Home Renovations

Transform your current space into something that feels new, without losing what made you buy the house.

Our renovation work is whole-of-house and major structural: reworking floor plans, removing load-bearing walls, replacing services, and finishing every room to one standard rather than patching one at a time.

We work closely with you to retain the character of the existing property while bringing the layout and the services up to how you live now. Kitchens, bathrooms and joinery are part of that scope — we don’t take on single-room or single-item replacements.

Why renovate

  • Adapting to lifestyle changes. Kitchens and bathrooms designed decades ago rarely suit how a family uses them now.
  • Increasing property value. A considered renovation is among the most reliable improvements you can make to a Melbourne home.
  • Enhancing energy efficiency. Insulation, glazing, lighting and heating upgraded as part of the works rather than as an afterthought.
  • Fixing what’s hidden. Opening up a room is the moment to deal with waterproofing, wiring and framing properly.

Wherever you are in the planning process

Whether you're just starting to explore ideas or already have drawings prepared, we can pick up the project from that point. We can assist throughout the preliminary planning process as well as the construction — architectural design and drawings, soil testing, engineering, energy assessments and the coordination of required building approvals. If you already have completed plans, we can price and build from those.

What’s involved

  • Kitchens. Layout, cabinetry, stone and appliance integration, coordinated with the trades that follow.
  • Bathrooms. Stripped to frame, re-waterproofed and rebuilt, with custom vanities made to suit the room.
  • Whole-house remodels. Reworking the plan of an older home so the rooms you use most get the light and the space.
  • Custom joinery. Built-in storage, wardrobes and cabinetry made in the detail and finish the rest of the house calls for.

How the project runs

Every project starts from a different point. Some clients come to us with an idea and nothing drawn; others already have plans, engineering or a permit in hand. We start wherever you are and adjust the steps below to suit.

01
Scope and plans reviewTell us what you're planning and share whatever you already have, whether that's a rough idea, a sketch or completed plans. We use it to understand the proposed scope.
02
Site inspectionWhere it's useful, we visit the site to assess the existing structure, access and site conditions, and give an honest read on cost.
03
Design, documentation and approvals (as required)We fill in whatever is still outstanding: architectural drawings, soil testing, engineering, energy assessment or building approvals. If your plans are complete, we move straight to pricing.
04
BuildFixed-price contract, one point of contact, regular updates on progress.
05
HandoverSite cleanup, systems walk-through and final inspection before you move back in.
