Mindful Homes specialises in creating fully customised second storey and third storey additions for home owners across Perth. With more than 20 years’ combined experience working across a diverse range of property types, aesthetic tastes and budgets, we work closely with our clients and bring outstanding levels of quality, attention to detail and personalisation to all our projects.
Building a home addition is a great way to significantly enhance the quality of the time you spend in your home with family and friends. Whilst some Perth home owners can find the prospect of embarking on a major home addition as daunting, with the right builder, the process can be seamless, relatively stress-free and even enjoyable. Mindful Homes specialises in helping Perth home owners realise the potential of their existing properties by designing and building fully customised double storey and triple storey home additions. Following are just some of the benefits you’ll experience when choosing Mindful Homes to create your home addition:
As one of Perth’s leading boutique builders, we don’t believe in ‘cookie-cutter’ solutions and understand that all clients have unique needs, aspirations and budgets. That’s why we approach every project with an open mind; ready to listen and gain an understanding of how we can best help each client make their dream home a reality. As a hands-on, family-owned building company, we limit the number of Perth home addition, renovation and extension projects we take on each year. This enables us to really get to know our clients and partner with them throughout every phase of the design and construction process. Whilst we’re small enough to provide fully personalised service, we’re also big enough and experienced enough to bring exceptional levels of quality, expertise and value to all our home addition projects. Working with a highly qualified team of Architects, Building Designers, Draftspeople and trade professionals, we take care of everything required to deliver high quality, seamlessly executed outcomes for our clients.
At Mindful Homes, having successfully delivered a wide variety of home extensions, renovations and new home builds across Perth, we understand that embarking on a home addition project can be daunting. That’s why we are committed to maintaining a highly personalised approach and working closely with you to exceed your expectations with regard to the quality, attention to detail and project management we deliver. Collaborating with highly qualified Architects, Building Designers, Draftspeople and trade professionals, here’s how we’d manage your home addition project:
We’ll meet with you on site to assess your existing property and talk through your aspirations, vision and budget. With more than 20 years’ combined experience working across Perth’s renovation, extension and new home building industries, we’ll also share our expertise on what we think would work well for your space. After having agreed on a conceptual plan, we’ll prepare a free cost estimate that provides you with an accurate idea of how much the design and construction of your home addition will cost. This includes allowances for all your fixtures and fittings based on your desired level of quality and aesthetic preferences. If you have already sourced any of your fixtures or appliances yourself, these will simply be omitted from our pricing.
If you’re happy with the initial concept design and cost estimate, we will move to getting your plans engineered and drawn up. Depending on the style of your home and the size and complexities of your build, your plans may be prepared by either an Architect, Building Designer or Draftsperson, together with a Structural Engineer. Mindful Homes works with a trusted network of design and engineering professionals across Perth and can seamlessly manage this entire process for our clients. We also work extensively with clients who have existing plans and we are more than happy to liaise with our clients’ selected design professionals and build to their specifications.
Once you’re happy with the plans, and following any revisions you require, we’ll agree on a commencement date and Mindful Homes will prepare the final contract, itemised quote and scope of works. This will be signed by both you and us and will provide a detailed account of the final, fixed-price cost of your home addition as well the material specifications we’ve agreed on.
After both parties have signed the contract, we will take care of everything associated with obtaining council permits for your home addition. This includes completing all the necessary paperwork such as the CDC, Water Corp application, energy efficiency assessment and BA forms. Having liaised with many local councils across Perth, we can ensure the progression of your home addition permit application is managed as swiftly and efficiently as possible.
Once construction has started, we will provide you with details of our suppliers’ showrooms so you can choose from a vast variety of fittings and fixtures. Depending on the scope of your home addition, and whether you have independently sourced any materials yourself, this may include everything from tiles, benchtops and cabinetry through to lighting, taps, sinks, flooring, window furnishings, appliances and paint. At Mindful Homes, we take complete responsibility for managing the build site on a day-to-day basis. This includes coordinating all required trades and maintaining your home in a safe, secure and orderly manner. As a small, family-owned building company, we go the extra mile to ensure your new home addition is efficiently constructed with as minimal disruption as possible to your usual activities. We also maintain continual communication with you throughout the build to answer any queries you have and keep you updated with the project’s progress.
Once your home addition project is completed to your satisfaction, you’ll enjoy the reassurance of our six-month maintenance period and ten-year structural warranty. Whilst we will bill you for some incremental payments throughout the project to cover the cost of materials, you will be given one week from submission of our final invoice to inform us of anything you feel needs rectifying prior to making your final payment.
