FAQs
Frequently asked questions
We answer the real questions Northern Beaches clients ask like how to maximise indoor-outdoor flow and how to manage a build on a sloping block.
What’s the best way to renovate an older home on the Northern Beaches?
Many homes in suburbs like Collaroy Plateau and Wheeler Heights were built in the 60s–80s with low ceilings and disconnected layouts. We open up living areas, improve insulation and ventilation, and modernise finishes to suit today’s coastal lifestyle.
Can I add a second storey to my home on the Northern Beaches?
Yes. First-floor additions are common in suburbs like Avalon and Mona Vale, especially on sloping blocks. We manage design, engineering, and council approvals to add space while keeping the look and feel of your home in line with the local character.
Are there special design considerations for homes near the ocean?
Definitely. In beachside suburbs like Dee Why and Freshwater, exposure to salt air, wind and moisture requires careful selection of materials. We specify marine-grade cladding, durable finishes and proper ventilation to extend the life of your renovation.
Can you renovate apartments in Northern Beaches suburbs like Manly?
Absolutely. We renovate apartments in high-density suburbs like Manly and Queenscliff, managing strata approvals, tight access and working hours. From kitchen reconfigurations to full bathrooms, we deliver clean, efficient renovations in complex settings.
What’s involved in getting approval for a renovation on the Northern Beaches?
Northern Beaches Council has specific planning rules that vary by suburb. Whether you're in Newport or Beacon Hill, we handle all Development Applications or CDC approvals, making sure your renovation complies with zoning, setbacks and bushfire regulations.
