Stunning Home Renovation & Extension In Bentleigh VIC
The Vision
Michelle wanted to transform her home by adding a new kitchen, bathroom, and a Rumpus Room that would capture the sun from the north. Her commitment to sustainability led her to decide to stop using gas. So, we shifted her to an all-electric system and installed solar panels.
Michelle had full confidence in our skills as builders, trusting us to not only respect but also adapt to her lifestyle during the renovation process. The process required her to live without a kitchen and bathroom temporarily, but she adeptly managed her routine.
We took care of everything from the initial plans and permits right through to the building work. Our team of experts ensured a seamless process, handling every aspect of the project with meticulous attention to detail. The result was a stunning renovation that exceeded all expectations.

Our Approach: Turning Dreams Into Reality
We quickly obtained the building permit, a crucial first step. This allowed us to begin the extension without delay, ensuring a smooth start.
With good access to the back of the house, we commenced the extension work. Our team focused on precision and speed to reach the Lock-Up stage, where the exterior is completed, and the house becomes secure.
Once the exterior was set, we shifted our focus indoors. This phase involved work to revitalise the interior, ensuring every detail aligned with Michelle’s vision.
The highlight of our interior work was installing the new kitchen and bathroom. These spaces were completely transformed, blending functionality with modern aesthetics to match Michelle's taste.
Overcoming Obstacles To Stay On Track
Old Septic Tank
We encountered an old septic tank buried right where we planned to lay the new extension's footings. It was a potential roadblock, but our skilled engineer, Pov, stepped in with a solution.
His expertise and problem-solving skills were instrumental in swiftly resolving the issue. With his guidance, we secured the foundation approval from the Building Surveyor, enabling us to pour the concrete footings without significant delay.
Unsafe Electrical System
The second challenge was the house's old and unsafe electrical system. To ensure safety and modern functionality, we completely rewired the entire house.
This crucial update not only resolved existing safety issues but also upgraded the electrical infrastructure to align with the demands of a contemporary lifestyle, meeting Michelle's needs for a modern, secure home.
