Home extensions, second storey additions and renovations
As we are independent and client focused, we listen to you, your requirements, your budget and give you impartial advice on whether you should knock-down rebuild your home or renovate. Surprises during construction are unwelcome for both clients and builders, and we wholeheartedly share that sentiment. When it comes to adding another level, extending, or renovating a home in the North Shore, the likelihood of encountering unexpected challenges is higher. Our expertise lies in early identification of these unforeseen issues, ultimately saving you both time and money.
For home alterations and additions, we conduct a thorough examination of your existing home and project documents to pinpoint practical building issues. This proactive approach is essential to uncover any critical issues that may be overlooked by architects and other builders that are unfamiliar with home building in the Upper and Lower North Shore. We take deliberate steps to address most uncertainties during the tender phase, clearly defining parameters for how they will be handled by the builder once construction begins. Our meticulous process promotes transparency, fairness, and a dedicated focus on the project, ensuring that everyone involved remains well-informed and aligned throughout the construction process.
