Initial Consultation and Project Planning
We start by discussing your vision, budget, and timeline during a free consultation. Our team visits your property to assess structural conditions, site access, and local council requirements.
Key steps include:
- Reviewing existing floor plans and property boundaries
- Identifying potential challenges like sloping blocks or heritage overlays
- Outlining design possibilities for kitchens, bathrooms, or added living areas
- Providing rough cost estimates for different renovation approaches
We explain council planning permits and building regulations upfront, using local knowledge to streamline approvals.
Design Development and Permit Acquisition
Architects create concept drawings that blend new extensions with your home’s existing style. We use 3D models to show spatial relationships and material choices.
For heritage properties, designs preserve original features while adding modern amenities. Energy-efficient layouts consider window placement and insulation for Melbourne’s climate.
We handle all permit applications, including planning and building approvals. Our team addresses council feedback quickly to avoid delays.
Construction Process Management
Site Preparation
Clear vegetation, install safety fencing, and protect existing structures. Temporary supports stabilise areas during structural modifications.
Structural Work
Build new foundations and load-bearing walls. Integrate steel beams or timber frames as needed. Inspect connections before closing walls.
Services Installation
Coordinate licensed electricians and plumbers to update wiring and piping. Ensure compliance with Australian Standards for wet areas and gas fittings.
Interior Finishes
Install cabinetry, flooring, and fixtures. Match new materials to existing finishes for seamless transitions between old and new spaces.
Compliance and Quality Assurance
We conduct seven-stage inspections to meet building codes:
- Foundation depth and reinforcement checks
- Framing alignment and bracing verification
- Waterproofing tests in bathrooms and balconies
- Energy efficiency ratings for windows and insulation
- Final safety checks for smoke alarms and railings
Material certificates confirm product warranties. Defects get rectified before practical completion.
Handover and Post-Completion Support
We provide a comprehensive handover package including:
- Final council certifications and occupancy permits
- Manufacturer warranties for appliances and materials
- Maintenance guidelines for flooring and external cladding
Our team remains available for post-completion adjustments. Structural warranties cover workmanship for 10 years.
