Full Home Renovation FAQ's
Yes, we provide a full service where we can either renovate under your exisiting roofline, create an extension or manage the lifting of your home before building in underneath.
Each project is managed on a case by case basis as it depends specifically on what is involved. Until demolition begins, it can sometimes not be clear what will be uncovered. Issues such as severe water damage, mould or asbestos in the walls may require additional labour and materials or even a re-design.
Rest assured that we appreciate all parties would like the project completed in a reasonable and agreed period of time. As there are processes necessary for renovations to be compliant with building codes, we need to work within those parameters.
The scope and nature of the renovation will determine whether you can stay in your home or move out. All renovations have an inconvenience factor and depending on the extent of work to be done, it's important to consider what alternatives you can put in place, especially if you won't have access to a kitchen, bathroom or laundry. Safety is a factor to consider also, especially with children. Our team are transparent about your specific circumstances and how the renovation may affect your day to day living in the home.
