Renovating Homes in Point Piper
A home renovation in Point Piper operates in Australia's most expensive postcode — grand Federation and inter-war mansions on 600 to 2,500m² blocks along Wolseley and Wunulla Roads, with HCAs on virtually every street and direct harbour frontage as the norm.
The work is uncompromising: conservation-grade fabric restoration, interiors rebuilt to international standard, and the harbour frontage engineered — rock anchoring is standard on the fall here, priced from the geotech.
The pre-war fabric takes licensed lead-paint and asbestos handling throughout.
We renovate fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Get our renovation scope, with heritage, rock and fall resolved, before you commit.

No margin for less than exact
At Point Piper's values, the renovation is conservation-grade or it is a mistake — restored heritage fabric, interiors rebuilt to international standard, and the direct harbour frontage worked with engineering to match.
Rock anchoring on the fall is standard practice here, not an extra.
Engineering the frontage
The substantial fall and the sandstone mean anchoring, retaining and suspended structure are designed early and priced from the geotech. The pre-war hazards are licensed processes throughout.
All in the scope before you commit.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
We assess your Point Piper home — existing condition, renovation scope, structural requirements, and budget. You'll receive a clear overview of costs and timeline before committing.
⏱Design phase includes floor plan modifications, 3D kitchen and bathroom renders, material palettes, and electrical layout. You approve every detail before construction begins.
⏱For renovations that need DA or CDC, we lodge structural drawings, hydraulic if wet areas move, BASIX if envelope changes, and SEE if DA. For pure cosmetic work, no lodgement, no permit fees — straight to scheduling trades.
⏱Fixed-price renovation from demolition of existing fittings to final finish. Staged programme keeps parts of your home liveable. All trades coordinated by your project manager with weekly updates.
⏱Handover includes a defect walk-through where we mark any final touch-ups, complete them within a week, and re-inspect. The end-state is genuinely finished — not handed over with a list to chase trades back for.
⏱Quality Promise
We renovate Point Piper homes the way they should be renovated — scope locked, budget locked, program locked, then we start.
