Character retained, while the home is brought forward
Renovating an older home is about improving how it works without stripping away what makes it distinctive. Amuri Building Specialists undertakes everything from kitchens and bathrooms to extensions, whole-home renovations and character property restoration.
One of the team’s standout projects was St Helens, a late-1800s building in Hanmer Springs where the roof and floors were removed as part of a major restoration and alteration project. That experience reflects the type of challenging renovation work Amuri is comfortable taking on.

Character renovations matched to the original house
In character home and villa renovations, new work only sits comfortably beside old when it is measured. Weatherboard profiles, window proportions, roof pitch, eaves depth and internal mouldings are all taken from the existing house, and sound original materials are reused wherever still serviceable.
Whatever appears behind the linings is treated the same way. Borer, rotten bottom plates and failed weathertightness details are common in a 120-year-old building, and anything uncovered is priced and agreed with you first.
Holding restoration, renovation and alteration under one contract leaves no gap where one part waits on another.

Remodelling from one room to whole house
Our work runs from converting a spare bedroom into a bathroom or laundry, through kitchens and bathrooms, to extensions altering the roofline or footprint, and whole-house renovations. Reworking an awkward floor plan is exactly the job we take on willingly.
We coordinate every trade needed, including electricians, plumbers, plasterers, tilers, painters and roofers, from a local network built over more than 20 years. Our subcontractors are paid promptly, because the hard part of a renovation isn't starting it, it's getting the trades back to finish it.
We renovate motels, apartments, shops and fit-outs on the same basis, as part of our commercial construction work.

Renovations programmed around guests, tenants and holiday bookings
Many houses in the village are holiday homes or rentals, so a fortnight's delay costs booking income, not merely convenience. Start and finish dates are set around your tenancy and booking calendar, making it easier to time movers, guests and landscapers.
Materials are projected six to eight weeks ahead and ordered early, because specified products can stretch to long lead times without warning. Alpine weather is less predictable, so any delays are relayed to you as they arise.
Professional cleaners can also be brought in where needed so the site is left in good order as the work progresses.

Site visits, free quotes and local building knowledge
Pricing starts on the ground, because what sits behind the linings determines the real scope. A site visit comes first, and quotes, handwritten by the owner before the office processes them, are free.
