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 Concord and Canada Bay and the inner west, 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 Concord 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.
Renovating in Concord
What shapes a renovation in Concord.
Concord is interwar and post-war brick on wide, regular blocks, tightly held and well worth the spend. Here is what shapes a renovation locally.
City of Canada Bay
Concord sits within the City of Canada Bay Council. Internal renovations that keep the structure and footprint often need no approval at all under Exempt Development. Structural changes usually qualify for a Complying Development Certificate through a private certifier, except on the heritage conservation streets where a DA applies. We confirm the pathway for your property before quoting.
Interwar bungalows and post-war full brick
Interwar brick bungalows and Federation homes on the older streets, and a big stock of 1950s and 60s full brick built by the families who settled here. Good bones, generous rooms at the front, and a rear half of small kitchens, single bathrooms and enclosed verandahs. Exactly the stock where a complete renovation transforms the whole house.
Double brick on timber floors
Older Concord homes are double brick on suspended timber floors with hardwood framing and terracotta roofs, and the post-war stock is often full brick on a slab. Cutting new openings in double brick needs engineered lintels and careful propping, and new floors have to meet the old suspended floors exactly. We check and rectify the structure before anything goes back on.
Good rooms, wrong arrangement
Concord homes have generous front rooms and a cramped working half at the back. The renovation gain is in the flow: opening kitchen, dining and living into one connected space, bringing a second bathroom and a real laundry into the plan, and connecting the living to the backyard the block has always had. Most of those walls are structural, and we engineer them out properly.
Wiring and plumbing of a certain age
Homes of this vintage often carry original switchboards, aging wiring and galvanised or early copper plumbing. 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.
A suburb worth reinvesting in
Concord is tightly held, with Majors Bay Road, the parks and the school catchments keeping demand strong. A character home with a properly renovated interior is exactly what buyers here pay for, and a complete transformation typically costs far less than trading up within the suburb once stamp duty and agent fees are counted.
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 Concord 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 Concord.
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.
Concord blocks are unusually regular for the inner west, with workable side access on most streets, which keeps builds efficient compared with the terrace suburbs closer in.
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. Older double brick homes frequently need switchboard and plumbing upgrades, 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.
