We handle every trade under one contract. No chasing a framer, then a plasterer, then an electrician independently. From permits and footings to the final coat of paint, one crew sees the whole job through.
Maribyrnong Council planning and building permits managed for you before a spade hits the ground.
The bones are built right, inspected, and passed before we close the walls. No shortcuts on structure.
Fully flashed, sealed, and watertight before internal work begins. No water gets in later.
Meets NCC requirements and matched to existing house materials wherever possible so the extension reads as part of the original home.
Flooring, plastering, painting, doors and trim matched to the rest of your house. Nobody should be able to tell where the old home ends and the new begins.
The number we agree on before we start is the number you pay. No surprises, no additions.
