Renovations That Reimagine Your Existing Home

At Golding Projects, we approach home renovations in Adelaide with an appreciation for what makes each property unique, whether that involves opening up an outdated floor plan, refreshing essential rooms or undertaking a more extensive transformation. Our aim is to help you make better use of the home you already have because a well-planned renovation can change the way you experience your home, creating spaces that feel more connected, comfortable and suited to everyday living. 

Every renovation begins with understanding what works, what doesn’t and what you would like to achieve. During our initial discussions and property assessment, we consider the existing layout, structural conditions and practical requirements that may influence the project. This is particularly important when renovating established homes, where previous alterations, ageing materials or concealed building conditions can affect how proposed changes are planned and delivered.

From kitchen and bathroom renovations to significant internal reconfigurations, our work brings together the different elements needed to improve an existing property. We coordinate with professional building designers, engineers and specialist trades where required, ensuring that design decisions are considered alongside the realities of construction. By developing the scope and supporting documentation before confirming the building price, we help homeowners make informed decisions about their renovation investment.

Is It Time To Rethink Your Adelaide Home?

A thoughtfully planned home renovation in Adelaide can help you rediscover the potential of a property that no longer feels quite right for your lifestyle. Perhaps the kitchen has become difficult to use, the living areas feel disconnected or the original layout no longer accommodates your family’s routines. Rather than moving away from a familiar neighbourhood, renovating offers an opportunity to reshape the spaces you already know and value.

For owners of older and established homes, the challenge can extend beyond outdated finishes or a lack of storage. Traditional layouts may contain enclosed rooms and narrow connections that limit how the property functions, while existing structural conditions can influence which changes are practical. Cracking, damp, uneven walls or evidence of previous alterations may need further investigation before deciding how to proceed with the proposed renovation.

Understanding which areas need attention is an important starting point, particularly when several improvements are being considered together. Some homeowners may benefit from targeted kitchen or bathroom renovations, while others need a broader reconfiguration that changes how rooms connect and function. By considering the property as a whole, you can develop a clearer renovation brief and identify the changes most relevant to your everyday needs.

Why Adelaide Homeowners Choose Golding Projects

For four generations, building has been part of the Golding family’s story, shaping the experience and personal approach that founder Terry Golding brings to residential construction today. Growing up around building sites and working alongside his father gave Terry an early understanding of the care and responsibility involved in improving people’s homes. Through Golding Projects, that family connection continues in the relationships he develops with clients and his direct involvement throughout their building projects.

Terry holds an Associate Diploma in the Built Environment from the University of South Australia and works alongside construction manager David Maunder, whose industry experience spans more than 30 years. Together, they bring practical building knowledge and construction management experience to projects where existing structures, previous alterations and design requirements must be carefully considered. Golding Projects operates under building licence BLD 220195, providing homeowners with a clearly identified licensed building business.

We deliberately limit the number of projects undertaken each year, allowing Terry and the wider team to remain closely involved in planning, supervision and communication. For homeowners renovating an established property, this provides continuity as decisions are made and unexpected building considerations are addressed. Our approach centres on understanding the client’s priorities, maintaining detailed project records and providing regular updates throughout the building process.

Lisa K

Terry’s communication was clear via emails, texts, and face to face site visits. He promptly answered any questions we had. Terry helped us as much as he could, no matter how big or small the question or task was. Terry was methodical in his approach, and helped us work through the multitude of decisions that were required to be made in order to demolish, lay new foundations and build. It was so good that we were able to trust Terry, with his decades of knowledge and experience. [see full review]

Robo Smith

This was our first experience with building and we are absolutely delighted with the house extension that Terry, Dave, Sammie and the team delivered. Our project was many years in the planning and from our first meeting with Terry we felt confident we were in experienced hands. Dave’s attention to detail is second to none and he always went the extra mile to ensure it was how we wanted it. We felt listened to, consulted and informed throughout the full journey. [see full review]

Les Shearn

It took my wife and I eight years to find Golding Projects, and from our very first meeting we knew we had finally found the right team. They truly listened to what we were looking for, a skill that continued consistently throughout the entire build process. [see full review]

