Accessible prices, real returns

Cartwright's accessible prices mean a well-scoped renovation shifts the home's value and liveability meaningfully — and the 1970s-80s stock is the friendly era: sound structure, dated everything else.

The scope goes into the layout, kitchen, bathrooms and extension where the block allows.

Clay and era check

Structural changes on the Class H reactive clay check the existing footings and underpin where needed. Any fibro fabric gets a licensed strip-out too.

Both priced into the scope upfront.

How It Works

From First Call to Final Key

Free consultation at your Cartwright home. We inspect the property, discuss what you want to change, check for asbestos in 1970s–1980s-era construction, and provide a realistic budget range and timeline.

Renovation design isn't just "new finishes on old layout" — the best returns come from rethinking how rooms connect. Removing a wall to open kitchen-dining-living, or repositioning a bathroom to free up bedroom space, often delivers more impact than any finish upgrade.

Cosmetic renovations don't need approval. Structural changes require DA or CDC through Liverpool City Council. Buildana assesses and manages the approval pathway.

Construction covers strip-out, structural modifications (if any), waterproofing, rough-in services, fit-out, tiling, cabinetry, painting, and final clean. Staged to minimise disruption to your daily routine.

Documentation pack at handover: warranty for new work, waterproofing certificates for wet areas, electrical compliance certificate, plumbing compliance, BASIX update if envelope changed, OC if structural. Keep with the property file for future sale.

Quality Promise

Buildana's Cartwright renovation approach: assess the existing fabric, design the changes, price the whole job, deliver on contract.
