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.

Janene
Custom New Home Build
We highly recommend John and his team from Home Building Advisor. We have recently worked with John to design a bespoke renovation and extension which had to take into consideration our family needs, site challenges and budget. We were very happy with the whole approach undertaken by John as he had an unbiased approach to solving problems whilst being conscious and balanced about our desired outcome. This was proven throughout the discovery and design process. John was generous with his time and with instilling his knowledge from previous projects he had undertaken. Based on the timeliness and responsiveness of the varying professionals called upon to undertake aspects of work required during the design process (architects, storm water engineers, etc) it was very clear that John has access to a great network of other building professionals.
Antonia
Major alteration, extension and second level
John and the team at Home Building Advisor are an incredibly diligent, hardworking, knowledgeable, professional team. John had assisted me in completing and navigating on my first development project (duplex, Eastern Suburbs). I can not be more grateful that I was able to work with John. He has guided me throughout the entire process, gone above and beyond, and has spent weeks of unpaid hours on behalf of myself and my family working on our development project. If you are a first-time developer reach out to John and the team.
