Bathroom renovations in Officer.

Builder-grade upgrades.

New estate homes across Arena, Timbertop and the surrounding Officer releases usually come with the most basic bathroom the builder could spec — a plain vanity, a framed screen, builder-standard tiles and entry-level tapware. Upgrading that to a modern fit-out is our most common Officer job: a new wall-hung vanity, frameless screen, floor-to-ceiling tiling and quality tapware, with the waterproofing checked and re-done to AS 3740 where the original is not up to standard.

Second bathrooms for growing families.

Officer is full of young families, and a single bathroom stops working once the kids arrive. Second-bathroom and ensuite additions are a big part of our work here. Where that means new plumbing runs or a moved wall we handle the rough-in, the AS 3740 waterproofing and the certificates, build any structural change to the NCC Volume 2, and lodge the Cardinia Shire building permit needed to create a new wet area.

A growth corridor that keeps building.

The Pakenham and Officer corridor is adding roughly 255 new dwellings a year, with Pakenham East alone planned for 7,000-plus homes. That steady stream of new estate homes keeps a constant flow of builder-grade upgrades and second-bathroom additions coming — and a worked example, an Officer builder-grade main bathroom upgraded with a re-waterproof, floor-to-ceiling tiling, frameless screen, wall-hung vanity and back-to-wall toilet, comes in around $22,000.
