Thinking about a luxury home renovation, second storey, or home extension? For many Perth families, the decision to renovate goes far beyond aesthetics—it’s a thoughtful investment in lifestyle, comfort, and long-term value. Whether it’s a second storey addition or a complete transformation, understanding what to expect during the renovation process can make all the difference.
At Addstyle Master Builders, we’ve spent more than 35 years refining a renovation process that is as considered as it is comprehensive. As WA’s most awarded home renovation and extension company, we offer a boutique, end-to-end service that guides you from the first idea through to the finishing touches. Here’s how that journey unfolds.
1. The Initial In-Home Consultation
Every Addstyle renovation begins with a complimentary consultation in your home. This is more than a site visit—it’s a conversation. We take the time to understand how you live, what’s working (and what’s not), and what you hope to achieve from your renovation.
Whether you’re looking to expand your home for a growing family, modernise a character property, or reconfigure a tired layout into something truly functional, we bring deep experience and thoughtful insight to the table.
This is also the point where we begin aligning your vision with a realistic investment framework. Rather than talking in terms of “budgets,” we focus on setting cost expectations early and clearly. Our aim is to ensure that every design decision made from here on is grounded in clarity.
2. Concept Design & Architectural Planning
With the brief established, your concept moves into the hands of our in-house architectural design team. Unlike many builders who outsource this stage, we have a full-team colloaborative approach and design everything under one roof—ensuring architectural integrity, structural feasibility, cost transparency and design cohesion.
Our designers specialise in renovations and extensions, with a deep understanding of how to sensitively integrate new spaces into existing structures. Whether we’re working within the constraints of a heritage home or planning a seamless second storey, each solution is tailored to your site and your lifestyle.
One of the most valuable tools at this stage is the 3D walk-through. These visual representations allow you to explore your future home in detail before construction begins—refining the layout, flow, and spatial proportions with confidence.
3. Interior Design Guidance at Our Claremont Studio
Once your project details have been locked-in, you’ll be invited to a personalised interior design consultation at our Claremont design studio. This is where finishing selections are explored.
Within our curated studio environment, you’ll explore cabinetry profiles, flooring options, tiles, stone, and more—guided by our in-house interior designer who understands both style and practicality. Their role is to simplify the decision-making process, offering expert recommendations that align with your design direction, personal style, and how your family lives.
The result is a cohesive, polished interior that feels authentically yours—crafted with as much attention as the structure itself.
4. Design & Cost Transparency
Throughout the design process, we maintain a strong focus on cost transparency. Our approach is proactive—we keep you informed of where costs are heading and provide clarity around how design decisions impact your overall investment.
We draw on decades of renovation expertise to anticipate and flag potential challenges early. We also provide a thorough specification document, outlining the full scope of work, inclusions and selections, so that you’re never left guessing.
Ultimately, our goal is to make the experience as predictable and informed as possible—giving you the confidence to move forward without hesitation.
5. Approvals & Pre-Construction
Once your design is finalised and the scope is clearly defined, we take care of all necessary approvals. Our team is highly experienced in navigating council processes across Perth’s many local government areas, including heritage zones and character-coded suburbs.
We also manage engineering, certification and all required documentation on your behalf. This means you can transition into the construction phase knowing that every element has been professionally coordinated and approved.
6. Construction by Specialist Renovation Trades
Construction is where the vision becomes reality—but unlike new builds, renovations require a very specific skillset. That’s why we work exclusively with specialist tradespeople who have deep experience in renovation and extension work.
Many of our trades have been with us for years. They understand the intricacies of working in and around occupied homes, and they take care to maintain a clean, respectful site at all times. You’ll also have a dedicated site supervisor who oversees the project and keeps you informed throughout.
Because we don’t build volume homes, we don’t treat your project like one. Every build is meticulously managed to ensure quality, continuity, and craftsmanship from start to finish.
7. Finishing Touches Consultation
A home is not complete until it’s ready to be lived in. That’s why, mid-way through the construction phase, we offer a personalised styling and finishing consultation to bring the final layer of polish to your project.
This service includes advice on furniture placement, window treatments, artwork, and decorative elements—ensuring the finished space feels intentional and refined. Whether you need assistance selecting pieces or simply want a second eye on the styling, we’re here to help you achieve a cohesive and considered final result.
It’s the detail that elevates a renovation from good to exceptional.
8. A Boutique, Full-Service Renovation Experience
At Addstyle, we approach each project with the attention it deserves. We’re not driven by volume or speed—we’re driven by quality, service and outcome. That’s why we limit the number of projects we undertake each year and work closely with each client from start to finish.
From architectural design and council approvals, to interior styling and final handover, we manage every element in-house with precision and care. It’s a service built around trust, tailored expertise, and long-standing relationships—both with our clients and our trades.
We don’t just renovate homes. We reimagine the way people live in them.
