A home renovation is disruptive, expensive and personal, which is exactly why it should be run like a professional construction project. We manage full and partial home renovations across Cape Town with a clear scope before work starts, a fixed itemised quote you can hold us to, steady communication while we build, and quality inspections before you pay the final cent.
What our home renovations include
- Full-home refurbishments, stripped back, rebuilt and finished properly
- Bathroom renovations, new plumbing, waterproofing, tiling, fittings and finishes
- Structural alterations and layout changes, coordinated with engineers where required
- House extensions that add space and value
- Flooring, screeds, tiling and the finishing work that determines how the whole project looks
- Braai areas, patios and outdoor living upgrades
How the job runs
Every renovation follows the same five steps: a free site visit where you leave with scope, timeline and budget direction; a fixed, itemised quotation with inclusions and exclusions defined; project planning that sequences the work before anyone lifts a tool; construction under supervision with regular progress updates; and a snag-free handover with a signed quality certificate, followed by a complimentary 60-day inspection.
How long it takes
It depends on scope. A single bathroom typically runs two to three weeks, while a full home renovation runs over several months. We give you a realistic timeline up front in your quote, and keep you updated against it, with early notice if anything is likely to change.
What drives the cost
The biggest cost drivers are the extent of the scope, structural work that needs engineering input, wet areas and plumbing changes, and the level of finishes you choose. Rather than guessing, start with the free site visit: you get honest budget direction on your actual property, followed by a fixed itemised quote, so there are no surprises halfway through.
See it before we build it
For larger renovations we model your space in SketchUp to the real dimensions of your property, so you can judge the layout properly instead of trying to picture it from a description. You receive a high resolution proposal electronically and as a printed copy.
Work we have done
Recent home renovation work includes a full home renovation at Townsend Estate, a bathroom renovation at Richmond Estate, a pool and entertainment area renovation in Goodwood, and a garage converted into a home office. See the before-and-after projects, including the sliders where you can compare the condition we started with against what we handed back.
Before you appoint anyone
Ask every contractor who quotes you for their NHBRC registration, a COIDA Letter of Good Standing and proof of Contractors All Risks insurance. We will send you ours if you ask. It is also worth reading the questions to ask before hiring a contractor and your rights when hiring a builder, whether you build with us or not.
