Frequently asked

(06) — FAQ

Yes — ground-floor and second-storey extensions are a specialty, fully managed from design through to handover across Brunswick, Fitzroy, Northcote and surrounds.

We're VBA registered (DB-U 48213), fully insured, and provide domestic building insurance on every contract above the threshold.

After a site visit and agreed scope, we issue a detailed fixed-price quote and schedule — no vague allowances or surprise variations down the track.

It depends on scope, but we give you a realistic schedule up front and a single project manager keeps it on track with regular updates.

Let's build something lasting.
