Lilyfield Home Renovations
A home renovation in Lilyfield works terrace and cottage stock between Leichhardt and the water — Victorian, Federation and sandstone fabric on 150 to 400m² blocks, with HCAs over most streets and the light rail spine keeping the position effortless.
The craft is inner-west standard: conserved frontages, interiors transformed for light, courtyards designed hard, and Iron Cove glimpses captured on the falling streets.
The pre-war fabric gets licensed lead-paint and asbestos handling, and party walls and old footings are assessed first.

Between the village and the bay
Lilyfield's terraces and sandstone cottages renovate by precision — conserved fabric under the HCAs, light drawn deep into the narrow floorplates, and water glimpses worked on the streets falling to Iron Cove and Rozelle Bay.
The light rail spine keeps the lifestyle effortless while the work runs.
Heritage fabric handled
Lead paint and asbestos in the pre-war fabric are licensed processes, with party walls and original footings assessed before structural moves.
All priced into the scope upfront.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
Everything that has to be right before we touch the ground. Free consultation at your Lilyfield home. We inspect the property, discuss what you want to change, check for asbestos in 1880s–1920s-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.
⏱The Lilyfield construction phase. Fixed price, programmed, supervised. Cosmetic renovations don't need approval. Structural changes require DA or CDC through Inner West 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.
⏱The job isn't done when the site's clean; it's done when you have keys, certificates and warranties. 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.
