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 Parramatta 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 Parramatta 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 Parramatta
What shapes a renovation in Parramatta.
Beyond the towers of the second CBD, Parramatta is house streets running from Federation cottages to post war brick, much of it at exactly the age where a complete renovation makes sense. Here is what shapes a project locally.
City of Parramatta
Parramatta sits within the City of Parramatta. Internal renovations that keep the structure and footprint often need no approval at all under Exempt Development. In the heritage pockets around the older streets anything visible from the street needs a DA, while elsewhere the faster Complying Development pathway is usually available.
Federation cottages to post war brick
Parramatta’s house streets run from Federation and interwar cottages to solid post war brick and clad homes: good bones, dated layouts, kitchens walled off from living. Exactly the stock where opening the plan transforms the whole house, and the approach differs between a 1910 cottage and a 1960 one.
Good frames, hidden surprises
The framing of this era is generally sound, but decades of settlement, previous handyman renovations and undocumented alterations are common behind the linings. We check and rectify the structure before anything goes back on, so the finished walls stay flat.
Big footprints, poor flow
Parramatta homes are rarely short on floor area. The renovation gain is in the flow: removing the walls between kitchen, dining and living, opening the rear to the yard, and turning unused formal rooms into space the family actually lives in. 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
Walking distance from everything the second CBD is becoming, with the Metro on its way, a house in Parramatta supports serious renovation spend. A complete transformation typically costs far less than trading up once stamp duty and agent fees are counted, and you keep the block you already own.
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 Parramatta 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 Parramatta.
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.
The age of the home moves the number in Parramatta: a Federation cottage renovation carries period detail and rewiring costs a 1960 brick veneer does not, and we price the difference up front rather than discover it mid build.
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 Parramatta homes frequently need switchboard and plumbing upgrades, priced up front.
Every project is quoted properly after a site inspection. These ranges are here so you can decide whether it is worth a conversation.
