Innovation in renovationWITH the recent increase in house prices,many owners have turned to renovating andextending their existing homes rather thanmaking the costly move to a new house.

According to Claremont-based boutiquebuilder Castleprime Construction, stampduty, removal costs, agency and other feeshave added to the appeal of renovating.

Castleprime specialises in single and double-storey renovations, extensions andsecond-storey additions.

“Our experience extends to older char-acter homes, architect-designed projectsand second-storey additions, but we arehappy to look at any project, simple or com-plex,” co-director Mark Hughes said.

Castleprime was established four yearsago by friends Mr Hughes and Mike Lomand,both of whom come from the UK and metin Perth through a love of water skiing.

After being approached by a mutualfriend to project manage a property in CityBeach, the duo forged a position in industryfrom word-of-mouth referrals.

Four years on, the business is flourishing,

despite an absence of signage on theiroffice.

“I guess we’ve just been too busy and wealways make the effort to visit our clients attheir homes or in the architect’s office, sowe haven't really had any call for signage,”Mr Hughes said.

Mr Hughes said the partners developed aunique personal relationship with eachclient and every project.

“From the initial meeting to final comple-tion, a small, dedicated team manages everydetail,” he said.

Castleprime can provide a design andconstruct service for clients who do nothave any plans available, including localauthority approvals, surveys, engineeringand specifications, or give a detailed, fixed-price quotation from existing plans.

The business partners, both western sub-urbs residents, said they take on a limitednumber of projects a year so that all clientliaisons were directly between them.

Cracking the residential code for more housingAMENDMENTS to the residential designcodes (R-Codes) for higher density housingcould pave the way for more affordable living inPerth’s premium suburbs.

According to Urban Development Instituteof Australia CEO Debra Goostrey, changes tothe codes would promote a diversity of hous-ing choices for the community.

Projects, particularly in inner city areas ornear transport facilities, were currently limitedto the number of dwellings per site.

However, with the new R-Code changesthese areas would no longer be restricted andcould be developed to their full potential.

New Home Building Brokers director TristanKirkham said the announcement was excitingnews for Perth homebuilders and would pro-vide separate planning power for higher densi-

ty accommodation – such as apartments andunits.

“This will sort out some inconsistent localgovernment town planning schemes, whichhave restricted Perth home builders and thecommunity for far too long,” he said.

“In terms of numbers, 47 per cent of addi-tional housing over the next 20 years will beurban infill and consolidation projects.”

Mr Kirkham said these changes would helppeople build a new home, or even subdivide ablock they were previously unable to do.

“Affordability is always a key issue and this isa step in the right direction. However Perth hasa long way to go to find the complete answer,’’he said.

“Big blocks close to main services and trans-port will now become sought after and under-

standing your options is critical given thesemassive changes coming in.”

Planning Minister John Day said the StateGovernment recognised the need to facilitate arange of housing options and the amendmentsto the R-Codes would facilitate development ofhigher density housing in urban areas.

“The existing provisions in the R-Codesworked well in guiding the development of sin-gle houses and grouped dwellings but did notdo enough to encourage diversity, affordabilityand flexibility in providing one and two-bed-room apartments,’’ he said.

The new provisions will be gazetted onNovember 22.

More information about the amendments isavailable from New Home Building Brokers on1300 383 262. ■

A true one-off with magnificent viewsANYONE who lives or haslived in East Fremantle knowsthe property at 4 ParkerStreet.

Often referred to as ‘theJetsons house’ because of itsarchitectural design, it will beauctioned onsite at 1.30pm onSaturday, November 6.

Built in 1957, the one-offthree-bedroom, one-bath-room home was designed by aMr Bollig and built by Russianbuilders.

Acton Attadale selling agentIan Pittaway said more than100 people had been throughthe property since it hadcome on to the market.

Many of them were localswho either wanted to live inthe home or just wanted to

take advantage of the chanceto see inside.

