Extensions & Renovations

Do you live in an old Queenslander or Colonial Style home which your family has outgrown?

If you have an old home which you have either just bought or lived in for years, you may have realised that today's modern living requires larger more open plan spaces.
 
Today we want light airy open homes and all the comforts that the home owners of 80 years ago could not have even imagined.
 
Kitchens are no longer hot dark boxes tucked on the back of a house, far away from the rest of the family activity.
 
Back decks and verandahs have been immensely popular for over 20 years, yet some of these old homes still have no outdoor recreation space that connects to the living areas of the house.
 
Maybe you have a bathroom which is actually still outside the house or opens right off the kitchen?
 
Are your children growing up faster than you imagined and you need some extra space for them, so you can get some civilised quiet rest area of your own where you can have some adult conversation?
 
Or ladies, perhaps your husband has never grown up! Does he have dreams of a Home Theatre, Billiards Room or "Sporting Hall of Fame" where he can disappear with his mates and watch the football or cricket and brag about fishing stories and such.
 
If this sounds a bit like your life, contact Colonial Concepts to find out what options are possible to improve your lifetsyle in the house you already have!

If you need a builder to price your project we have designed, we can give you some names.
