Renovating in Claremont usually means working around a heritage precinct, an interwar floor plan, or a home that's worth keeping but no longer suits how you live. Most owners here choose to renovate rather than move, and for good reason. The suburb holds its value.
MJD Projects works with Claremont homeowners on heritage renovations, interior transformations, alterations, and large additions. Design, drafting, and construction are handled by one team, so the plans you approve are the plans that get built.
Claremont Heritage and Planning
Parts of Claremont sit within heritage precincts managed by the Town of Claremont, and some homes are on the local or State heritage register. Most structural work needs development approval, and heritage-sensitive changes call for careful handling of facades and materials.
Marcus has worked on character and heritage homes across the western suburbs for more than 20 years. He knows what the Town of Claremont looks for and prepares applications that move through without avoidable delays.
One Team, Start to Finish
Design, drafting, and construction sit under one roof. Plans are drawn to be built, so a decision made early in design doesn't turn into a costly surprise on site. Costs are explained before you commit, drafted plans start from a set fee, and Marcus manages each renovation on-site from start to finish.
