CARPENTRY & CONSTRUCTION, TOGETHER
Advanced Craft Carpentry and Advanced Craft Construction bring together detailed timberwork and larger residential building projects. This is where our extensions, renovation and structural work sit alongside the joinery, decking and heritage repairs you already know.
Whether you are making more room or repairing what is already there, we start by understanding how you want to use your home.
THE SCOPE OF OUR WORK
A clear brief connects the larger building work with the details that make a home feel complete.
Create additional living space from your designs and plans, considering how the new rooms connect to the existing home. The project brief needs to account for structural timberwork, openings, floor levels, access and finishes, alongside the design and approval requirements for the proposed addition.
Plan kitchen, bathroom and living-area renovations, from changes to fitted cabinetry through to a broader layout update. Define the carpentry, flooring, doorways and finishes alongside plumbing, electrical, waterproofing and other specialist trade requirements so the complete project is understood.
Renovation services ↗Assess and renew timber framing, joists, bearers, posts and other components within the agreed building work. Existing condition and relevant design or engineering details inform the repair approach, including access to concealed areas and reinstatement of the surrounding finishes.
Planning structural work ↗Repair and renew older verandahs, balconies, doors and interior timberwork with attention to the character of the original home.
Heritage carpentry ↗Decks, balconies, stairs and entertaining spaces, considering the supporting timberwork as carefully as the finished boards and handrails.
Decks & balconies ↗Timber repairs following termite damage, deterioration or other damage. We also welcome enquiries about maintenance work for strata and managed properties.

THE FINISHED SPACE
Cabinetry, doorways, flooring and trims help connect a renovation to the way you live. Planning them alongside the larger work makes the brief clearer from the outset.
Browse our project photographsA CLEAR START
Send your property suburb, a summary of the work, photographs and any drawings you already have. If a designer or engineer is involved, their information will help us understand the proposal.
Before work begins, discuss the written scope, materials, exclusions, timing and responsibilities for design, approvals and other trades. For an occupied home, access and the order of work also need to be considered.
Existing buildings can reveal conditions that were not visible at the first visit. Discuss how changes to the scope would be assessed, quoted and agreed.

Yes. Start with your suburb, photographs and the space you want to create. Explain whether you are at the ideas, design or approved-plans stage. Karl can discuss what information is needed next; responsibilities for design, engineering and approvals should be agreed before building work is finalised.
The agreed areas of work, drawings, materials, finishes, access, trade responsibilities and exclusions should be clear. Discuss timing and how changes or concealed conditions will be assessed and quoted, so you understand what is included before proceeding.
Tell us at the outset if you intend to remain at the property. Access, affected rooms, services and the order of work need to be considered. Whether staging is practical depends on the particular extension or renovation.
Our Glebe heritage renovation case study brings together kitchen and bathroom upgrades, balcony restoration and outdoor living. It shows how detailed carpentry and larger improvements can be considered together within an existing home.
