What We Do

Whether you're looking to modernize a tired kitchen, add a new living space, or completely transform your home, Mason Collins Building delivers renovations and extensions that feel like they've always been part of the house.

We specialise in kitchen and bathroom renovations, living area extensions, second-story additions, and whole-home refurbishments. Every project is managed with care to minimize disruption to your daily life while delivering a result that's built to the same standard as a new build.

From the initial design and council approvals through to final paint and cleanup, we handle every detail. Our local trades know how to work efficiently in occupied homes, and we communicate clearly at every stage so you always know what's happening next.

Why Choose Mason Collins Building

Minimal Disruption: We work around your schedule, keep the site clean, and stage the work to minimize impact on your daily routine.
Quality Trades: Our team includes experienced carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and finishers who take pride in their work.
Clear Staging: We break the project into clear phases and communicate timelines upfront. You'll know when the kitchen will be out of action and when it'll be usable again.
Attention to Detail: Renovations are all about the details — matching existing finishes, ensuring level floors, and making sure new work blends seamlessly with old.
No Surprises: We inspect thoroughly before starting and flag any potential issues (like hidden wiring or structural concerns) early so there are no nasty surprises halfway through.

What to Expect: Timelines & Process

Renovation timelines vary based on scope, but here's what's typical:

Kitchen Renovation: 3–6 weeks (design, demo, new cabinetry, benchtops, appliances, finishes)
Bathroom Renovation: 2–4 weeks (strip-out, waterproofing, tiling, fixtures, painting)
Living Area Extension: 6–12 weeks (foundation, framing, roofing, fit-out)
Whole-Home Refurbishment: 8–16 weeks (depends on scope and staging)

Process: We start with a site visit to understand your vision and assess the existing structure. Once plans are finalized and permits obtained, we'll schedule the work in stages to keep disruption manageable. Regular updates keep you in the loop, and we're always available if questions come up.

Common Questions About Renovations & Extensions

Can we stay in the house during the renovation?

In most cases, yes. We stage the work to minimize disruption and can often keep kitchens and bathrooms partially functional during the reno. We'll discuss your specific situation upfront and find the best approach.

Do I need council approval for a renovation or extension?

It depends on the scope. Minor internal renovations typically don't need approval, but extensions, structural changes, and significant alterations usually do. We'll guide you through the process and handle submissions if needed.

What if you find issues once you start (like rot or old wiring)?

We inspect thoroughly before starting, but sometimes issues are hidden until we open things up. If we find something unexpected, we'll stop, explain the issue, provide options and pricing, and only proceed once you've approved the variation.

How do you manage dust and mess?

We use drop sheets, seal off work areas where possible, and clean up at the end of each day. Demo and dusty work is scheduled strategically to minimize impact, and we remove rubbish regularly.

Can you help with design and material selection?

Absolutely. We can recommend designers if needed, and we'll guide you through material and finish selections based on budget, durability, and style. We want you to love the result.
