Start with the kind of Footscray property you have.

Prepare the work area for the dwelling type.

We plan the carrying route for the Footscray dwelling being renovated. A suitable side route can bring materials to a house rear kitchen while keeping retained rooms clear. In a unit or apartment, we account for the common entries, stairs and shared services that affect delivery and installation.

We establish the authorised route, work zone and retained surfaces before removal begins. Floors, door edges and shared surfaces along that route receive the agreed protection. Where the dwelling adjoins another occupancy, the building's access and work arrangements are incorporated into the sequence rather than borrowed from a detached-house project.

Taking out cabinets and floor finishes is different from changing a wall or building structure. Any wider alteration requires the relevant assessment before the room is opened up for that purpose.

Renew the kitchen and adjoining interior as one fit-out.

The kitchen is measured for appliance spaces, usable storage and the route to the living area. Once the included fit-out is removed, we assess the exposed walls and floor and complete suitable preparation before installing the replacement cabinets, benchtop and wall finishes. Existing service connections are retained or altered as specifically agreed, with regulated work assigned to the appropriate licensed trades.

The work does not end at the cabinet fronts. A changed cabinet position can expose old floor patches or unfinished plaster. We complete the included wall repairs and establish where new flooring meets the retained room, then finish visible panels, plinths and paint boundaries.

Cabinet doors and drawers are adjusted against the fitted appliances and room clearances. This final operation check is particularly useful in a compact interior, where an open dishwasher or drawer can affect the main route even though every item fits its own opening.

Give the exterior a scope suited to the building edge.

For a house, exterior renewal may include agreed entry, wall and rear-opening finishes. We assess the existing surface before preparation and coating, and consider the threshold with the adjoining indoor floor. Loose coatings and unsuitable backgrounds are addressed before the selected finish is applied.

For an apartment or unit, external glazing, balcony surfaces and building-wide components may sit outside the private interior scope. Those boundaries are established before removal or replacement. A stain at the building edge is investigated as a condition issue when needed, rather than hidden under a new decorative layer.

At completion, the review covers the included interior and exterior junctions, cabinetry operation and the retained access route.
