Victorian Terrace Home Builder Extension – Old to New Property Transformations

House Renovations and Extensions Process

Every renovation and extension differs in size and complexity. However, the process we follow to consistently provide unparalleled service and outstanding results stays the same. We highly value planning and making informed choices to ensure projects run on time and to budget with minimal risks(*1).

This is a basic overview of our process, so you know what to expect when partnering with us:

1 > We review any plans and design ideas you have.
2 > We have a site meeting at your house to review the area/s to be renovated and/or extended.
3 > Our tailor-made project plan and comprehensive budget is created – and is  obligation free(*2). We detail any anticipated challenges that may arise and outline the key stakeholders for the project. See pre-construction agreements for more information(*3).
4 > Meeting with you to review the plan and budget.
5 > All pre-build approvals, surveys, and inspections are organised by us.
6 > Renovations and/or extensions are completed.
7 > Post-build inspections and reports are finalised – including a Managed Build report.
8 > Your feedback on the build, our service, and the work carried out is always welcomed. We aim for five-stars on every project.

You can have as little or as much involvement in the project as you would like. We can take care of everything from soil testing to the final touches if you want to get on with work and life.

Extension and Renovation Builders You Can Count On

Together, we show you, our clients respect by:

• Doing the work we promised.

A Word of Warning on Extensions

Extensions are ideal for growing families or increasing the floor space before selling. There are many things to consider and plan for before extending. When choosing your builder, ask them if any parts of the extension may disrupt or cause damage to a neighboring property. This is most relevant to ground level extensions because there will be a certain amount of digging to lay the foundation. Some builders do not consider the impact their work could have on neighboring properties.

For example, if builders on your site dig further down than the neighboring house, the land will have to be shored up to prevent your neighbour’s house from cracking and possibly even undermining their foundation completely. Not only can you face massive delays, but your neighbours could look to hold you liable for the damage to their property(*4).

What Else do You Build?

In addition to renovations and extensions, we also build:

• Heritage homes.
• Single storey homes.
• Multi-storey and split-level homes.
• Knockdowns & rebuilds.
• Duplexes.
• Manor houses and mansions.
• Studios.

Work with builders who get the job done right the first time and avoid unnecessary delays and costly repairs.
