Full Home Renovations
Done right, from day one.
Major renovations and extensions across Melbourne's eastern suburbs. High-end finishes, experienced trades, and a team that communicates at every step.
Our core strength
Renovations are what we do most — and where the portfolio depth lives.
Most Demardi projects are major renovations and extensions. We've done heritage homes in Canterbury, full transformations in Hawthorn, structural extensions in Templestowe — and we know how to manage the moving parts that make these projects complex.
Structural Extensions
Adding the space your home should always have had — without losing the soul of what's there.
Full House Renovations
Reworking the entire footprint, top to bottom, with a clear vision from day one.
Heritage Renovations
Sensitive renovations of period homes — preserving character, modernising for the way you live now.
Open-Plan Transformations
Opening up tight, dated layouts into beautifully connected living spaces.
The process
From design through to the day we hand back your keys.
- 1. Design — Brief, concept, documentation. Matched with the right designer.
- 2. Council Approvals — Planning and building permits managed end-to-end.

Frequently asked
The questions homeowners ask us most.
How long does a full home renovation take in Melbourne?
+
Most full home renovations run 9–14 months on site after design and approvals are complete. Heritage homes and structural extensions sit at the longer end.
Will I be able to live in the house during the renovation?
+
For partial renovations sometimes yes, with clear staging. For full home renovations or structural extensions, almost always no — for safety, dust and program reasons. We help you plan accommodation as part of the program.
What's the typical renovation budget you work with?
+
Most Demardi renovations sit between $500k and $2M+ depending on scope. We're upfront about whether a budget is realistic for the work you're describing before we engage.
Do you do heritage and period home renovations?
+
Yes. We've worked on Victorian, Edwardian and mid-century homes across Melbourne's east. Sensitivity to original detail and the heritage overlay is part of how we approach those projects.
