A home renovation in Chifley is the Randwick LGA's value play — post-war fibro and brick on 500 to 700m² blocks at the LGA's most accessible prices, minutes from Maroubra's beaches.
The honest era read leads: solid brick rewards opening the plan, renewing the wet areas and extending; tired fibro gets the rebuild comparison. The post-war fabric carries asbestos, cleared by licensed strip-out.
The sandstone ground keeps most footings straightforward.

Eastern-suburbs value, honestly scoped
Chifley's accessible entry into the Randwick LGA makes the renovation maths work — solid brick modernised properly gains real value with the beaches minutes away, while tired fibro gets the honest rebuild comparison first.
The 500 to 700m² blocks take rear extensions comfortably.
Asbestos handled, footings simple
The post-war fabric carries asbestos, handled by licensed strip-out and clearance certificate. The sandstone ground keeps the footings straightforward on most blocks.
All priced into the scope upfront.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
A Chifley renovation starts with what's worth keeping. Character floorboards, structural brickwork, original joinery — if it earns its place, it stays. Everything else gets a hard look.
⏱Design is pragmatic. Removing the right wall to open a kitchen, upgrading the bathroom to function properly, fixing the laundry that was an afterthought in 1975. Structural engineer signs off before anything load-bearing moves.
⏱Construction runs in stages so you can live in the house for parts of it. Wet areas and kitchens get a clear programme — three weeks without a kitchen is normal; three months is someone else's job.
⏱Handover is clean. New work tied into old work with matched finishes, defects fixed before you move back into the finished zones, warranty on all new work.
