Questions About Your Build or Reno?

Our Frequently Asked Questions page has all the answers to common questions about our building, renovation and extension services in Hobart. Got any other questions? Reach out to us via our contact and enquiry page.

Do you build decks or outdoor areas?

We sure do. While our main focus is bathrooms, extensions and new builds, we also take on quality outdoor projects like decks and alfresco areas — especially when they’re part of a larger renovation or extension.

Can you help identify gaps or issues in other builder quotes?

Yes. One of our strengths is transparency. If you've received a quote elsewhere and you're unsure about what's included (or missing), we're happy to help you understand it. We’ve seen too many clients caught off guard by vague or incomplete quotes.

What if I don’t have plans or a designer yet?

No worries at all. We can recommend designers and drafts people we trust, or work with whoever you’ve already engaged. We’re happy to collaborate early so your plans are practical, buildable, and align with your budget.

Do you organise all the trades, or do I need to book them myself?

Yes — we handle all the subcontractors for your project. We work with a trusted group of local trades who share our focus on quality and reliability. You won’t need to chase plumbers or sparkies — we’ve got it covered.

Do I get to choose the fixtures?

Absolutely. It’s your home, so your preferences come first. We’ll guide you through trusted suppliers, help shortlist options, and offer advice if needed — but the final say is always yours. From tap ware to tiles, we’ll help you select finishes that match your vision and budget.

How long does it take?

Most bathroom renovations take 3–5 weeks, while larger extensions or new builds will naturally take longer depending on design, approvals, and construction phases. Before any work starts, we’ll provide you with a realistic timeline — including a Gantt chart or visual schedule — so you’ll always know what’s happening and when.

Can I live in my home during the renovation?

In many cases, yes — especially for smaller or staged renovations. But depending on the work involved (e.g., waterproofing, demolition, or structural changes), it might be safer and less disruptive to relocate for part of the process. We’ll give you clear guidance from the start, and work around your needs wherever possible.

What's included in your quote?

It really depends on the scope, complexity, and materials involved. Every project is different — but what doesn’t change is how we quote. We provide clear, detailed, and visual quotes that outline exactly what’s included, so you’re never left guessing. Whether it’s a bathroom update or a full home extension, you’ll always know where your money’s going and why.

How much does a build or renovation cost?

It depends on the job, but our quotes are clear and visual — so you always know what you’re paying for.
