Hendecourt, Upper Lynn

After many years in this post-war family home, the owners were ready for a change. They did consider buying somewhere new but they loved the neighbourhood and knew they wouldn’t find a better location. With ambitious plans to create a home that would meet their changing needs they asked Upward Construction to take the bare bones of their old house and turn it into something new.

The Upward crew dug down to 9ft to find solid ground to build new foundations to accommodate the extension.

The interior has been completely gutted to allow for the reconfiguration of the old house. The updated living space will include a master bedroom with en suite and walk-in closet, a family room with wet bar, a separate laundry room, an open-plan kitchen and living area and much more storage space.

The roof was removed and completely tarped to weather-proof the house during the winter months to keep the project on schedule.

We are experts at completing multi-faced projects such as this one. We have a core team of 15 and we use only the best and most reliable sub trades for additional help. We know where to go to find construction materials that are right for your project and we can help you source finishings and accessories that will make the most of the renovations.

A completely new house is emerging from under the covers. The property has grown from 3,200 to 4,400 sq ft and when it is completed it will have a brand new interior, a large entertaining deck, a secluded veranda and an extended garage.

You don’t have to move on and move out to get the home you want. If you like where you live but don’t have a house that matches your requirements, maybe it’s time to get in touch with Upward Construction. Thorough planning is critical for such a project and we will take you through all the necessary steps to make sure that you get the house that you want without any additional hassles. We provide drawings for every job and give you all the information you need to make informed decisions about potential costs, planning issues and construction time lines.
