Renovation Design Central Coast

Our team utilises innovative 3D renovation design software so that we can provide high-resolution 3D images and walkthroughs of your renovated home long before construction has even begun. This allows us to present the proposed designs and implement your feedback on the go, ensuring we can deliver the design you envisioned for your home.

• How much does renovation design on the Central Coast cost?
  
  There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. It all depends on the size and scope of the renovation project. Get in touch with our team for an obligation-free quote and consultation.
  
  
• What is included in a renovation design?
  
  Our service includes a site inspection and measurement, building design plans, and if required, we can assist with the Development Application lodgement and approval from the local Council. We can also assist with Construction Certificates for the renovation project to be legally built. We engage all external consultants required for the project, like the surveyor, certifier, and engineer, and can also refer you to local builders or carpenters.
  
  
• How long does a renovation take?
  
  Again, it depends on the scale and scope of the project and the number of revisions required.
  
  
• Can you renovate heritage buildings?
  
  Yes! We take a careful approach with heritage renovation designs on the Central Coast, ensuring we maintain the historical and cultural value of the property. During the design process, we will discuss the logistics of the renovation with you and ensure we receive approval from the local council to make the changes you desire.
  
  
• What kind of renovations can you complete?
  
  We can complete all kinds of renovations — kitchen renovations, bathroom renovations, removing unwanted walls, additional storeys, and more. All of this will be delivered with personalised service and clear communication around pricing and the design/approvals process.
  
  
• Do I need council approval for internal renovations on the Central Coast?
  
  Projects that need council approval vary between councils, so we recommend checking with your local council before starting any renovations. At Sorensen Design, we take care of all approvals on your behalf, so if we run into any problems, we will be sure to communicate these with you and provide alternatives.
  
  Generally speaking, internal renovations don’t need council approval unless they involve structural changes. Most external renovations and building work will require council approval.
  
  
• Can you renovate a strata property?
  
  We can renovate strata properties, but only if you have approval from the Owners Corporation and the renovations comply with the by-laws applicable to the scheme. We strongly recommend broaching the subject with the Owners Corporation and allowing the committee to vote before committing to any kind of renovation.
  
  
• What is a minor vs major renovation?
  
  A minor renovation is when you keep the structure as it is but update the interior design/colour scheme/final look. Think of a minor renovation as refreshing and rejuvenating certain rooms in your home. A major renovation involves much more significant changes, like relocating walls, adding an addition, or completely redesigning your bathroom or kitchen from scratch.
