1. Connect the cabin to the main building of the home to increase the space in the living room 2. Change the roof and with that break the middle wall separating the lounge and kitchen 3. move the kitchen to back of the wall so it faces the living room in an open plan style 4. Rework the roof configuration to express an A-frame look, with a window to let light in at the apex 5. Extend the roof over the patio to bring that area in as a living space 6. A part glass enclosure facing the pool 7. Extension of the main bedroom- a space in front and behind might provide added living space in the master suite below if budget allows 8. Wood cladding aesthetic on the walls to give a modern barn style look 9.

I have an old house that needs a face lift. It’s a 3 bedroom house. I need a quote on removing a wall between the kitchen and lounge to create an open plan space. I also need a quote on removing a wall between the toilet room and bathroom to create a one bathroom. We’d like to change the floors from carpet to vinyl throughout the house and update the popcorn walls to flat walls. Some of the walls have cracks in them and I’m not sure if they can just be plastered. We’d also like to update the bathroom and kitchen by adding new cabinets, basins, etc. Basically a full renovation. We are simply looking for quotes at this stage as we’d like to know how much we need before we can begin with the renovations
