FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to your questions about renovating in the Upper North Shore and how we can help you with your next renovation.

Do I need council approval for a first-floor addition on the Upper North Shore?

Yes, most first-floor additions require a Development Application through Ku-ring-gai or Hornsby Council. In suburbs like Wahroonga and Turramurra, we work with the sloped terrain and character controls to design additions that flow naturally with the existing home and streetscape.

Can you modernise older kitchens in double-brick homes on the Upper North Shore?

Yes. Many homes across Roseville and Pymble have solid brick interiors that require careful demolition and rerouting of services. We deliver modern kitchen layouts with premium cabinetry, clever storage, and finishes that match the home's character and value.

What’s the best way to update a 1980s home on the Upper North Shore?

Homes built in the 80s often have disconnected layouts and poor insulation. In areas like St Ives and Killara, we open up living zones, replace tired materials, and install high-performance glazing and ventilation systems to enhance comfort and energy efficiency.

Can you help with bushfire-compliant designs on the Upper North Shore?

Absolutely. Properties near bushland in suburbs like Hornsby and North Turramurra often fall within bushfire-prone zones. We work with bushfire consultants and use compliant materials to meet BAL ratings while delivering a stylish, functional home tailored to your site.

Are there limitations when renovating heritage homes on the Upper North Shore?

Yes, particularly in conservation areas around Lindfield and Wahroonga. Council guidelines often require façade retention and material matching. We design thoughtful renovations that respect the home's history while improving everyday livability, light, and storage.
