Challenges & PB Builds Solutions
Renovating older homes on the Surf Coast often requires smart, thoughtful solutions. Key challenges included:
🛠️Tight, awkward layout – Multiple discussions were held with the clients to perfect the layout without increasing build costs. The final design maximised every centimetre.
🌊 No structural changes – To keep the renovation cost-effective, PB Builds redesigned the space within the original footprint.
💡 Out-of-plumb walls (common in older Surf Coast homes)– PB Builds resolved this by packing walls, adjusting cabinetry, and designing joinery that hides existing imperfections.
🛠️Single-bathroom household – Because this was the clients’ only bathroom, PB Builds provided a temporary toilet to ensure the family could live onsite throughout the renovation.
🛁Design changes during the build – Despite a few layout changes along the way extending the timeline slightly, PB Builds ensured the final design reflected exactly what the clients wanted.
Final Result
The transformation exceeded expectations:
🏠 The small laundry is now highly functional with excellent storage, proving that clever design can overcome limited space.
🛠️ The bathroom feels larger, more modern and far more family-friendly, with a layout that works beautifully for day-to-day life.
🌊 The refreshed spaces significantly modernise the home and contribute positively to long-term resale value.
The clients were extremely happy with the final outcome and appreciated the extra detail and care taken to achieve the perfect layout.
