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
Speed Without Compromise:
With a hard 3-week deadline, we applied our fast-track project management system:
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.
