RENOWNED BUNDANOON BUILDERS & CARPENTERS

Building in the Garden Village: Heritage, Renovations & Extensions

Renovating in Bundanoon requires a builder who understands the "Garden Village" character. Whether it's updating a federation classic near Erith Street or extending a 1980s brick home for better thermal efficiency, we deliver high-quality craftsmanship that respects the local environment.

How much does a renovation cost in Bundanoon?

Renovation costs in Bundanoon are comparable to the wider Highlands, generally starting from $22,000 for standard room updates and exceeding $45,000 for extensive custom work. We factor in local logistics for material delivery to the village, ensuring accurate fixed-price quotes for your project.

Can you work with Heritage Listed properties?

Yes. Bundanoon has a rich history with many properties protected by the Wingecarribee Heritage conservation controls. We have extensive experience restoring period homes, sourcing matching timber profiles, and navigating Development Applications (DA) to ensure your renovation blends modern comfort with historical charm.

Do I need council approval for a deck or pergola?

Many minor outdoor structures can be built as "Exempt Development" if they meet specific size and setback criteria. However, given Bundanoon's bushfire prone land mapping, specific materials (like non-combustible hardwoods or steel) may be required. We assess your property against local regulations to determine the correct approval path.

What areas do you service near Bundanoon?

We are locals servicing the entire southern villages region. Our primary service areas include Bundanoon, Exeter, Sutton Forest, Penrose, and Wingello. We also cover the major townships of Moss Vale and Bowral.

Do you manage the entire build?

Yes. Hessie Homes is a fully licensed building company, not just a carpentry gang. We manage the entire project from concept to completion, coordinating all trades including plumbing, electrical, and roofing to ensure your renovation runs smoothly and on schedule.

Custom joinery vs. store-bought: What is better?

For Bundanoon homes, especially older cottages with uneven walls or unique layouts, custom joinery is superior. It maximises storage space and allows for bespoke finishes like shaker-style doors that suit the village aesthetic, whereas store-bought flat-packs often require unsightly filler panels.

What materials suit the Bundanoon climate?

Given the cooler winters and misty conditions, we recommend:

Double Glazing: Essential for thermal efficiency in the Highlands.
Engineered Timber or Hardwood: Adds warmth and character.
Composite Decking: Low maintenance and rot-resistant, perfect for damp garden settings.

How do payments work?

We operate on a transparent progress payment schedule. This typically involves a deposit to secure your start date, followed by staged payments upon completion of key milestones (e.g., demolition, rough-in, fit-out).

Can you renovate a brick 1980s home?

Absolutely. Bundanoon has many sturdy brick homes from the 80s and 90s that are structurally sound but visually dated. We specialise in modernising these homes by opening up living spaces, rendering external brickwork, and installing contemporary kitchens and bathrooms to increase value and liveability.

Do I need to move out during the renovation?

For minor cosmetic updates, you can often stay. However, for major structural alterations or full bathroom/kitchen overhauls where water and power are disconnected, we recommend temporary relocation. We can work with you to stage the renovation to minimise disruption if you choose to stay.

How do I make my home warmer?

Thermal comfort is a priority in Bundanoon. We focus on sealing drafts, upgrading insulation in walls and ceilings during the build, and installing high-quality windows. We can also prepare your flooring for underfloor heating systems during the renovation phase.

Can you build a granny flat or studio?

Yes. With many Bundanoon properties on larger blocks, adding a secondary dwelling or garden studio is a popular choice for guests or rental income. We handle the design and approval process to ensure it complies with local council setbacks and design guidelines.

Who handles the rubbish removal?

We take care of all site waste. Our team organises skip bins and ensures responsible disposal of old materials. We keep the site clean and safe throughout the build, respecting your property and your neighbours in the quiet village environment.

Can I supply my own fixtures?

Yes, if you have found the perfect vintage vanity or tapware, we are happy to install it. However, we recommend consulting with us first to ensure your chosen items are compatible with Australian plumbing standards and fit the specified rough-in dimensions.

What is the kitchen 'work triangle'?

The 'work triangle' is a design principle connecting your cooktop, sink, and fridge. In a custom Bundanoon kitchen, optimizing this flow is crucial, especially when incorporating large island benches or butler's pantries often found in country-style homes.

What happens after I accept the quote?

Once you accept the quote, we move to the Hessie Homes Process. We schedule a final site measure, sign the contracts, assist with finish selections, and lock in a start date to begin transforming your home.
