Planning – What Needs Renovating?

We feel there’s nothing more exciting than transforming a tired, old, dysfunctional property into a beautiful home – suitable for today’s style of living.

The first step is to determine what you really need –

how many bedrooms and bathrooms
which rooms need to be bigger or combined
do any rooms need dividing
where you want storage
your outdoor living area needs
garages, sheds
services requirements (electrical, plumbing, drainage)
heating/cooling
outdoor and indoor finishes
fences, security, access, landscaping

In many cases we have been able to reconfigure existing spaces into a more functional layout, without having to resort to adding an extension. It all depends on your goals, structural limitations and budget.

What is most important is that the services, materials and finishes comply with current codes. We make sure that all renovated work is done to standards that exceed code.

You can have the plans drawn up yourself with your architect/ draftsmanor we can have them done for you by our preferred drafting service.

Styling – Restored, Improved or Modern?

What style of home do you want to end up with?

Do you want to restore the original features so each room and the façade reflect the period when the home was built?
Would you like to improve a fairly featureless style and give it charm and character?
Or would you prefer to modernise it so that the features and layout reflect today’s contemporary open plan layouts and minimalist finishes?

Whatever style you want to achieve – our team of renovation craftsmen will plan and deliver your renovation to meet your specifications.
