Full interior strip-out
Back to structure where it is warranted, with what is behind the walls assessed rather than assumed.
Whole-home renovation,
phased and sequenced.
Interior gut and rebuild — planned so you know what happens each week and, more importantly, when you get your house back.
The approach
A gut renovation is a
A gut renovation is a
logistics problem.
Grant G. described his project as an interior gut and remodel — a huge job — and said everything turned out incredible. Sue K., on a similar scope, talked about an eye for detail and a strong work ethic. Both were describing the same thing from different angles: a large project that stayed under control.
That is what a whole-home renovation actually demands. The construction techniques are not exotic. What is hard is sequencing twelve trades through one building, in the right order, without any of them undoing the last one's work — while the client still has a life to live around it.
So we plan the phasing before we plan anything else. Which rooms come offline when, what the critical path is, where the long-lead items sit, and what your realistic move-back date is. Then we hold to it, and tell you early when something threatens it.

What is included
Everything this
Everything this
work involves.
One licence covers all of it. You are not appointing six separate trades and refereeing between them.
Structural alterations
Wall removal, new beams and load paths to open up a plan that was drawn for a different era of living.
Complete re-services
Plumbing, electrical and HVAC brought up to current code and specified for how the house will actually be used.
Kitchens and bathrooms
The two rooms that dominate a renovation budget, handled to the same standard as our standalone remodels.
Flooring, painting and lighting
Continuous flooring, proper paint preparation, and a lighting design that suits the reworked plan.
Phasing and programme
A week-by-week plan of what happens where, so you can arrange your life around the build with confidence.
How it runs
Four stages,
Four stages,
no surprises.
You will always know which stage you are in and what happens next.
01
Survey and phasing plan
We assess the whole building, then build the programme around the critical path and your realistic move-back date.
02
Strip-out and structure
Demolition, then structural alterations and any remedial work the strip-out reveals.
03
Services and dry-in
Plumbing, electrical and HVAC through the whole house, inspected, then insulation and drywall.
04
Fit-out and handover
Kitchens, bathrooms, joinery, flooring, lighting and paint, then a full-house punch list walked together.

Questions
Straight answers.
Most run five to twelve months on site depending on square footage, how much structural work is involved, and whether the services are being fully replaced. Permitting and long-lead items sit on top of that. We give you a phased programme rather than a single optimistic date.
For a full gut, usually yes — the house has no working services for a period. For a phased renovation where we take the property zone by zone, many clients stay. We will tell you honestly which your scope requires.
By sequencing it properly and by having the owner on site rather than managing it from a distance. Most large-project failures are coordination failures, and coordination is not something you can delegate to a spreadsheet.
On a house of any age you should expect some. Old wiring, failed waterproofing, rot, or framing that was never right. Every one is raised with you, priced in writing, and agreed before the work is done.
Yes, and we do regularly. We can also help align an early scheme with a realistic budget, which is usually a better use of everyone's time than fully detailing something that cannot be built for the money available.
