Running out of room doesn’t always mean you have to move. Often the extra space your family needs is already on your property: above you in the attic, below you in the basement, or sitting out in the yard as an old barn. With more than 30 years in the building industry, we love breathing new life into these underutilised spaces so your home works better for the way you live.
Barns: more than a storage shed
Converting an old barn is not an average project for any builder. Every barn is different, and the building you start with decides how the project unfolds. Before anything is drawn up, a barn conversion needs a careful look at:
- Structure: the condition of the framing, foundations and roof, and what needs strengthening to carry a lived-in space.
- Weather-tightness and moisture: how the building sheds and manages water, and what needs to be done to keep it dry.
- Consents and planning: a change of use is a consent matter, so we work through the requirements early.
- Services and comfort: insulation, heating, electrical and plumbing for a space that was never built for them.
It’s the kind of project that gets our team excited, because a well-planned barn conversion can keep the character of the original building while giving you a space that performs like a modern home.
Attics: far more than storage
An attic can become a functional, well-organised space that offers far more than a place for boxes. A bedroom, home office, hobby room or play space are all common uses. The key questions are the roof structure, access (including a proper stair), headroom, insulation and natural light, and these are best answered by a proper assessment before design starts.
Basements: from dark to welcoming
We specialise in transforming dark, underutilised basement spaces into vibrant, welcoming environments that suit your lifestyle. A good basement project starts below the surface: structural assessment, waterproofing and moisture management come first, followed by smart space-saving design, lighting and ventilation that make the room feel like part of the house rather than an afterthought.
One team, start to finish
From structural assessments and waterproofing to smart space-saving designs, our team handles it all. As turnkey builders we take care of the project from bank financing through to the final CCC, so you deal with one team rather than many.
