At Transcend Homes, we offer a streamlined approach to renovations and extensions by integrating design and construction. We collaborate with an experienced designer we trust, ensuring your project is thoughtfully planned from the outset.

By having a builder involved in the design phase, we can provide practical solutions that maximise your space, improve functionality, and align with your budget. One of the key benefits of this approach is cost-efficiency. Our team ensures the design is buildable from the start, helping to avoid expensive revisions or structural challenges later in the process.

We also consider construction logistics early on, reducing delays and making sure your renovation or extension progresses smoothly.If you already have plans from an architect or designer, we are happy to work with them and bring your project to life.

Project timelines vary based on the scope of work. Minor renovations may take a few weeks, while major extensions or whole-home transformations can take several months.

We provide a clear timeframe at the start and keep you informed at every stage of the project to minimise disruptions. Throughout the process, we manage timelines efficiently, coordinating with tradespeople and suppliers to ensure a smooth workflow.

Our goal is to deliver high-quality results without unnecessary delays, and we communicate regularly so you always know what to expect.

Some extensions and renovations require council approval. Before commencing any development, it's essential to verify whether a planning permit is required. This depends of the zoning and overlays applicable to your property. We can guide you through the process, submit the necessary applications, and ensure all work complies with codes and regulations.

Another key requirement for many projects is an energy rating assessment. In line with Australia’s sustainability regulations, your renovation or extension may need to meet minimum energy efficiency standards. We assist in incorporating energy-efficient design elements, such as insulation, glazing, and passive heating and cooling strategies, to help improve your home’s performance and meet regulatory requirements.

Navigating permits and compliance can be complex, but we manage this for you, liaising with councils, building surveyors, and energy assessors to streamline approvals. If additional requirements arise, such as heritage overlays or bushfire zone compliance, we help address them so your project can move forward without unnecessary complications.

This depends on the scale of work. Some renovations, such as kitchen or bathroom upgrades, allow for continued occupancy, while larger projects involving major structural changes may require you to relocate temporarily or for the entire duration.

We discuss this with you upfront and, where possible, find ways to minimise disruption so you can remain in your home if it’s practical. If staying in your home isn’t feasible, we provide guidance on temporary living arrangements and work efficiently to reduce downtime.

We also take measures to keep construction zones clean and safe for those who choose to stay.
