Building in Castlemaine
Castlemaine houses ask for a careful read before a hammer is lifted. BOS brings 20 years of building experience to renovations, extensions and new homes across Castlemaine and Mount Alexander Shire.
What we do in Castlemaine
- Whole-home and partial renovations with the existing structure understood first
- Extensions that connect to the old house without looking like a separate project
- Kitchens, bathrooms and wet areas with the services and finishes properly coordinated
- New homes built for Castlemaine sites and the way people live in them
Castlemaine houses and the practical problems they hand you
Stumps, subfloor damp and wiring are common things to understand before the new work is priced. Wet areas can also have been built to standards that no longer apply, which affects what needs to be opened up and brought up to the current requirements.
We check the condition of the structure and services before treating the finishes as the main event. It is a more useful way to renovate: the visible result is better because the work underneath it has been dealt with properly.
Extensions that belong to the house
The new work should tie back to the older house so the join does not read as an add-on. That means paying attention to floor levels, roof lines, window proportions, materials and the transition between rooms. Sometimes the best answer is a direct match; sometimes a clean change of material makes the connection more honest. Either way, the detail needs to be deliberate.
Kitchens and bathrooms
Kitchens and bathrooms carry most of the technical decisions in a renovation: plumbing routes, waterproofing, ventilation, cabinetry, power and the sequence of trades. We coordinate those parts so the finishes do not hide a rushed job underneath.
Layouts are worked around real routines. There should be somewhere for the things you use, enough room to move, and materials that can cope with daily life in the house.
New homes
A new home in Castlemaine starts with the site: orientation, levels, access, services and the way the building will meet the landscape. We keep the design, scope and construction conversation joined up from the first visit through to handover.
BOS is a registered building practitioner, BPC DB-U 38574, a Master Builders Victoria member and has 20 years in the work. We use Master Builders contracts and keep the next decision clear, so the build stays accountable as it moves forward.
