Renovation work done once

Renovations are harder than new builds. You are working into existing structure that is rarely square, often not what the plans say, and surrounded by a house people still live in.

We handle the carpentry on extensions, second storeys, internal reconfigurations and full renovation packages, working to your architect's or designer's drawings, and telling you early when something on site does not match what is on paper.

How It Runs

From first call to handover

No surprises, no vague scopes. You will know what is included, what it costs and when we are on site.

Site visit

We walk the property with your drawings, check what is actually there, and talk through how the work can be staged.

Scope & quote

A written scope so you can see exactly what is included, and an honest note on anything that is unknown until we open it up.

Program

Agreed start date, realistic duration, and a plan for keeping the house liveable where that is possible.

Build

Our crew on site, coordinating with the trades around us and keeping you updated as things progress.

Finish & handover

Detailed finishing, a walk-through together, and anything on the list sorted before we leave.
