Home Renovating Services in Collingwood, Victoria

“We couldn't be happier and thoroughly recommend Alistairs' services. We contacted Alistair from Secret Design Studio to assist us in the renovation of our 1960's home in Sydney. We loved the mid century architectural merit of the home and were looking to retain and celebrate its character whilst creating a modern, family home. From the first conversation, we knew Alistair was exactly the person we needed. He is very passionate about MCM design and his knowledge and expertise is extensive. We are thrilled with his direction, advice and support throughout the process.”

“We engaged GIA to undertake a renovation of several upstairs rooms into a master bedroom suite. All works were completed within 5 weeks to the highest standard. We concurrently asked GIA to build an outside, freestanding 40m2 bungalow built of brick (rendered and colourbond roofing. This also was built at the same time and was completed in 5 weeks. The standard of construction and workmanship was first rate and all subcontractors that entered our home were decent people that respected our privacy. I thoroughlly recommend GIA.”

“Matthew worked closely with us to design our new home. He listened to our brief, then came up with lots of great design ideas to create a smart, energy efficient home that will suit our young family lifestyle. We also think it looks great! We are very happy with the result and can't wait to move in.”

“My husband and I decided in our later years to build a new house and discovered Steve Drougas of Concept Studio through houzz. Concept Studio worked with us to create exactly the home that we envisioned, completely understanding our brief. This was a challenging job, as the space for the home was limited and Steve was able to include everything that we requested. He attended the site and assessed site conditions and constraints. Made initial inquiries regarding authority regulations and requirements. Provided recommendations for the appointment of other specialist consultants as required, including their fees. Steve Dougas is very easy to deal with, always contactable and sticks to deadlines. He listens to you as the homeowner and is respectful of your wishes, ideas and interests. He is not designing for himself – he is designing for you. He is knowledgeable and professional. His whole team is great to work with. Steve made what could have been a daunting process very easy and did it very quickly. We have no hesitation in recommending Concept Studio and would most certainly use them again ourselves.”

“Our renovation was completed on time, on budget and the quality of the work was excellent. Justin and his team were easy to work with and everything flowed smoothly from start to finish. They gave us ideas and options when we needed them so that we could make good decisions without any nasty surprises at the end. Even the neighbours were complimentary about their professionalism whilst on site. Our home has been completely transformed and everything looks so sturdy and that its been built to last.”

“I can strongly recommend First Avenue Homes. Anthony is a high quality builder and has the ability to make very complex tasks simple and completed our complicated renovation project in a timely manner and within budget. I will be going to First Avenue Home first for any renovation or construction project in the future. Thank you Anthony.”

“As novice home builders, we were overwhelmed with permit applications, construction methods, material choices and many other expensive decisions. Ton Vu and Aaron Neighbour, together with the team at the Atlas Architect meticulously transformed our requirements and preferences into a concise construction reality. They patiently guided us through the various council and regulatory applications and permits. They shared in-depth knowledge of construction solutions, extensive network of trusted consultants and builders recommendations. These valuable insights have introduced us to many budget-conscious solutions and avoided expensive home building pitfalls. Thanks again to Ton, Arron and the Atlas team for the invaluable guidance in our project.”

“We have always planned to renovate our existing house but had been unsure as how to overcome some flow and function issues. We wanted to add a bedroom/study, an alfresco entertaining space and a garage/carport onto our existing house. We had seen lots of renovations of similar houses but they always seemed to have something missing or were not quite right! The My Architect team were recommended after a chance conversation at a child's party - the initial meeting and concept plans really appealed to us, the idea of a relatively small outlay to see what the options and initial costings were. We contacted Cate at My Architect who set us up an appointment with Lyndal Williams. We had quite set ideas about what would be possible. Lyndal patiently worked through our needs/wants and has put together the perfect floorplan for us. It is quite different to what we had imagined and we have managed to tick off all the priorities as well as adding some wonderful extras that we feel will make our home function more efficiently as well as being a great entertaining space! We had initially planned to only use the My Architect team for the concept plans. However after dealing with Lyndal we felt that we simply had to continue to utilise her skills to help us complete the project. The set pricing for the My Architect services made us confident that we were clear about this cost from the beginning. So far we have completed plans for tendering and are waiting for building to commence in September. Cate has followed up and sought feedback along the way and despite our project taking quite some time we have never felt rushed! Lyndal has done a great job with our plans and really understood what we wanted before we did in some ways. She has also dealt with our questions and queries patiently!!!! We can highly recommend that anyone considering renovating or building use the My Architect team!”

“We chose Dylan not only because of his designs that caught our eye but mainly because of how comfortable we felt on our initial brief. He has been great to work with since the start of our project always doing that little bit extra and having time for us whenever we need. So excited with the progrees of our home, can not wait to move in!!!”

“Ryan and the team at Yarrabank did a great job with renovating an old extension on our place into a modern living space. They always kept us up to date with progress and discussed key decisions when it was needed to ensure there were minimal delays. And they even helped us sort out some other issues around our house at a very competitive price. For any disputes, of which there were very few, they were always very reasonable. Would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering a building project.”
