeline — bringing calm and control back into the process.

    Contractor Matchmaking:

    Using our network of vetted, trusted contractors, we helped Charlotte hire new professionals who delivered on their promises.

    Cost Optimization:

    We restructured the work to avoid further unnecessary expenses and helped them make smart decisions to stretch their budget.

    Ongoing Support:

    From material selection to schedule coordination, we stood by Charlotte and her son until the very last brushstroke.

    The result

    Today, Charlotte enjoys a modern, energy-efficient home that reflects her lifestyle — with beautiful bathrooms, a practical new kitchen, and safe, upgraded electrical systems. More importantly, she and her son are living stress-free in the home they envisioned from the beginning.

    Final Note:

    This project reminds us why early professional consulting is so valuable. But it also proves that with the right help — even halfway through — you can still turn a renovation crisis into a successful, beautiful living space.
