Heritage
Restoration
Sympathetic restoration in Melbourne's protected zones.
Heritage homes are some of Melbourne's most valuable building stock, and some of its most demanding to renovate. Permits, specialist trades, and a different vocabulary of materials are required. We have completed projects within Heritage Overlays across Melbourne's inner suburbs, and our trade network includes the specialists this work demands.
What's included
- Façade restoration and conservation
- Sash window restoration and reglazing
- Lime mortar repointing and rendering
- Slate, terracotta, and metal roof restoration
- Restoration of original fittings — joinery, fireplaces, ceiling roses, cornices
- Sympathetic interior renovation behind the protected façade
- New additions designed to council and heritage requirements
Our process
Heritage advisor engaged early → planning permit submission → building permit → specialist trades scheduled around longer lead times → staged construction with conservation-grade methods → handover.

Typical investment
Heritage compliance typically adds 10–20% to equivalent non-heritage work. Permit and consultant fees alone often run $5,000 – $20,000 before any building begins.
Lead time
Typically 4–8 weeks longer than equivalent work without heritage controls. Planning permits alone are six to twelve weeks, sometimes longer.
