Everything you want to know before you renovate.

Here are some of the answers you might be looking for.

What types of renovations are common on the Fleurieu Peninsula?

Homeowners across the Fleurieu Peninsula often invest in major renovations such as ground floor extensions, second storey additions, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, garage or shed conversions, and enhancements to outdoor living spaces.

These projects typically aim to increase functionality, create more space, and elevate the overall lifestyle and aesthetic of the home.

What approvals do I need before starting a renovation?

Most structural renovations on the Fleurieu Peninsula require development approval from your local council. This applies to projects that expand the floor area, alter the building footprint, or modify structural elements.

Heritage or character zoned properties may need additional permits and consultation. Engaging your builder early helps streamline the approval process and ensures compliance from the start.

How long will my renovation take?

Timeframes vary depending on size and complexity.

Council approvals generally take 4 to 6 weeks, while construction can range from several months for interior renovations to longer for full scale remodels or extensions.

Your builder will provide an estimated schedule tailored to your project scope and site conditions.

Can I stay in my home during the renovation?

For smaller renovations, staying in your home is usually possible with some disruption.

For major renovations or two storey additions, temporary relocation may be recommended for comfort and safety. Your builder can help plan logistics to minimise inconvenience.

How much will the renovation cost?

Renovation costs depend on materials, finishes, and design complexity. It’s important to obtain a detailed quote and allow for contingencies to cover any unforeseen site issues.

Working with an experienced local builder familiar with the Peninsula’s conditions ensures accurate budgeting and high quality outcomes.

How do I find the right builder or renovator?

Choose a builder with proven local experience who understands the Fleurieu Peninsula’s environment, coastal conditions, and council regulations.

Reviewing past projects, seeking referrals, and ensuring clear communication are key to a smooth and successful renovation.

How will the renovation affect my neighbours?

Renovations can create temporary noise, dust, and increased traffic.

Informing your neighbours in advance and adhering to local working hour regulations helps maintain positive relationships during construction.

Can I incorporate energy efficiency and sustainability?

Absolutely. Many homeowners on the Fleurieu Peninsula prioritise sustainable choices such as energy efficient lighting, solar systems, water saving fixtures, and natural ventilation.

These elements not only reduce environmental impact but also create healthier, more comfortable homes.
