MJD Projects specialises in heritage home renovations across Perth. Marcus, our registered builder, has worked on federation homes, character homes, and heritage-listed properties across Perth's inner and western suburbs for over 20 years.
Most Perth heritage homes fall within heritage precincts or carry a formal listing administered by the local council or the State Heritage Office. These listings restrict what can be altered, how extensions must present from the street, and which materials are acceptable.
Getting this wrong wastes time and money. A builder who understands heritage overlays from the start helps you avoid amended plans, resubmissions, and drawn-out approval processes.
Marcus has completed heritage renovations across Mount Lawley, Subiaco, Claremont, Cottesloe, East Perth, West Perth, Shenton Park, Fremantle, Menora, Highgate, Dalkeith, Nedlands, and Mosman Park. He understands how each local council approaches heritage applications and what they need to see.
Heritage homes in Perth span multiple architectural eras. We work with:
Specific restoration and renovation work includes:
Heritage renovations require the design and building decisions to work together. An extension that looks right architecturally but conflicts with council requirements does not get approved. Plans that satisfy council but ignore how the building is actually used are not practical.
By handling architectural drafting, interior design, and construction in-house, we make sure all three are resolved as a single process. Fewer revisions. Better outcomes.
In most cases, yes. Modern additions to heritage properties are assessed against criteria that look at visual impact from the street, materials, scale, and the relationship to the original building. We understand these criteria and can advise on what is achievable before you commit to plans.
Talk to Marcus before you make any plans. He will visit your property, assess the heritage requirements that apply, and give you honest guidance on what is possible and how to approach it.
