Extensions + Alterations

Villy and Alana work with you and your designer to ensure you get the exact custom timber home you want. They listen to your ideas, make design and product recommendations, and help you ask the questions you don’t even know to ask.

Large builders can have hundreds of homes on the go at once, making you feel like a number in a corporate machine, and in the dark as to what’s happening with your home. We only build 2-3 homes a year. From the first phone call to the handover (and beyond), you deal directly with the owners. You’ll see us onsite, involved and always know what’s happening.

Too many builders quote a low price to win a job but are vague on the actual inclusions. This means you don’t know what you are actually getting for the price quoted. We take the time to design carefully, quote accurately and specify in full so there are no nasty surprises.

Sadly, too many builders have no qualifications or experience ‘on the tools’. And those that do, are often limited to one or two specialised tasks (so your house is constructed en masse like an assembly line). Villy was trained the old-school way to build a house from start to finish. With more than 25 years on the tools, he understands every aspect and oversees your build from design to delivery.

Too many builders rely on their painters to patch gaps and cover mistakes. It’s called band-aid building. But these things will come to the surface over time (often in cracks and gaps). We prefer to do things right the first time (if you don’t leave gaps, there’s no need to fill them).

Most builders hire individual tradies for different tasks. When one tradie cuts corners, it creates problems for everyone who follows. The all too common “she’ll be right”, “close enough” and “that’s not my problem” attitude compounds into delays and budget overruns, and a result that is a patchwork of problems. We are directly involved in, and take full responsibility for every stage of your build.

Extensions and alterations can feel overwhelming. Sometimes you have to live in another part of the house while the work is being done. Sometimes you have to rent somewhere else. We understand these challenges and do everything we can to minimise the disruption to your life and finish your alteration on time. For extra reassurance, you will always know what’s going on and be able to track progress through our online project management system.

Building a timber extension or alteration is a big commitment. And unless you’ve done it dozens of times, it can be daunting. That’s why we invite you for a Free Creative Call where we will share our advice and guidance, specific to your situation.
