Medindie Renovation

Master Builders Awards 2015

Excellence in a Renovation or Addition $600,000 – $1 million

Our Clients had engaged Rebecca Arbon of Arbon Design to design and tender their renovation works. The design process had taken over twelve months to complete and by the time we were asked to tender there was a very short time frame available for construction due to a major function having been pre-booked at the home in early 2015. Rebecca had already proposed to the client that they consider a cost plus contract due to the short turnaround time available for the tender process and as many construction / finish details were yet to be finalized. Arbon Design has standard builders on its tender list (which we were not) to which the documents were sent, however Kreca Renovations had completed projects for several friends of the clients hence it was suggested to them directly that they invite us to tender. We issued an initial estimate on 26th September and after providing a potential cost savings list on 3 of October, were engaged as the builder on 6th of October to then commence works on October 9th! The estimate were always that and a cot plus contract was negotiated and signed, which was essential during the build as many changes and additions were made to the scope of works, having a cost plus contract provided the flexibility to manage these without significant variation paperwork being signed at every step. 

Hyde Park Renovation

Master Builders Awards 2013

Excellence in a Renovation or Addition over $1,000,000.00

This four-bedroom family home in Hyde Park was devastated by fire in February 2012. Thankfully no one was injured but the family was understandably shaken up and ready for a fresh start so they could once again enjoy their magnificent home. They embarked on plans to renovate with Susan Scrymgour Architecture and later came to know of Kreca Renovations through word of mouth recommendations.

Norwood Renovation

The owners of this now magnificent family home are veterans of the renovation world having completed eight renovations both commercial and residential with Kreca Renovations. In 2012 we completed their previous personal residence in St Peters and the result was magnificent, being awarded a Building Excellence Award at the time. There was really no question as to who would be building this, the best yet of their projects; a four bedroom 530m2 family home on an XXm2 residential allotment on George street at Norwood, just a stroll from the vibrant ever evolving Norwood Parade.

St Peters Extension & Renovation

Master Builders Awards 2012

Excellence in a Renovation or Addition $600,000 – $1,000,000.00

The renovations and addition to this return verandah stone villa in St Peters are testament to Kreca Renovations skill and expertise in both modern and traditional building methods. The design by Marco Spinelli of Architects Ink blends modern form against a traditional Adelaide residence. With input from Kreca Renovations in selection of building materials and methods we have created a seamless flow from old to new and indoors to out. 

The bluestone walls are an absolute feature in the new areas. Their mass is striking yet not overbearing and traditional craftsmanship together with modern form ensure they also blend in with the surrounding architecture. The bluestone was sourced by Kreca Renovations from a local church demolition to ensure it is in keeping with the original stonework in the existing residence. 

Eden Hills Renovation

Master Builders Awards 2012

Excellence in a Renovation or Addition up to $200,000.00

This project involved the design and construction of a 47m2 addition to the rear of a weatherboard cottage in addition to renovations to the internal adjoining portions of the home. The brief from the client included a strict budget, the incorporation of a large custom made round window and a functional open plan living / kitchen / dining area.

The end result is an addition which seamlessly integrates into the original cottage and has become the hub of family life. The recycled timber kitchen by Mark Barrett of Broadway Furniture is a magnificent feature and the round window now looks right at home. Recycled timber floor boards were used to blend old floors with the new area and expert craftsmanship has given a quality finish.

Parkside Renovation

West Beach Renovation & Configuration

This magnificent home at West Beach has been transformed from the street’s yellow brick ugly duckling to a modern residence which looks right at home in its beachside surrounds. Kreca Renovations designed the renovations and extensions in close consultation with the client and to an exacting brief. Despite being told by other builders that they would be better off demolishing the existing residence and building again, our clients were keen to retain the home as they felt they knew it well and could accurately pinpoint areas which worked and improvements required. Further they had previously designed some of the work with an architect but had received quotes well above budget for this design. Kreca Renovations is proud to have finally been able to actualize our clients dream for their family home.
