Complete transformations
More than cosmetic updates.
A home renovation is an opportunity to completely redefine how you live. Strava Group delivers high end home renovations across Beecroft and the surrounding district, transforming established homes into refined, contemporary residences, managed as complete projects from concept through to completion.
Rather than renovating room by room, we approach each Beecroft project as a unified transformation: layout reconfigurations, designer kitchens, luxury bathrooms, flooring, lighting, windows and street presence, all working together. The result is a home that feels intentional, balanced and built to a higher standard.
On most Federation era Beecroft homes, the biggest single gain is not the kitchen. It is connecting the formal rooms the house was built around into the open living the family actually wants, without losing the character that made you buy it.
Quick Answer
Ground floor renovation work runs $2,500 to $4,500 per square metre, with roughly $30,000 in preliminaries (design, engineering and council approvals, plus site set-up) on top. A full internal renovation of a typical Beecroft home generally falls between $180,000 and $450,000, with period detail work adding to that on Federation homes. Structural changes, wet areas and the age of the existing services move the figure most.
Renovating in Beecroft
What shapes a renovation in Beecroft.
Beecroft is Federation and interwar homes in a conservation area, which protects the streetscape while leaving you remarkable freedom inside. Here is what shapes a project locally.
Council
Hornsby Shire, conservation aware
Beecroft sits within Hornsby Shire Council, and much of the suburb is inside the Beecroft Cheltenham Heritage Conservation Area. That mostly governs how the home reads from the street. Internal renovations that keep the structure and footprint often need no approval at all, and we confirm the pathway for your property before quoting.
Housing
Federation and interwar, worth doing properly
Beecroft is Federation and interwar homes at their best: high ceilings, ornate cornices, timber detail, and layouts built for a century ago. Small service rooms, closed kitchens, dark hallways. Exactly the stock where a considered renovation transforms daily life while the period character stays.
Structure
A century of settlement behind the linings
Federation era framing has usually seen a hundred years of movement, previous renovations and undocumented alterations. We check and rectify the structure before anything goes back on, tie new work properly to old, and detail every junction so the finished walls stay flat and crack free.
Layout
Period front, contemporary back
The renovation that works in Beecroft keeps the formal Federation rooms at the front and opens the rear of the house into contemporary family living flowing to the garden. Most of the walls involved are structural, and we engineer them out properly while respecting how the original house carries its loads.
Services
Wiring and plumbing from another era
Century old homes frequently carry generations of patched wiring, galvanised plumbing and undersized switchboards. A full renovation is the one moment these can be replaced without ripping open finished rooms, and we assess them up front rather than mid build.
Value
A suburb worth reinvesting in
With the village, the station and the schools families move here for, Beecroft values support serious renovation spend, and a beautifully renovated Federation home is the most sought after product in the suburb. A complete transformation typically costs far less than trading up once stamp duty and agent fees are counted.
Thinking bigger than a renovation? We also build second storey additions in Beecroft and home extensions in Beecroft, and staging them alongside a renovation costs less than doing them years apart.

The Strava standard
How we build differently.
We build for longevity. That sounds like a slogan until you see where it costs us money. On every Beecroft renovation we run:
The existing structure gets rectified, not covered
Plenty of renovations put new gyprock over old problems and hope for the best. We do a full screw off and re-brace the whole house, tying new and existing structure together so the frame moves as one and future cracking is designed out, not painted over.
Furring channels for a dead flat finish
We install furring channels throughout, creating a perfectly level plane for the new linings regardless of what the old frame is doing behind them. Flat on handover day, still flat in raking afternoon light years later.
Waterproofing is a documented hold point
Wet areas are inspected and photographed before a single tile goes on, to AS 3740.
Blocking installed at frame stage
Extra noggins and fixings go in where vanities, TVs, handrails and shower screens will hang later, not chased in afterwards.
Every new-to-existing junction properly detailed
This is where most renovations crack. It is almost always a detailing shortcut, not settlement. Ours get a proper flashing and movement detail.
Everything photographed before it is covered
You receive the record at handover, so in ten years you know exactly what is behind your walls.
Honest numbers
What a renovation costs in Beecroft.
Most builders will not put numbers on a website. We will, because the alternative is wasting your time and ours across three meetings before anyone mentions a figure.
| Item | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Full internal renovation, typical Beecroft home | $180k–$450k |
| Ground floor renovation work | $2,500–$4,500 /m² |
| Work at first floor level | $3,500–$5,500 /m² |
| Preliminaries, on top of build cost | approx. $30,000 |
Federation homes reward care and punish shortcuts, and renovating one properly costs more per square metre than a seventies project home. Matching period joinery, plaster detail and roof junctions takes trade skill, and it is exactly the work we enjoy most.
How many of the walls you want gone are structural is usually the largest single factor, followed by the number of wet areas, since a bathroom carries more trades per square metre than any other room in the house. Century old homes frequently need full rewiring and replumbing, priced up front rather than discovered mid build.
Every project is quoted properly after a site inspection. These ranges are here so you can decide whether it is worth a conversation.
