That's a very common and understandable concern! We know how important it is to maintain a sense of normalcy during renovations. At Arbor Building, we prioritise minimising disruption.

Our goal is to make the process as smooth and comfortable as possible for you and your family. We're here to work with you.

That's a crucial question, and it's one we take very seriously. Before we even begin planning applications, we'll bring in certified structural engineers to thoroughly assess your home's foundation and framing. They'll provide a detailed report, and if any reinforcements are needed, we'll discuss them with you transparently. We'll only proceed once we're confident that your home can safely and securely accommodate the addition. You can trust us to prioritise safety and quality above all else.

Budget is a top priority for most homeowners. We understand that. We'll start by providing you with an estimate that covers all costs involved, from materials and labor to permits and inspections. This gives you a great ball park to be working from.

If you are then happy to proceed, We'll then work with you to explore various material and design options to fit your budget. This allows us to provide you a fixed cost for your project.

Throughout the project, we'll provide regular updates on progress, and we'll never proceed with any significant changes without your approval. We're committed to helping you achieve your dream home without breaking the bank. We are always open and honest about cost.

This is where the fun begins! We believe your home should reflect your unique style and needs. We'll work with you to understand your vision and provide expert guidance on design and layout.
