RENOVATIONS
RENOVATING AN OLDER MELBOURNE HOME WITHOUT THE GUESSWORK.
We work on the renovations that sit somewhere between a single bathroom and a full transformation of the home. Whether you're reworking one room, bringing several spaces together, or renovating the whole house, the job is the same at its core: understand the house, understand how you live in it, and work out what it actually needs before we start pulling things apart.
We work with homeowners across Ascot Vale, Melbourne's inner north and north-west, helping transform older homes into spaces that work for modern life.
We don't believe the answer to an old house is automatically a bigger renovation or a bigger budget. Sometimes the best solution is the one that solves the problem properly without spending money where it doesn't need to go.
WHAT ARE YOU RENOVATING?
BATHROOM RENOVATIONS
A bathroom has to work hard in a surprisingly small space. We take care of the layout, waterproofing, fixtures, finishes and all the details that make the difference between a bathroom that looks good on handover and one that still works properly years later.

MULTI-ROOM RENOVATIONS
02
Sometimes the problem isn't one room. It's how several rooms work together. We coordinate renovations across kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, living spaces and other areas of the home, keeping the design, budget, trades and programme connected from the start.
FULL HOME RENOVATIONS
When the house needs a more complete rethink, we take a whole-home view. That means looking at how the spaces connect, how the house actually functions, what is worth keeping, and where your money will make the biggest difference.
03
BUILT AROUND THE HOUSE YOU ACTUALLY HAVE
Older Melbourne homes come with their own set of questions. What's behind the wall isn't always what you expect. Floors aren't always level. Services have been changed over the years. And the way a house was designed decades ago doesn't always match how a family lives today.
That's why we look before we price. We investigate what's actually there, identify the risks, and build the project around what we find rather than what we assume.
SEE THE SPACE BEFORE WE BUILD IT
We provide 3D renders with your quote, so you can see what the finished space is intended to look and feel like before construction begins.
You shouldn't have to understand a technical drawing to know whether you're going to love your renovation.

A RENOVATION PROCESS WITHOUT THE GUESSWORK
From your first enquiry, you'll deal directly with the builder running your project. We come to the house, understand the brief, work through the design, investigate what's behind the walls, coordinate the consultants and approvals, and put a real price against the documented job before construction starts.
Once we're on site, you'll receive a written update every week. And when the job is finished, we're not finished with you. SavvyCare brings us back at three, six and twelve months to check the work and make sure everything is doing what it should.
NOT SURE WHICH RENOVATION IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Tell us what you're trying to change, what's not working now, and what you'd like the house to do differently. We'll tell you what we think the project needs — even if that means telling you that you don't need as much work as you thought.
