Renovations & Extensions
Full home renovations and extensions, properly scoped, properly delivered.
Thoughtfully designed and expertly built renovations across Melbourne, with clear communication, quality craftsmanship, and a process you can feel confident in from start to finish.
Why It Works
Renovations that work for the long term.
A good renovation is not just about what it looks like on handover day. It is about what still holds up in five years: the structural decisions, the materials, and the way trades coordinated their work. That is what we build for.
We take a structured approach: understand the site thoroughly, develop the scope with you, coordinate the specialists and consultants, price it properly, and build it.
Our renovation clients are typically people who have been through a bad experience somewhere else, or who have enough experience to know that the cheapest quote usually costs the most in the end.
What We Do
Renovation services we deliver.
Kitchen Renovations
From full structural redesigns to quality kitchen fitouts. We coordinate cabinetmakers, plumbers, electricians, and tilers so the result is seamless.
Bathroom Renovations
Every bathroom we deliver is waterproofed to the letter of the Building Code. We will not take shortcuts that cost you later.
Structural Alterations
Wall removals, floor level changes, underpinning, beam installations, the work that needs an engineer, a surveyor, and a builder who knows what they are doing.
Heritage Renovations
East Melbourne is full of character homes. We know how to work with period homes, both technically and sensitively.
Multi-Stage Renovations
Some projects happen in stages. We plan for it from the beginning so each stage connects properly to the next.
Full Home Transforms
When everything needs updating. We take a holistic view of the project and sequence the work to minimise disruption and cost.
Design & Construct
No plans yet? We can organise that too.
Many of our renovation clients come to us with an idea but no drawings. Through our Design & Construct service, we coordinate the designers, architects, and consultants required to shape your renovation from concept through to construction, all under one roof.
Questions
Renovation questions, answered.
What is included in a full home renovation with JSG Construct?
A full renovation through JSG Construct includes pre-construction planning, discovery call, coordination of all engineers and consultants, construction management, all trades, and final handover inspection. You deal with one company from start to finish.
How do you keep renovation costs under control?
The most effective way to control cost is to fully understand the project before pricing it. Our pre-construction phase identifies site conditions, structural requirements, and scope clearly so the price reflects the actual work, not a best guess.
How long does a home renovation take?
This depends entirely on scope. Smaller single-room or partial renovations run 8 to 14 weeks. Full home renovations with structural changes typically run 20 to 35 weeks. We provide a detailed programme as part of the contract.
Can you help with before and after renovation planning?
Yes. We help clients understand what needs to change, what needs to stay, and what needs consultant input before design and construction decisions are finalised.
Do you work on kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas?
Yes. These spaces are often part of a broader renovation or extension project, and we coordinate the relevant trades and finishes as part of the full scope.
Can you renovate while keeping the character of the home?
Yes. Many Melbourne homes need a careful balance of old and new. We plan around the existing structure and character so the finished work feels considered rather than patched on.
