The Camberwell whole-home renovation.
A full whole-home renovation for a growing Camberwell family — heritage facade retained, rear extension added, plus a new kitchen and two full bathrooms. The extension was scoped and built as part of the whole-home project, not treated as a separate job, so layout, services and finishes flow through the entire home.

"After years of putting it off, we finally renovated the whole house. George sat down with us and made suggestions that improved the end result. His team were punctual and clean — the workspace was spotless every day."
"Full kitchen and bathroom renovation done with no surprises. They answered all our questions, arrived on time every day, stayed on schedule and did a very neat job. Would gladly work with them again."
Why Melbourne families trust us with their whole home.
Kitchen, bathrooms, layout, services and finishes handled by one coordinated team — no gaps between trades and no design decisions falling through the cracks.
From design and permits through to handover, you deal with one dedicated project manager who coordinates everyone and keeps you updated week by week.
If your renovation needs a rear or upper-level extension, we scope and build it as part of the whole-home project — not a separate job with different tradies and a different contract.
We plan properly up front, so your proposal shows the real number and the real schedule — not a low headline followed by variations six weeks in.
A local family business with two decades of whole-home renovations across Melbourne. This isn't a side hustle — it's what we do, year in, year out.
You'll know who's on site, what's happening this week and what's coming next. No chasing, no ghosting, no surprises at handover.
We'll give you clear, honest advice in your planning consult — even if that means recommending you stage the project or hold off for now.
No pressure, no scare tactics, just straight answers so you can decide with confidence.

How much does a whole-home renovation cost in Melbourne?+
Whole-home renovations range from $80,000 for a cosmetic refresh up to $700,000+ for a premium full renovation that includes extension work. Most mid-range projects land between $180,000 and $320,000 depending on scope, layout changes and finish level. In your free consult we give you an indicative range based on similar Tetris Homes projects.
How long does a whole-home renovation take?+
Most whole-home renovations run 4–9 months from site start to handover, depending on scope. Allow additional time up front for design, selections and permits — we sequence everything so the on-site build stays on schedule.
Do you build extensions?+
Yes — extensions are handled as part of a whole-home renovation scope when the project needs one, not as a standalone service. Rear additions, upper-level additions and layout reconfigurations are all common inclusions on our whole-home projects, delivered by the same team and under the same fixed-price proposal.
Can I live in the house during a whole-home renovation?+
It depends on scope and staging. Some clients stay in part of the home while we work in stages; others move out for the duration. We'll talk through the practical options in your free planning consult so you can plan around family life and budget.
Do you handle permits for structural work and extensions?+
Yes. We manage council planning applications, building permits, engineering, energy ratings and certifier sign-off as part of our service — so you never need to chase paperwork or coordinate consultants yourself.