Tim Hill

After being back in our house for a year now we really get a chance to reflect on how far we have come from that point where we had ideas and a design and someone recommended that we “talk to Terry”. We did reach out and what we found was a team that was a perfect fit for us in Terry and Dave (and the broader team). [see full review]

Bruce C

I had an exceptional experience working with builder Terry and his site manager Dave on my project. They were professional, responsible, and incredibly attentive throughout the entire process. No matter how many questions I had, they always took the time to answer patiently and clearly. The project timeline was managed with remarkable efficiency, and the results speak for themselves. [see full review]

Ian Reynolds

After getting design finalised, planning approvals, engineering, building certification etc all I needed was a builder. Driving on Fitzroy Tce on my way to a medical appointment I spotted a grey ute with Golding Projects emblazoned on the door. Sure enough an old friend, Terry was driving. An hour later I called Terry and then supplied him with all the information I had about my proposed new home.[see full review]

Margaret Watson

We were delighted that Terry agreed to take on our project. He had previously done renovations for us in our old home, helping to renovate our bathroom, kitchen and laundry. The quality of his work was always outstanding, as was the standard of care. Terry made great efforts to keep us informed at each stage of the projects and sent us updates and pictures as the work was carried out. [see full review]

Hannah Hannaford Gunn

I highly recommend Golding Projects if you’re looking for a builder. Terry and Dave built an extension and ensuite on our existing home. Their work was top quality at a reasonable price. Their communication was excellent and they were highly trustworthy as well as professional and friendly. [see full review]

David Hilder
January 2023

Wow, Wow, Wow! What a terrific and delightful experience having Golding Projects adding our new en-suite to our home in Prospect. After a lengthy delay to gain approval for our build our en-suite build commenced in early October 2022. We thought to get this completed prior to Xmas was wishful thinking.[see full review]

Felicity Garreffa

We recently had our 1890 Victorian Villa renovated by Golding Projects. Having already come highly recommended Terry, Dave and Will managed to exceed our expectations every step of the way!
Excellent communication, attention to detail and genuine pride in their work ensured the finished product was perfect.[see full review]

Planning A House Renovation In Adelaide? Your Questions Answered

How Much Do Home Renovations In Adelaide Typically Cost?

The cost of home renovations in Adelaide depends on the areas being updated, the extent of structural changes and the materials and finishes selected. Existing building conditions can also influence the work required. At Golding Projects, preliminary budgeting follows concept planning, while detailed documentation and supplier quotations help establish a more accurate construction price before contractual arrangements are finalised.

Can You Renovate An Older Or Character Home?

Yes. Golding Projects undertakes renovations to established and character homes, where preserving existing architectural features may be an important part of the project. Older properties can also present structural or material considerations that need to be assessed before work begins. We consider these factors during planning so proposed improvements respond appropriately to the original building.

Should We Renovate Our Entire Home Or Start With One Area?

That depends on your priorities, budget and how the proposed changes relate to one another. A kitchen or bathroom renovation may address a specific problem, while a more extensive project can be appropriate when several rooms or the overall layout need attention. Reviewing your requirements together can help determine a practical scope before detailed planning begins.

Do Home Renovations In Adelaide Require Council Approval?

Approval requirements depend on the nature and extent of the proposed renovation. Cosmetic updates may involve different considerations from structural alterations or changes affecting the building’s existing configuration. Where relevant, planning and building approvals form part of the project’s preparation. We coordinate with appropriate building professionals to identify the documentation and approval steps required for the proposed work.

Can We Continue Living In Our Home During Renovations?

Whether you can remain at home depends on the areas being renovated, the extent of demolition or structural work and how construction affects access and essential services. Some projects may allow parts of the property to remain occupied, while others may require temporary alternative arrangements. These considerations should be discussed during planning before construction arrangements are finalised.

What Happens If Unexpected Problems Are Found During Renovation?

Renovating an existing property can reveal conditions that were not apparent before work commenced, particularly where walls, floors or other concealed areas are involved. The implications depend on the nature of the issue and the work required to address it. Golding Projects’ approach to project supervision and communication provides a basis for discussing construction findings and the decisions needed as work progresses.
