OUR SERVICE & SOLUTION

Foundations
We excavated the basement and installed a new foundation and concrete floor with concrete block retaining walls.
Structural Changes
We built new walls and structure for the main house and extensions, then added beams and mid floor to support the new upper story.
Bathroom Renovation
Modern bathroom design was added to suit the character of the existing home
Waterproof decks
Waterproof deck area was constructed over lower living areas. Floating decking was used over the membrane to ensure weather tightness.

Client Says

“The end result is fantastic! Haven worked closely with the architect and provided practical solutions to turning the place into a modern and fun house. Given that we lived on site through the whole project, having a team that were fun to have around was a huge advantage! The quality of workmanship throughout was excellent.”
