Every project, with the numbers attached.
Not a gallery of pretty rooms. Each build lists what it involved, how long it took, and what changed along the way.
Build story · Balgowlah Heights
Adding a second storey while a family of five stayed put.
“We were told we'd have to move out for six months. Verrindale worked out a staged build so we kept the downstairs bedrooms and one bathroom the whole way through. We never spent a night elsewhere.” The Hartleys — Balgowlah Heights, 2024
-
Weeks 1–3Design and DA lodged
Measured survey, structural engineering and a staged construction plan submitted with the development application.
-
Weeks 4–7Roof off, frame up
Temporary weatherproofing over the ground floor so the family stayed in place. New floor system and frame erected in nine working days.
-
Weeks 8–15Lock-up and fit-out
Roofing, windows, services rough-in, then plaster and joinery. Weekly photo update every Friday afternoon.
-
Week 16Handover
Occupation certificate, a walk-through defect list closed inside five days, and all warranties and manuals handed over in one folder.
How we build
Four stages. No surprises in any of them.
Most renovation horror stories come from the same place — a vague scope and a moving price. Here is exactly how a Verrindale project runs.
Site visit
We walk the house with you, talk through what's realistic on your block, and give an honest ballpark range before anyone pays anything.
Fixed scope
Drawings, engineering and a line-by-line specification down to tap fittings. You approve the scope before you see a contract price.
Build
One named supervisor for the whole job, a published week-by-week schedule, and a photo update every Friday whether you ask or not.
Handover
Defects closed inside two weeks, warranties in one folder, and a free 12-month check-in to catch anything that's settled.
What owners say
Ask them about the hard weeks, not the good ones.
Every builder looks good at handover. These are people who had rain, a heritage overlay and a supply delay mid-build.
“Three quotes came in within $20k of each other. Verrindale's was the only one that itemised what we were actually getting, and it's the only one that didn't move.”Marcus & Jen D.Rear extension · Curl Curl
“We lost eleven days to weather and a joinery delay. They rescheduled around it and still hit the handover date. That's the bit I'd tell people about.”Priya S.Second storey · Manly Vale
“Our place is in a heritage conservation area, which two builders wouldn't touch. Verrindale had done four in the same street and knew exactly what council would wear.”The Okonkwo familyWhole-home renovation · Freshwater
