Inner West Bathroom Renovations

An architect provides a holistic view, assessing whether the bathroom is in the right location and how it fits into your home’s overall design. Unlike standard renovators, we help you create a master plan to avoid future issues, like relocating a bathroom that may constrain later designs.

We focus on understanding your long-term needs to ensure the renovation aligns with your vision, avoiding unnecessary complications.

As a full-fledged construction business with licensed builders, we take a comprehensive approach. We consider the entire structure—what's above and below—rather than just focusing on the bathroom. This holistic perspective ensures a more cohesive renovation.

We ensure the renovation not only complements the house’s architecture but also meets your specific needs. If you're renovating to sell, it’s crucial that the design appeals to potential buyers.

Absolutely! We don’t lock you into anything. You can take our design to get quotes or work with a builder you trust. We collaborate with other builders and designers, helping with compliance and billing. You own the design, and we're happy to support you regardless of who builds it.

In our consultation, we meet with you to discuss your needs and the bigger vision for your bathroom. We’ll assess your space, answer your questions, and then provide two sketches—either two floor plan options or a detailed sketch of the bathroom. This gives you clear choices to consider.

It typically takes four to six weeks, depending on the prep work involved. If we’re just removing existing fittings and tiles, we can work within that timeframe. However, if we need to move walls, install windows, or do structural work, it may take longer.

It depends. If the bathroom stays in the same place, it may be exempt from permits. If you're moving it, you can usually go through a complying development process, which doesn’t require council involvement. Typically, as long as we’re not making substantial changes to the building's exterior, it’s straightforward.

Yes, absolutely! We frequently work in heritage conservation areas and on heritage-listed homes.

Unexpected issues often arise in older buildings, usually related to the condition of the fabric. We promptly address these problems without typically impacting the timeline, and we also include a contingency in the budget to cover any necessary adjustments.

We start by carefully specifying all materials and fittings, creating a detailed budget with accurate pricing. Additionally, we maintain a contingency fund for any necessary rectifications.

It depends on your budget. We recommend premium materials for waterproofing, framing, tiles, and fittings. However, quality finishes are crucial; it’s better to use simpler, cost-effective materials that are well-finished by skilled tradespeople than to use expensive stone that’s poorly done.

The best way is to schedule a design consultation. You can find a booking link for that on this page. We also offer a 20-minute Zoom call for any questions. For specific enquiries, feel free to email us at info@ballastpoint.com.au
