Canberra Inner North · Canberra & the ACT
The inner north holds Canberra's oldest housing, and older housing means renovation work with genuine complexity behind it.
Servicing Canberra Inner North and surrounds
Melbourne-based, on the ground across the south-east and northern suburbs, with support in Canberra and remote setup Australia-wide.
Ainslie, Braddon, Turner, O'Connor, Lyneham and Dickson contain much of Canberra's pre-1960s stock, including original government-built housing. These homes are being progressively renovated and extended by owners who have paid a lot for the location — and they are exactly the homes where pre-1980 building materials need care.
