Built from the Ground Up

This week we completed a 5.7 metre long access ramp with a 1.3 m × 1.2 m landing, purpose-built for a farmhouse to provide safe and practical access to the rear of the property.
Constructed from H3 and H4 treated structural pine, the ramp was designed for strength, durability and year-round outdoor use.
The project included:
✔️ Concrete footings
✔️ Structural timber framing
✔️ 5.7 m access ramp
✔️ 1.3 × 1.2 m landing
✔️ Handrails for added safety
✔️ Treated pine construction throughout
Swipe through the photos to see the project from the first footings through to the completed ramp.
Thank you to our client for trusting us with the job and the help from there son —we hope it provides many years of safe and reliable access.

🚿 Bathroom Upgrade Complete!
Out with the old and in with the new.
This project involved removing an outdated two-piece sliding shower screen and replacing it with a modern single fixed panel and hinged glass door system.
The upgrade has completely transformed the space, creating a cleaner, more open look while improving accessibility and ease of use. The black hardware provides a modern finish that contrasts nicely with the existing timber interior.
Works completed:
✔ Removal and disposal of existing sliding shower screen
✔ Preparation and clean-up of shower enclosure
✔ Installation of new fixed glass panel
✔ Installation and adjustment of hinged glass door
✔ Sealing and final fit-off
A simple change that makes a big difference to both the appearance and functionality of the bathroom.

Not every window repair starts with the full story.

This bay window looked tired from the outside, with cracked paint and signs of water damage. But once we began opening it up, the true extent of the problem revealed itself.

Years of moisture ingress had quietly destroyed the timber frame from the inside out. Window sills had rotted away, structural framing had deteriorated, and in some areas there was little more than paint holding the shape together. What appeared to be a simple repair quickly became a full reconstruction.
Every damaged section was carefully removed, the cause of the water ingress addressed, and new structural timber framing installed. The bay window was rebuilt piece by piece, preserving the original character of the home while ensuring it was stronger, weatherproof and built to last for decades to come.

One of the most rewarding aspects of this project was being able to salvage and retain the original timber sash windows. Despite the severe deterioration surrounding them, the sashes themselves were carefully removed, restored and incorporated back into the rebuilt structure.
Preserving these original features maintained the character and authenticity of the home while avoiding unnecessary replacement of quality period joinery.
The transformation wasn't just cosmetic. Behind the finished paintwork sits an entirely renewed structure, new framing, repaired linings, restored window surrounds and a bay window that is once again a feature of the home rather than a future problem.

Framing and weather boards repairs.

This job required repairs to framing because the wall had drifted out at the base between 50mm and 60 mm creating a visible bow in the wall and compromising the structure with nothing attaching the bottom wall plate to the concrete it was just free to move with asimple closing of the door .

The door jamb was also rotted out at the base so had broke away from the door sill allowing it to rock and brake free of attachment .
I built a new door jamb from scratch using a 135x35 mm hardwood .

The wall required straightening and then reattachment to the concrete .

Once the wall was all straightened and plum the weather boards were replaced and the new door jamb and door was fitted .

End result was a solid safe and secure entry to garage.

Custom 3m x 1.7m aluminium gate

This was a fun project too take on, working with a client to accomplish the entry gate they envisioned for the space.

Through multiple submitted digital drawings this was the end result a sturdy Aluminium gate that mixed modern and traditionally together.

This gate was hand Tig welded for max durability and weighed in at 35kg appon completion .
When I hung the gate it didn’t even need the wheel which was fitted to the end due to weight even though it’s made from 3mm thick aluminium.
The gate catch was also a custom build giving the entire gate a extra unique touch .
