Working With Existing Structures
Renovations in often involve more than just cosmetic updates. Many older homes need layout changes, wall removals, or structural reinforcements to bring them in line with how people live today. We start by assessing the existing structure and identifying what can stay, what needs adjusting and where the challenges might lie. For example, opening up two rooms to create a larger living area may require beam installation, while working around existing plumbing can influence bathroom or kitchen layouts.
We approach each renovation with a plan tailored to the home, not a one-size-fits-all template. This helps reduce hidden costs, avoid delays, and produce better outcomes. You’ll be kept informed throughout the process, with time to review key decisions before the next stage begins. Homes in Tuncurry vary widely in style and age, and our ability to adapt and problem-solve on-site is a key part of how we deliver lasting results.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s involved in removing internal walls during a renovation?
Removing internal walls can open up a space significantly, but it often involves structural considerations. Load-bearing walls support parts of the home above and can't be removed without installing a replacement support beam—typically engineered steel or timber. A structural engineer may be required to assess and certify the changes. Electrical, plumbing and insulation inside the wall also need to be relocated or safely terminated, all of which adds to the planning and cost.
How do I decide which areas of my home to renovate first?
It helps to focus on areas you use most often or those causing the most frustration—like cramped kitchens, poorly laid-out bathrooms or dark living spaces. If you're planning a larger renovation in stages, start with any areas that involve structural work or services like plumbing and wiring, as these can affect adjacent spaces later. Prioritising by impact and efficiency often leads to the most noticeable improvements early on.
What issues are common in older homes during renovations?
Renovating older homes can uncover unexpected issues such as outdated wiring, deteriorated plumbing, uneven floors or asbestos. These aren’t always visible during initial inspections and may only become apparent once demolition begins. Having contingency room in your budget can help manage these surprises. Working with a builder experienced in renovations is key—they’ll know what signs to look for early and how to plan for necessary adjustments.
