We create a plan that’s right for you - Our Renovation Process
While exciting, a home renovation can be daunting without an experienced team guiding you. At Doncaster & Templestowe Carpentry and Building Services, we simplified our system to make your home renovation in Melbourne as stress-free and smooth as possible. We take care of every detail—from the first consultation to the final handover—ensuring quality workmanship, clear communication, and a stress-free experience.
We start with a deep dive into your renovation scope, budget and time frame. We will listen carefully to better understand your vision and evaluate the work to that vision. Whether you need any Victorian council approvals based on your renovation plans, so you’re compliant with all local building regulations right from the start.
Once we know your needs, we will create a custom design and layout for you to suit your needs and offer design solutions based on your living style. We give cost estimates, suggest good quality materials, and guide the functionality and aesthetics. Before you commence on renovations, if council permits or council approvals are required for your renovation, we take care of the paperwork and ensure your site is meeting the requirements outlined in respective Victorian building codes.
We create a detailed timeline that lays out every phase of the renovation, so you know exactly what to expect when. We’ll also talk about how to minimize disruptions and maintain a comfortable environment if you’re going to live in the home during construction.
After receiving all approvals while finalizing the plans, it’s time for our master builders to start site preparation. This could include demolition of existing structures, removal of outdated fixtures, and cleaning and sanitizing work spaces. We follow rigorous safety procedures and organize the site to avoid unnecessary wasting during this phase.
Having laid the ground work, we begin the installation of walls, flooring, cabinetry, lighting, and fixtures. We take great care to ensure that every aspect of your approved design is built to the utmost precision, durability, and quality of finishes by our expert carpenters and tradespeople. As the ultimate responsible, Project Managers manage everything to guarantee the entire work is completed on time and properly done.
We do a final check before the end of the renovations, assuring that all is in place to our very strict quality standards and your expectations. If your project is subject to Victorian council permits, we coordinate any compliance checks and approvals required to ensure that all work complies with the local regulations.
When we are sure that every element is in place, we clean the site, remove debris, and perform the final touches. The result will be a newly renovated space that is available in you to use without the stress of post-construction cleanup.

Frequently Asked Questions
We specialize in house renovations primarily in Doncaster, Templestowe, and the surrounding suburbs of Melbourne. However, we also undertake select projects across other Melbourne regions, depending on availability and project scope.
The duration varies based on factors such as the size of the property, the extent of the renovations, and any structural changes needed. Small-scale renovations (like a kitchen remodel or bathroom renovation) can take a few weeks, while full-home transformations or extensions may span several months. We provide a detailed timeline during our initial consultation to help you plan accordingly.
Certain projects, especially those involving structural modifications or extensions, require permits from local councils in Melbourne. At Doncaster & Templestowe Carpentry and Building Services, we handle the entire process, including permit applications and council approvals, ensuring your renovation remains compliant with local building regulations.
Start by determining your priorities—focus on what matters most, whether it’s upgrading kitchens and bathrooms, adding more living space, or improving outdoor areas. We’ll provide a transparent quote that accounts for materials, labor, and any unforeseen costs. Setting aside a contingency fund (around 10–15% of your budget) is a wise strategy to cover unexpected expenses.
While ROI can vary, kitchen renovations, bathroom upgrades, and well-designed home extensions typically yield strong returns. Improving outdoor living spaces (such as timber decks or alfresco areas) can also attract buyers and boost property value, given Melbourne’s lifestyle-driven real estate market.
