Full Home Renovations
Carpentry-led renovation works for Melbourne homes. Demolition, internal timber framing, structural carpentry, lock-up, fixing and finishing, with the scope confirmed in writing before work begins.
A home renovation is a serious project, and the difference between a job that runs smoothly and one that drags out is preparation and clear scope. We work carpentry-first, with the structural and carpentry work confirmed and sequenced properly before anything else follows.
The renovation work we genuinely provide
Our work on renovation projects is carpentry-led. That covers demolition and strip-out, internal timber framing, structural carpentry, lock-up, fixing and finishing carpentry, and door installations, along with related works such as plastering where they form part of the agreed scope.
Where we focus
- Renovations to existing homes across Melbourne
- Extensions and additions
- Second-storey additions and structural alterations
- Internal layout changes involving new framed walls
- Doors, windows and cladding works forming part of a renovation scope
Experience behind the work
We have years of experience on Melbourne renovations, extensions and new residential builds, working alongside builders and homeowners. That experience shows up in the small things: square framing, neat fixing, doors that close properly and a clean site.

Inclusions, exclusions and responsibilities
Every renovation is different, so we do not publish a fixed inclusion or exclusion list. The exact scope is confirmed for each project before work begins.
Before work starts we confirm in writing what is included in our scope, what plans and engineering documentation are in place, what permits and approvals are required and who is arranging them, which selections you need to confirm and when, and which other trades are involved and who is responsible for them.
Master Framers Build operates as a carpentry and renovation contractor and holds public liability insurance, with a certificate of currency available on request. Structural building work requiring registration is carried out under the registered builder engaged for the project.
What drives the cost
Every project is priced on its own scope. These are the factors that make the biggest difference.
- How much structural work is involved, such as new framing, removing walls or supporting existing structure
- The size of the renovation and the number of rooms or areas affected
- Site access and existing conditions, which affect how the work is staged
- Whether the home stays occupied while the work runs
- The standard of finishes and the selections made
- Material and product lead times

Full Home Renovations - your questions
+What information should I provide with my enquiry?
The more detail you can send, the more useful our response will be. Helpful items include your suburb, the type of property, a short description of the work you are planning, any architectural or engineering plans you already have, photos of the areas involved, and your timing. If you do not have plans yet, that is fine - a description and photos are enough to start the conversation.
+Can you work from architectural and engineering plans?
Yes. We regularly work from architectural drawings and engineering documentation, and we can review what you have before quoting so the scope and the drawings match.
+Who is responsible for structural work and supervision?
Master Framers Build operates as a carpentry and renovation contractor and holds public liability insurance, with a certificate of currency available on request. Structural building work requiring registration is carried out under the registered builder engaged for the project.
+Can the home remain occupied during renovation work?
It depends on the scope and how the work is staged. Some renovations can be staged so parts of the home stay usable, while work involving major structural changes or key rooms usually makes living on site difficult. We will discuss what is realistic for your project before work begins.
+How are changes to the agreed scope handled?
The scope is confirmed in writing before work starts. If something needs to change once work is underway, we discuss it with you, confirm what is involved and agree the change before proceeding, so there are no surprises.
