What Happens If You Don’t Act?

The Risks of Waiting to Transform Your Home!

Choosing to delay your home renovation or addition can lead to ongoing frustrations and missed opportunities. Living in a space that doesn’t work for your family creates daily stress and discomfort, and as time goes on, the costs of construction and materials may rise.

Increased Stress:

A cramped or outdated home will continue to limit your lifestyle and create tension.

Missed Value:

Delaying renovations could mean losing out on increased property value and functionality.

Rising Costs:

Building materials and labour costs are always on the rise—acting now could save you money in the long run.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONs

Finding Solutions For Your Home

  • How long will the renovation process take?

    The duration of the renovation project can vary depending on the complexity and scale of the work. Typically, a second-story addition might take between 3-6 months from design to completion. We establish a clear timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout the project to ensure there are no surprises.

  • How do you handle the unique challenges of Canberra’s climate in your designs?

    We design with Canberra’s variable climate in mind, ensuring your home is comfortable in both the cold winters and hot summers. Our designs incorporate strategic insulation, thermal mass materials, and double-glazed windows to enhance thermal efficiency and reduce energy costs.

  • What about heritage considerations for Canberra’s older suburbs?

    Canberra is rich in history, and many suburbs have heritage conservation requirements. We have a wealth of experience navigating these regulations and work closely with local councils to ensure all renovations respect the historical integrity of your home while bringing modern conveniences and standards.

  • Will I need to vacate my home during renovations?

    Whether you need to vacate will depend on the scale of the renovation. For extensive projects, especially those involving structural changes like second-story additions, it may be safer and more practical to live elsewhere during the most intensive phases of construction. However, for smaller projects, we make every effort to minimise disruption so you can remain in your home.

  • How do you ensure the safety of my property during renovations?

    Safety is paramount in all our projects. We adhere strictly to all health and safety regulations, and our site managers are diligent in maintaining secure, clean, and well-organised work sites. We also ensure that all materials and equipment are stored securely and that your property is protected from any construction-related damage.

  • What is your policy on change orders or unexpected issues during the project?

    Transparency and communication are key aspects of our service. Should any unforeseen issues arise or changes to the initial plan be necessary, we discuss these promptly with you to decide the best course of action. Any changes in costs or timelines are fully documented and require your approval before proceeding.

  • Do you provide a warranty on your work?

    Yes, we stand behind the quality of our work with a comprehensive warranty that covers both materials and labour. Specific details of the warranty will be outlined in your contract, ensuring you have full peace of mind about the durability and quality of the renovations.
