With our ongoing working relationship with Rosalie Stanley and the team from Salmond Reed Architects we carried out extensive alterations to this beautiful and well-appointed historical home. Without losing her yester year charm, we were able to bring the house up to a modern functional family home.
This project was special as we had available some original photos of the house, and we were able to undo questionable alteration work that had been carried out over the years.
We were fortunate to work with clients that saw the value in restoring their home to original where practical, while modernising rooms such as the kitchen and bathroom, to have all the details a well-appointed home should have.
Special features are the main stairwell which we re-crafted; a great functional modern kitchen and laundry; smart detailing; and generally a great finish we can be proud of.
"This company did major renovations on our large, two story heritage home from Oct 2013 to July 2014. They were always efficient and friendly, with excellent communication between us and all their staff. All staff were courteous and easy to ‘live with’. The boss and chief builder worked well with our architects and us to fulfill our vision for the house. Weekly meetings for this purpose were very useful.
They started on time for the project overall and were there everyday until it was finished. They started and finished on time everyday, with no mucking around or downtime. Much of this was due to excellent project managing, with planning ahead for such things as: subcontractors, dump bins, hardware and outsourcing of materials. Necessary alterations to plans were well explained and we were given options and relative costs; and whatever our decision was, was implemented.
The head builder that worked on our project was excellent and very experienced. He had amazing skill and competence and displayed wonderful craftsmanship, particularly with tricky or unique heritage features. He also foresaw possible issues and I’m sure prevented many possible mistakes and misinterpretations. I would highly recommend this company."
