Blending old and new? It’s not something to be taken lightly. When re-establishing the structure of your existing home to meet new lifestyle needs, trust our professionally trained experts who are fully adept in the renovation market.

Design Ideas

The kitchen is the heart of the home, and nothing brings people together like a well-designed kitchen island bench.

Whether you’re entertaining guests, enjoying family meals, or helping the kids with homework, an island bench with seating is a game-changer

Thanks Greg for the positive review!

At Spannenberg & Son, we don’t do cookie-cutter solutions. Every project is as unique as the family it’s for. We're here to listen, design, and build to match your vision, just like we did for Greg.

"We had spoken with a few builders about building a 1st floor extension with all of them wanting to sell us a standard floor plan, and then Scott and his team at Spannenberg & Son were recommended to us. From the very first meeting with Scott, he took the time to understand what we wanted and came up with a design to meet that. Patrick did a fantastic job managing the build in awful weather, while Dan, his team, and the other trades, finished the job to an impeccably high standard. Communication was fantastic, nothing was ever too hard, and everyone regularly on site is super friendly - the type of person you'd be happy to invite into your home. We cannot recommend them enough."

This recent renovation Included a first floor addition of a media room and internal renovations to include bathrooms, laundry and kitchen.

Consider renovating as an alternative to knock down rebuild, approval time is often significantly reduced and build time likely 6 months not 18 months.

Is it to good to be true?

Choosing a builder with a low ball price only to find out later on that you have been deceived

While a low ball price may be tempting, in all likely hood you will regret it later, particularly be aware of 'Cost Plus' contracts where the price will invariably blow out

Spannenberg and Son are home renovation specialists with a proven track record, we provide thorough and detailed quotations that are well thought out by experienced professionals who have your best interests at heart, we will provide designs and fixed price contracts that will not get you caught out

Are you going to choose your Builder based on the price?

Are you seeking a low ball price from a builder?

Did you know not all Builders are the same?

Look deeper than some glossy photos and a presentable and well and intentioned personality- as that shine may soon wane

Let’s provide you some information to help you choose the right builder

A poor builder looks like this - 

Low ball price to get his foot in the door and then hit you up for extras later

Inexperienced

Poor documentation

Does not price the job properly (could go broke half way through the build)

Often unavailable because he is spread thin and trying to be in 10 places at once

Insufficient funds and financial backing, likely with higher insurance premiums due to risk profile

Poor site supervision

Cheap trades and materials

Un happy clients and poor reviews

In sufficient insurances

Does not answer the phone

Poor safety

Does not pay his trades

So what does a good builder look like, who can I trust?

Good track record - he is experienced and been in business many years, you can do an online search on his Licence to find valuable information

A specialist 

Good communication

Documented system and process, you will notice a set processes for the way he operates and documentation to go with this

Covered with home warranty insurance and other full suite of insurances

Looks after and invests in staff, Industry training and compliance

Dedicated software systems

Good communication, you can pick up the phone and speak to someone

Quality trades

Good client reviews

Quality experienced and educated staff

Complies with statutory requirements

Will sign a contract and provide insurances before taking a deposit

Has solid financial credentials

We can go on but we are highlighting how much goes on behind the scenes, the things you may not see or have thought about and what is required to run a successful building business the things that need to be in place to provide quality and service.

So going back to our first question - do expect the quality experienced builder to cost more, these costs do need to be passed onto the client, choose your builder based on the right qualities and not a cheaper price

Showcasing some of the work we have done, this home extension we completed located in Hornsby heights has a lovely new verandah on the rear with stacking sliding doors.

You can look right through to the windows on the front of the home, huge open spaces and plenty of light.
