Home Restoration Services in Ballarat, Victoria

“After discussions with several architects, we felt most comfortable in engaging Ammon and the team at Here Studio to design our complex home extension project. Ammon’s approach to participatory design and sustainability appealed to us. The Here Studio team collaborated with us and have distilled our collective ideas into a final design centered around the theme of the “Tree Clad House”. The design delivers on all the flexibility that we are looking for and yet is full of character, visually engaging and harmonizes with our current home and surrounds. We highly recommend Ammon and his excellent team.”

“We selected Urban Property Developers for our renovation project because they were local to our area and had established an excellent reputation in their quality homes. Our experience with Urban Property developers was fantastic, from the very beginning with the initial consultation through to final completion, we were guided every step of the way. We worked closely with both Branko and Robert who helped us to achieve our goals. They have an expert team of tradesman ranging from carpenters, plasterers, tilers, stonemasons, cabinet makers, plumbers and electricians and many others who ensured the project was delivered on time and within budget and to our specifications. I’m extremely pleased with the final results of our renovation and the quality of workmanship and attention to detail exceeded all my expectations. I would highly recommend using Urban Property Developers on your next building project. Thanks once again for all your hard work! Roland”

“We engaged Green Point Design to renovate our existing home and help increase the number of bedrooms and space in our home without increasing our house footprint too much..We also were interested in passive solar and sustainable design. We loved the design Eric came up with, which ended up transforming our house into a great family home for 3 growing boys without altering the house footprint too much, and capturing the northern sunlight and rainwater on our small east/west facing block, Eric's service was friendly but professional.and we really enjoyed the whole process.”

“We had the good fortune to meet Matthew Turner last year during a Ballarat Sustainable Open House tour - after striking up a conversation with him at that event, it became clearly evident that his vision and philosophy for a house build were exactly in line with our sensibilities. Matt's considered approach, his ability to undertake thorough research (as we have a heritage overlay on our block in Ballarat Central), and his easy communication style, have meant that the 10 months since we began our project with Enduring Domain, we've had a remarkably positive experience. Matt has a real talent for being tactical in his design elements - in our case, he carefully took into account the sloping block, and devised a split-level home to suit our needs, whilst being strategic to ensure the project kept within budget by engaging a professional cost estimator in the early stages of the design process. Around that same time, Matt also arranged a meeting with Ballarat Council's Heritage Department so as to guarantee that the drafted blueprint for a new modern build were appropriate to the area. This made certain that we did not waste any time with submitting a planning permit to council that was not a suitable fit. Matt's comprehensive attention to detail reading policy documentation and possessing a solid grasp of eco-efficient building materials and the like, made certain we travelled along on a cohesive pathway from the very beginning, with nothing left to chance. As we now embark on the building stage, we are eagerly looking forward to living in our new home.”

“Fantastic Builders- excellent communicators which made the whole building process an enjoyable experience. Steve and his team are very competent and make it happen seamlessly - the contractors they used were also of a very high standard and well managed by Wade Builders. Our home was shortlisted in 2017 Houses Awards and a finalist in the 2018 Timber Awards which is testament to the Builder and the Architect. Highly Recommended.”

“We hired SJ Bishop Architect to plan our renovation. We had a limited budget to update our mid-80s brick and weatherboard home. Steven came up with fantastic, creative ideas so that we were able to achieve our goals without going over budget. His experience meant that we didn't have to spend ages comparing fittings and fixtures - we were able to go with his recommendations which were exactly what we wanted, great quality and not super expensive. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend SJ Bishop Architect for a renovation or new build.”

“We engaged Marina and her company Studio MK to help us design and construct a deck to extend our entertaining area of our home. After evaluating several design concepts we settled on one which met our requirements and fitted within our budget. As with all projects which extend off an existing structure, problems were anticipated and a few were encountered, as we discovered that part of the existing veranda structure was unstable. Studio MK were quick to evaluate options and assist us to make the right decision, which was to upgrade the whole structure. These obstacles obviously impacted on cost and time, but these were minimised and we were very happy with the outcome. Marina is very resourceful and she brought several (new to us) solutions to the table, which has resulted in an excellent outcome. We now have a safe and very versatile outdoor entertaining area and can't wait for Summer to return.”

“From the outset the people at Michael Limb Builders were personable, professional and respectable in the way they dealt with us. During the design phase Michael and his architect Amy guided us through the various iterations with patience and advice that kept us within our budget envelope but remained true to our design brief. The best part about dealing with Michael Limb Builders was that there was never any 'sales' pressure to go in a particular direction or select any particular product or brand. We just got knowledgeable professional advice as to what would work, and what wouldn't work. Michael's attention to detail and focus on delivering a quality outcome was evident throughout the project with the end result for us being we now have a high quality home that was delivered within budget and time frame. Overall a great job that met all our objectives. We highly recommend Michael Limb Builders to anyone who is looking for personal treatment from building professionals that build quality homes within budget.”

“We truely had a lovely experience building our new custom built home with Coastyle. John Ekberg and wife Anita as well as the staff were the reason for such an experience. We found them to be honest and trustworthy which is important to us. It’s a huge undertaking to build again after such a long time. Coastyle were always contactable when we needed to speak to them. We just love our new home.”

“Hands down the most professional, hard working and punctual builder I’ve come across. His eye for detail is second to none. If you are looking for a builder/chippy to do some work for you please do yourself a favour and contact Alex, if you are in need of a builder you won’t regret it!”
