Architects For Renovations and Extensions

Brisbane's Trusted Renovation Architects Dedicated to great design

Renovations Architect

Renovations and extensions are often done together but can also be done individually.

Ashcroft Architects helps bring property renovations in Brisbane to life by assessing your current building and helping you unlock the possibilities.

Popular types of renovation works include:

Bathroom renovations
Kitchen renovations
Character home renovations
Internal wall removals

Extensions Architect

Extensions are the perfect way to utilise unused side yards or excessive rear land.

Extensions can often include removing walls to maximise an already existing room, or creating new additional rooms.

Types of home extensions to explore include:

Rear extensions
Side return extensions
Second-storey additions

Will I need council approval for a renovation or extension?

Depending on the specific plans, you will most likely need to get council approval before work commences.

For example, if you plan to extend more than 8.5 metres high, you will need council siting relaxations or development approval in most regions in Queensland.

Other renovation and extension particulars that require council approval or another form of Government approval, can be arranged and coordinated by Ashcroft Architects.

Our Redlands architects are intimately familiar with building laws as well as regulations and permits of local council regions and can help you comply with every standard in your plan for regions across Brisbane and the surrounds, including:

Our extension and renovation process

Every home is different, and while no two projects are the same, they each follow a similar journey

Here’s a snapshot of what you can expect when you work with our architects in Brisbane for an upcoming extension or renovation project.

Step 1: First consultation and preliminary costs

We meet with you to discuss what you want to achieve and how you can work with our renovation and extension architects.

Do you want more floor space or room for a growing family?

Do you want to improve natural lighting? Explore the options of adding a second storey to your home? Or perhaps extend your kitchen and living space? With Ashcroft Architects, you might come to realise we can offer you even more than you thought was possible!

Honest costing and transparent pricing enables us to deliver better value at a truly competitive price, while extensive experience and intricate knowledge means we can provide options based on the best possible outcome for your budget, your family, and your home.

Step 2: Assess your current home and lifestyle

We offer due diligence by visiting your property and determining how your goals align with the current structure and layout of your home. We explore all possible avenues, providing the most cost-effective, practical, and comfortable designs.

We look beyond the “now”, assessing both your current and future lifestyle needs. Are you looking at starting a family? Or do you currently have young children who will need their own space in a few years’ time? Are you thinking about improving your home in order to boost its resale value?

Ashcroft Architects assesses the quality of your internal walls, ceilings, and floors so that we can work with your original infrastructure as much as possible to minimise cost and time required.

Our Bayside architects can also connect you to our network for additional services such as surveyors, town planners, private certifiers, structural engineers, etc.

Step 3: Design solutions

Now that we’ve met with the client and seen their current property, we go away and do what we do best!

We design two-dimensional floor plans and an interactive, digital 3D model of the proposed renovations against the original design.

We also include an expected timeline of the building process, as we work closely with your builder or construction manager to ensure that we create a realistic schedule that can be met.

This design not only fulfils your current needs, but also takes into account future goals and your family’s evolution.

Step 4: Watch your dreams come to life!

The building process is almost ready to begin!

We take into account your feedback and our expertise, and once designs are finalised and approved, we get to work ensuring all relevant approvals are obtained and building regulations are met.

Next, your approved designs are passed along to your builders, who work their magic to bring our vision to life. Our office is with you and your builder along the way with regular site inspections and advice during the construction process.

Testimonials

"We came to Brad with nothing more than some pinterest pictures and some rough ideas of what we wanted for our new home. What he presented to us was perfect. We are so thankful that we engaged Brad to design our home. He took the time to listen and always had a suggestion for our questions. The whole process was simple, and the easy communication ensured that we always knew what was going on. We have no hesitations in recommending Brad to anyone looking for an architecturally designed home."

"Bradley Ashcroft and his team have been designing homes and townhouses for our clients for over 15 years. We find not only is Bradley very approachable and personable with both us and our clients but understands how to design and build to a specific budget. This not only saves a lot of time in the design process, it also saves a lot of heartache for clients from alternate processes where too often builder pricing does not meet with design brief specified outcomes. When builder and designer work together good outcomes are achieved and Grow DDC P/L would recommend Bradley and his team to anyone looking for these types of outcomes in their projects."

"Brad was very professional through all stages. He listened to our ideas and input and delivered something that we love to call home."

"We have engaged Ashcroft Architects on two residential projects; one for a new house and the other for an extensive renovation. Brad is very professional and listened to all of our ideas and incorporated them into his designs. His knowledge in design/architecture and construction is very valuable and we highly recommend Ashcroft Architects."

"I have worked with Ashcroft Architects for over a decade and have found Bradley Ashcroft to be a very talented and creative architect. Brad and the team at Ashcroft architects consistently provide excellent documentation that clearly describes the project in detail and allows construction to proceed unhindered and in a timely manner.
As a structural engineer it is a pleasure to work alongside an architect that appreciates the structural implications of their vision and works to accommodate solutions within the documentation produced."
