Home Renovation & Remodeling in Lara.

“I was recommended to contract Cameron Bell of Belcro Group for all elements of my project- an extensive house renovation , and extension with landscaping ,in the coastal location of Lorne. Right from the very first meeting I was impressed by Cam’s easy going nature ‘can do’ approach and extremely positive attitude. The range of professional services provided by Belcro Group was perfect for my project- due to neatly encompassing all realms of the planning, designing, renovation and building process. Starting with a features survey - followed by renovation advice, then planning and building applications to, and meetings with council ,a detailed extension and landscaping design including impressive fly through 3D video link simulating walking through the house and garden. There was nothing that Cam couldn’t do! Literally all elements of the sometimes confusing and tricky business of building and renovating are very professionally and efficiently managed by Belcro Group, and in a price competitive manner. The very high standard of plans , drawings and design innovations delivered time efficiently make Belcro an outstanding choice for any prospective client seeking assistance for a small or large scale residential and even commercial project. I highly recommend Cam from Belcro to support your building project, as he is extremely personable, a great listener, and a very possibilities oriented person-Cam ensures the sometimes challenging process of project managing is made easy and fun.”

“Dylan is highly professional, so easy to work with and comes up with some great ideas outside the box. We loved working with Dylan on our extensive renovation and are thrilled with the finished product.”

“We were so thrilled with Sam from SawMill Designs and the work he did on our renovation design. We had a very small cottage and he designed a beautiful family home with everything we could’ve hoped for plus things we didn’t even realise we wanted. Sam’s attention detail, dedication and integrity was admirable and most appreciated. He is very knowledgeable and highly skilled within the building design space, so we knew we were in good hands. We loved working with him and highly recommend SawMill Designs.”

“Dianne has assisted me on a number of projects over the years including a brief to repurpose our home to a B&B. Dianne came up with practical yet fabulous designs from inception to final drawings. The most remarkable project Dianne undertook for me was to assist me when selecting the colour palate and fittings for the internal and external finishes for our new home build. It was a task I was dreading as making the wrong choices would not only have been costly but we would have had to live with the wrong decisions for a very long time. It was fantastic seeing Dianne at work, her eye for colour and detail meant that we motored through the whole day appointment in a few short hours and the results, now that we’re in our home, are totally fabulous.”

“Right from the beginning my wife and I felt that Mark and his team were focused on listening to what our needs were, at the same time providing plenty of options and innovations for us to consider. It was important to us that Mark had a sound knowledge, and practical experience, of incorporating eco-friendly and sustainable features into the design. Overall, the progression of our project was very much a collaborative process which resulted in an outstanding, and much appreciated, outcome. 'Koorameet' continues to receive much complimentary feedback from friends and guests who have been fortunate enough to enjoy its delightful amenity as a short-term rental property.”

“Christopher worked on this project with a considered approach to detail reflected in the plans he prepared and revised according to the changes that evolved. This attention to detail was appreciated by the builder who was working on the project. In addition his regular site meetings were written up in detail and provided the direction for the progress of the building and the extenuating circumstances that were faced due to its age. Christopher also provided good sources when it came to selecting tiles, flooring and other materials; his selection of quality materials adds to the style and line of a renovation. The journey of working on this project with Christopher was a rewarding one, which he helped to bring to fruition with a minimum of fuss.”

“Extremely happy with the professional advice and prompt responses from Marc and his team at Tarawill Building Design. Communication is excellent, no changes are ever an issue and Marc is always willing to assist. Marc has been able to design and navigate our application through water authority and council approvals for our dual occupancy/townhouse development and all the way up to building documentation. The whole process is made easier with Tarawill Building Design having all required consultants at hand. We highly recommend Marc and his team.”

“Our experience with IO Architecture was a great result after inviting their services on our behalf to various, useless, overpaid,council departments. Apart from council "doing my head in" the stress relief by Io Architecture stepping in and being persistence proved worthwhile and finally gave us our expected and deserving result. The fees charged were reasonable and regular communication regarding our project was excellent. We recommend your next project to IO Architecture for a complete service.”

“Nice job. Great dealing and great job love you guys keep it up. After all you cost relatively less than ohers but work is better than others, We will work again in future.”

“My wife and I retained Paul's services to design and supervise construction of our new home. We gave Paul, we think, a demanding brief made more complex by stringent building covenants over the land, a restricted building envelope and an irregularly shaped Lot. We found Paul not only very talented and creative in designing a beautiful home, but also practical, personable and more than willing to work closely with us, the builder and trades to ensure a wonderful outcome for ourselves. He assisted in choice of fittings and the minutia of fit out and was always available and responsive. Paul designed us a beautiful home, which we admire daily, love living in and enjoy immeasurably.”
