Waterfront build or reno? All you need to know

Here at SSR Projects, originating in the Sutherland Shire, we know a lot about what’s involved in creating, renovating or extending the waterfront home of your dreams. There’s a bit more work that goes into waterfront homes, as there’s more variables to consider. Think: maximising views, utility and sustainability, and what materials we use for these kinds of houses to ensure the longevity of your structure. 

Scenic views are obviously one of the top factors of consideration when building or renovating your home. We love to work with the natural elements on offer and consider what your primary objectives are - will it be more light in the living spaces, making use of open plans? Bedrooms on the ground floor, so you can have the luxury of living spaces on the top floor? We provide an end-to-end service, so you don’t have to deal with the stress of juggling multiple contractors.

Firstly, we completely remove the stress of dealing with council building regulations. We know what will get through the council, so we can make suggestions to your design to save you a lot of headaches.

We also understand the unique practices, materials and finishes your extension, construction or renovation will need to survive the harsh environment of a coastal location. Salt spray and harsh sea breezes can wreak havoc on your property. So, we’ll make sure your home is built tough with materials that require as little maintenance as possible.You let us know what you’re thinking, and we’ll make it happen. We’ll leave you with the best views your house and block can offer. 

Along with your views, maximising your utility is at the forefront of what we do. There’ll be no wasted space on our watch! There’s no point having a pretty house if you don’t have fun using what it has to offer. We’ll work out the finer details and leave you with kitchen, dining and a laundry to love. PS. We’re great at envisioning storage.

Another thing to consider with waterfront renovations and builds is an ability to maximise your property value. If you plan to have a pool or outdoor deck area, you’ll need a place to put things. Along with having a pool, having an area to sit and enjoy outside, along with storage space to eliminate clutter, is a great selling point. Likewise inside, having an island bench, for example, will help to maximise your value due to the extra storage and ideal use of space. Stand-alone baths will always increase value, as well as using top-of-the-range appliances throughout the home. We can help with these ideas too! Trust the process.

It’s now more important than ever that we create a sustainable home for our families. In a world where everybody is now conscious of their environmental footprint, it’s important to extend this to your living arrangements. Solar panels are something we can help with in the design process so that you’re creating a better home for the environment along with your family. 

Whether it’s a small reno or a complete rebuild. We’ve got your best interests in supplying the best materials and contracts for fit-outs and cabinetries. Oh, and we definitely know a thing or two about waterfronts..
