YOUR LOCAL BOWRAL BUILDERS

Building in the Heart of the Highlands: Heritage, Renovations & Extensions

Renovating in Bowral demands a builder who appreciates the blend of historic charm and modern luxury. From restoring Federation homes in the "Old Bowral" precinct to crafting contemporary extensions near Mount Gibraltar, we deliver premium craftsmanship that elevates your property's value and livability.

How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Bowral?

Kitchen renovations in Bowral generally start from $35,000 for a cosmetic refresh but often range between $60,000 – $90,000+ for a full custom redesign. This typically includes structural alterations, premium stone benchtops, and bespoke shaker-style joinery that suits the sophisticated Highlands aesthetic.

Can you work within the Old Bowral Conservation Area?

Yes. We have extensive experience working with Wingecarribee Council's heritage guidelines. Whether your home is in the Old Bowral precinct or Burradoo, we manage the Development Application (DA) process to ensure your extension respects heritage overlays while delivering modern comfort.

Do you build alfresco areas for the Bowral climate?

Absolutely. We design outdoor living spaces specifically for the Highlands climate. This includes insulated pergolas, integrated heating, and timber decking that seamlessly connects your indoor living to the garden, allowing you to entertain comfortably year-round despite the crisp winters.

What areas do you service around Bowral?

We are locally based and service the entire Bowral district, including Bowral town centre, Burradoo, East Bowral, and Retford Park. We also extend our services to nearby villages like Mittagong, Berrima, and Kangaloon.

Do you handle second-storey additions?

Yes. With land value at a premium in Bowral, second-storey additions are a popular way to add space. We specialise in structural framing and complex roof extensions, ensuring the new level blends architecturally with your existing home rather than looking like a "box on top."

What is involved in a bathroom renovation?

Our Bowral bathroom renovations are comprehensive. We manage everything from demolition and waterproofing to tiling and plumbing fit-off. We often incorporate luxury features like freestanding baths, heated towel rails, and underfloor heating to create a true sanctuary.

How long does a renovation take?

Timelines vary by scope. A standard bathroom renovation takes 3-4 weeks, while a large-scale extension or whole-home renovation in Bowral can take 3-6 months. We provide a detailed Gantt chart schedule before we start so you know exactly what to expect.

Are you insured and licensed?

Yes, Hessie Homes is fully licensed (Lic No: 375780C) and carries all necessary Home Building Compensation Fund (HBCF) insurance for projects over $20,000. This protects your investment and ensures your Bowral renovation meets all Australian Building Standards.

Can you match existing period features?

Matching period details is our specialty. We source heritage skirting boards, architraves, and cornices to match your existing 1920s or Federation home. For flooring, we can source recycled hardwoods to seamlessly blend new extensions with original floorboards.

What heating options do you recommend?

For Bowral homes, thermal efficiency is key. We recommend upgrading wall and ceiling insulation during any renovation. We can also prepare floors for hydronic heating or install double-glazed windows, which significantly improve comfort and reduce energy bills during winter.

Do you offer design services?

We work closely with leading local architects and draftsmen. Whether you have plans ready or just an idea, we can guide you through the design phase to ensure your layout is practical, structurally sound, and makes the most of your Bowral property's natural light.

Can you renovate a modern brick home?

Yes. Many homes in East Bowral built in the 90s have great "bones" but dated interiors. We specialise in modernising these homes by removing internal walls to create open-plan living, rendering exterior brickwork, and updating kitchens for a contemporary look.

Do you build custom carports and garages?

Yes, we build custom timber carports and garages designed to match your main residence. Whether you need protection for vehicles from the frost or extra storage for garden tools, we handle the design, concrete slab, and construction.

How do we start the quote process?

Simply complete our online enquiry form. We will arrange a site consultation at your Bowral property to discuss your vision, assess the site conditions, and provide a detailed estimate for your project.

What makes a 'luxury' kitchen?

In Bowral, luxury kitchens often feature expansive stone islands, butler's pantries, and integrated appliances. We focus on high-end joinery hardware (like Blum soft-close), custom lighting plans, and premium finishes that make the kitchen the true centrepiece of the home.

Can I live in the house during construction?

For external works like decks or small renovations, yes. However, for major extensions or renovations involving roof removal or power disconnection, we often recommend finding short-term accommodation in town to ensure your safety and allow our team to work efficiently.
