Swanbourne mixes older character homes, post-war brick-and-tile, and a few newer builds, all within walking distance of the beach. Owners here tend to stay for the long term, which is why renovations are usually substantial rather than cosmetic.
MJD Projects works with Swanbourne homeowners on heritage renovations, interior transformations, extensions, and full home reconfigurations. Design, drafting, and construction are handled by one team, so the plans you approve are the plans that get built.
Swanbourne Heritage and Planning
Swanbourne falls under the Town of Claremont, with heritage overlays across parts of the suburb. Most structural work and heritage-sensitive renovations need development approval.
Marcus understands what the Town of Claremont expects and manages approvals from the start, before plans are drawn. That order matters, because it keeps the design within what's likely to be approved.
Why Choose MJD Projects
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.
