What We Do 

Home Extensions: A home extension is a great way to add space and value to your home without having to go through the stress and expense of moving house. It involves expanding your home by building additional rooms or extending existing ones. Home extensions can range from the edition of a single room to a more complex project, such as adding a second storey. With the help of our professional builders, we can create a custom design that meets your needs and reflects your personal style, all while enhancing the functionality and value of your home.

Second Storey Additions: A second storey addition is a popular way to add extra living space to your home. It involves adding a new level on top of your existing home, creating additional bedrooms, bathrooms, or living areas. If you love where you live, a second storey addition is a great solution for your family that has outgrown their current lowset home. It can also be a cost-effective alternative to moving to a larger home in a more expensive area. With our help, you can design a custom second storey addition that complements your existing home and meets your specific requirements and budget.

Home Makeover Projects: Our expert team specialise in complete home makeovers that transform your home into a beautiful and functional living space.

Ideas & Design

Projects usually start with an informal meeting to discuss a wide range of ideas, your project goals and intended budget.  Whether you engage an independent Architect/Designer or work with us in-house; we assist with all facets of this stage – balancing cost efficiencies with creative flare.

Plans, Drawings and Permits

As a part of the consulting process, we liaise with you and the Architect/Designer (engaged by you or in-house) to ensure a cost efficient and practical approach to resolving any site issues or special requirements.  We deal with all the Industry standards along with Council requirements and specifications. 

Quotation, Budgeting & Cost Analysis

Once concept plans are produced, our in-house costing team source the best quotes and products to calculate a very comprehensive cost assessment for your project.  This approach to pricing each job ensures you get an honest and realistic estimate of the cost of your project.

We have a hand-picked team of dedicated Suppliers and Contractors who we work with to ensure the best prices, services and delivery of goods for each project.  We bring all these together in a Cost Assessment designed to offer you confidence and information.

Construction & Project Management

Liaison between the Designers and on-site sub-trades is all part of our service.  Regular updates and information flow between all parties keeping you up to date with progress.  Planning and managing is simple and easy with the management systems we have in place.
