Exterior Surfaces – We apply weatherproof, UV-resistant coatings like Dulux Weathershield and PPG SunProof, which provide long-lasting protection against sun, rain, and humidity.
Trim, Doors & Cabinetry – We use semi-gloss and gloss enamel paints for a smooth, hard-wearing finish, such as Dulux Aquanamel or PPG UltraLast.
Feature Walls & Decorative Finishes – For textured or special-effect finishes, we offer Dulux Design Effects (metallic, suede, stone) and PPG specialty coatings.

We offer low-VOC and eco-friendly paint options to reduce fumes and improve indoor air quality, ensuring a safe environment for families, children, and pets.

The timeline for a bathroom renovation varies based on factors such as the size of the bathroom, complexity of the design, material availability, and required approvals. However, when everything is ready—meaning all supplies are available, trades are scheduled, and no additional permits are required—the typical construction time is approximately 2 to 3 weeks.

When planning a bathroom renovation, here’s a general breakdown of the process:
🛠 Week 1: Demolition & Preparation
✔ Site Preparation & Protection – Setting up dust control measures and protecting surrounding areas.
✔ Demolition & Removal – Removing old tiles, fixtures, and cabinetry.
✔ Plumbing & Electrical Rough-In – Installing new pipework, drains, and electrical wiring if required.
🧱 Week 2: Structural Work & Tiling
✔ Wall Sheeting & Waterproofing – Installing moisture-resistant walls and applying waterproof membranes.
✔ Floor & Wall Tiling – Laying down tiles and allowing adequate drying time.
🚿 Week 3: Fittings, Fixtures & Final Touches
✔ Installation of Fixtures – Bathtub, shower screens, vanity, toilet, and tapware.
✔ Painting & Sealing – Touch-ups, grouting, and waterproof sealing.
✔ Final Inspection & Cleaning – Ensuring quality workmanship before handover.

Some situations can extend the renovation beyond 3 weeks, including:
Custom Orders & Material Delays – If custom vanities, stone countertops, or specialty tiles are required, lead times may be longer.
Structural or Plumbing Issues – Hidden damage (e.g., water leaks, mold, or outdated plumbing) may require additional repairs.
Changes to the Design Midway – Alterations to the layout, fixtures, or finishes after work has started can lead to extra time.
Council Approvals or Strata Permissions – Some apartments and townhouses require approvals that can delay the project.

To minimize delays and complete your bathroom renovation as efficiently as possible, we recommend:
✔ Finalizing the design and materials before work begins – Selecting and ordering tiles, vanities, and fixtures in advance prevents delays.
✔ Booking trades early – Plumbers, electricians, and tilers should be scheduled ahead of time to avoid waiting periods.
✔ Allowing buffer time – While we aim to complete renovations in 2-3 weeks, unforeseen issues can sometimes extend the project.

Subdividing a property involves several steps to ensure compliance with local laws and regulations. The specific approvals needed can vary depending on the location, property zoning, and the scope of the subdivision. Generally, you’ll need to obtain:

1. Development Application (DA) Approval
   The first step is submitting a Development Application (DA) to your local council. This application will assess:
   Zoning compliance: Whether the subdivision aligns with the local zoning laws and land use policies.
   Environmental impact: Considerations like the effect on local wildlife, vegetation, and drainage.
   Infrastructure: Availability of essential services like water, sewerage, and roads.
2. Subdivision Certificate Once your DA is approved, you’ll need a Subdivision Certificate, which confirms the subdivision meets all the conditions set by the council. This typically requires: Surveying the property: A licensed surveyor maps out the new lot boundaries. Compliance checks: Ensuring all DA conditions are met, including any necessary infrastructure upgrades.
3. Utility Connections Approval
   Before finalizing, you may need approvals from utility providers for:
   Water and sewerage connections — especially if creating new lots requires extending existing services.
   Electricity and gas connections — ensuring each new lot can be serviced independently.
4. Land Titles Office Registration
   After obtaining all necessary certificates and approvals, the final step is registering the new lots with the Land Titles Office (or equivalent in your state). This legally separates the lots, allowing them to be sold or developed individually.
5. Additional Considerations: Bushfire or Flood Prone Areas: If your property is in a designated risk area, you might need additional assessments or mitigations. Strata Subdivision: If subdividing a building into units, a strata plan and body corporate setup might be necessary. Developer Contributions: Some councils require a financial contribution towards local infrastructure improvements.
