The Spit Renovation Specialists
A home renovation in The Spit works the harbour-fall locality at the bridge — Federation mansions and inter-war heritage on 600 to 1,500m² blocks dropping to Middle Harbour, where deep rock excavation is typical and the outlook is the entire point.
The renovation conserves the heritage the HCAs protect and opens the home to the water — levels, terraces and glazing engineered down the fall, rock priced from the geotech.
The pre-war fabric takes licensed lead-paint and asbestos handling, and the original footings are assessed before structural work.
We renovate fixed-price, licence HBL 487805C. Get our renovation scope, with rock and fall priced, before you commit.

The outlook is the entire point
The Spit's premium is Middle Harbour, and the renovation earns it — conserved period fabric, transformed interiors, and living reoriented down the fall with the levels and glazing the water deserves.
The 600 to 1,500m² blocks give the redesign generous room.
Rock, fall and fabric
Deep rock excavation is common where structure changes — priced from the geotech upfront. The fall is engineered early on, and the pre-war hazards run as licensed processes.
All in the scope before you commit.

How It Works
From First Call to Final Key
A The Spit 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.
