Renovations & Extensions

Builders specialising in renovations and extensions in Kiama, Gerringong, Gerroa and surrounds.

Have you been living with an older style property that could do with a makeover or perhaps your once babies are now cheeky toddlers finding their feet and your home just isn’t big enough?

Renovating your existing home can breath new life into an old house and can present you with the ability to enhance the features of the house you do love while updating the features of the house that you do not.

We know first hand how important it is to combine functionality and style to present our clients with a renovated home they will be proud to live in for many years to come.

1. Pre-site

Once we receive your renovation or extension enquiry our Director Michael will be in touch by phone, this is usually a preliminary chat to get a brief understanding of what you may be after. 

From here we then organise a face to face meeting usually onsite at the property you are wanting to renovate or add an extension too. 

We welcome any designers or architects that you may be working with to also attend this meeting as this will enable us to get a detailed idea of exactly what you are looking to achieve and your estimated budget for the renovation. 

We will then provide you with a no-obligation free quote based on this information and organise a follow up phone call or meeting to discuss any questions you may have. 

Once we have your approval to proceed with the renovation we can then schedule the start date and begin the most exciting part of the whole process... the renovations!!

2. Construction

At Digger Brothers Building we appreciate that choosing us as your builder to renovate your family home can be a big step which is why we have a big focus on transparency and open communication. 

From the moment we start your renovation our Director Michael will be in regular communication with you by phone and email to ensure you are kept up to speed on each part of the renovation process. 

Whilst every effort is taken to ensure no challenges arise during construction if in the event we encounter one, we will work with you to overcome it in a timely and cost effective manner, whilst providing full transparency on the matter at hand. 

We know that construction on a home is disruptive to the residents of that home, but it can also be disruptive to neighbours which is why we work within business hours Monday to Friday and wherever possible do our best to keep noise to a minimum. 

OH&S is something we take very seriously so all visitors or trades to one of our Digger Brothers sites, must go through a safety induction before stepping on site. At the end of each day the job site is tidied thoroughly, so as to minimise any risks.

3. Handover

This is our favourite part of the process! Once we have completed your Kiama or Gerringong renovation we will hand it over to you looking brand new. This is where all of our hard work pays off when we see just how happy our clients are with their newly renovated home. 

Once you build with us you become part of the Digger Brothers story, by choosing to work with us you are not only getting excellent quality from a reputable builder, but you are also choosing to support 'local'.

  • We chose Mick and the team at Digger Brothers Building for our major renovation in 2021 for their reputation when it comes to quality. Not only did they exceed our expectations around quality, Mick and the Team delivered earlier than scheduled and came in on budget. This delivery and cost focused result was even more impressive given the shortage in building supplies and the costs of materials skyrocketing during the build.

    The professionalism and communication that is displayed by the whole team at Digger Brothers is exceptional, but the communication from Mick himself was on another level again, we were kept informed on every level throughout the whole build from planning all the way through to execution and delivery (and every detail in between).

  • We chose Digger Brothers following a strong recommendation from a friend.

    Mick took the profession to a new level. His enthusiasm and attention to detail, along with his knowledge and competence, gave us full confidence and trust in his capability to deliver us the home we desired.

    The trait that stood out the most, was his personal approach. We weren’t just another ‘customer’, and he was well aware of the pressures we were under. He patiently and warmly guided us through the process, and did everything in his control to keep the build within budget.

    Viruben Watson – Willowbank, Gerringong
  • Digger Brothers Building renovated our Jamberoo house in 2019 and we were extremely happy with the results. I would highly recommend them. Michael is a great communicator and our project was finished on time and on budget, with great quality work and a lot of attention to detail.

  • It was an absolute pleasure working with Michael Digger and his team to build our Airbnb cottage. Michael has meticulous attention to detail, is genuinely caring and highly responsive to any questions.

    Julie Carlill – Infinity on Willowvale
  • What you have produced has exceeded our expectations. We have effectively a new house on an old footprint, which has enhanced the aspect and view enormously.
