The reason our projects finish on schedule and on budget is our obsessive pre-construction planning.
We visit your home, assess structural walls, scan the layout, and produce photorealistic 3D renders of your new kitchen, bathroom, or extension before any contract is signed.
Every stone slab, joinery hinge, tapware item, and tile is selected upfront. You receive a guaranteed fixed-price contract with zero ambiguous allowances.
We use negative-air HEPA extractors and floor protection so you can continue living comfortably. Your site supervisor provides daily photographic updates through our client portal.
Professional deep clean, handover of all manufacturer warranties, compliance certificates, and commencement of your 10-year structural warranty.
We partner exclusively with certified stone masons, master joiners, and trusted luxury fixture importers.
"Vanguard completely renovated our 1920s Hawthorn kitchen and butler's pantry. What blew us away was the fixed quote — not a single dollar of surprise variations. The marble joinery is museum quality."
"We had heard renovation horror stories from friends, but Vanguard was the opposite. The site was spotless at the end of every single day, and the finished master ensuite feels like a 5-star Japanese onsen."
"Our Albert Park terrace extension required tricky heritage permits and tight access. Vanguard managed council approvals, steel fabrication, and delivery seamlessly. Cannot recommend them highly enough."
Yes. Unlike builders who use vague 'provisional sums' to lure you in, our tenders are fully specified down to every tapware code, stone slab grade, and electrical outlet. The price in your contract is the exact price you pay at handover.
For kitchen and bathroom renovations, yes. We construct heavy-duty zipper dust barriers, run HEPA air scrubbers daily, and ensure your water and power are only isolated when strictly necessary.
Yes. For structural extensions, heritage overlays (City of Boroondara, Port Phillip, Stonnington), and load-bearing alterations, our in-house team coordinates structural engineers, building certifiers, and council approvals end to end.
All our renovations include a comprehensive structural warranty terms shown here, a 2-Year non-structural defects warranty, and full manufacturer warranties on all appliances, stone slabs, and fixtures.