“The harbour-to-oceanviews are just unmatched andthe home has such an out-there style,” Mr Pittaway said.

“Imagine what the reactionwould have been like back in1957.”

Mr Pittaway said the prop-erty was being auctioned

because it was simply too dif-ficult to put a price on thehome and the views.

“This way the market tellsus what they value them at,”he said.

“The new owner can live inthe home as is, completelyrenovate or demolish, butmost people have said theywould keep the facade.” ■

Federation Queen of the portPERHAPS one of the oldest remaining houses in Fre-mantle, this Federation Queen Anne brick-and-tile resi-dence is a treasure of the port city.

The north-facing home occupies a prominent positionon a limestone outcrop on the corner of Tuckfield Streetand Canning Highway, overlooking the Swan River andbustling port.

Inscribed into a leadlight pane above the front door isthe word ‘Mutiara,’ ‘pearl’ in Indonesian. Legend has it thatthe house was built in the late 1800s with the proceeds ofthe sale of a single (rather magnificent) pearl.

When the current owners bought the property sevenyears ago, they retained its period charm and beauty butalso modernised it and landscaped the surrounding gar-dens, installing a swimming pool at the front.

“We brought it into the 21st century,” one owner said.There are four bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus a

study or fifth bedroom. With two sons at home, bothunder the age of eight, the owner said the great thingabout the home was that it could be as formal or informal

as one desired. Stunning crystal chandeliers featurethroughout the original part of the home where jarrahfloorboards, intricate ceiling roses, leadlight windows andsoaring ceilings characterise the space.

A drawing room with bay windows overlooking theriver has hosted up to 50 people for a cocktail party, but isequally versatile as a sunlit room in which to read themorning paper.

The rear extension of the home features a large galley-style Caesarstone kitchen with Miele appliances,flanked by a large 7m by 5m dining area.

Bi-fold doors open out to the external entertainingareas from here and a rear lounge room. Outside, there isa pizza oven, gas barbecue and stainless steel sink, plus anexpansive lawn and full-sized children’s playground.

An underground billiard room and cellar is the adults’playground.There is also a huge eight-car garage, whichyou would never guess exists from the front of the prop-erty.The owner believes it may have been used previouslyfor an antique business. ■

The eye mesmerisedTHESE days, it is not uncommon to mistake athree-dimensional computer generated imagefor a photograph of a real building.

Photo-realistic 3D renders, 3D animationand virtual 3D tours are a highly effective visu-al marketing tool, helping promote, market andpre-sell property developments ‘off the plan.’

But Nedlands-based Archicentre WA StateManager Brad Cook warns that marketing canbe misleading to purchasers who don’t fullyunderstand what they are signing on for.

In other words, the view on the brochurecould be a mirage.

“Essentially developers are there to makemoney,” he said.

“Many buyers become mesmerised withwhat developers claim to offer.

“3D pictures look very flash and sophisticat-ed but that’s not really what you end up with.”

Mr Cook said with the current trend to buy‘off the plan’, many buyers were falling into thetrap of signing on the dotted line before theyhad read the fine print on what was included intheir property.

“One of the biggest issues for people is justreading the plan and understanding just what85 square metres of floor space really means inrelation to space, and how the living areas may

connect with service areas such as the bath-room and laundry,” he said.

“It is also important to establish in writingwhat is included in the apartments, such as car-pets and window furnishings or blinds, andwhat is an optional extra.

“Insulation in the apartment, noise barriersfrom neighbouring apartments and doubleglazing on the windows also need to be con-sidered.”

Mr Cook said is was important for buyersto seek independent professional advice toensure that they are well informed as oncethey have signed off on an off the plan proper-ty, it is extremely difficult to reverse the deci-sion when their apartment is built and the finalpayment is required.

As well as offering pre-purchase housinginspections, Archicentre also carry out anincreasing number of off the plan apartmentinspections to provide buyers with an accurateassessment of what they are actually buying.

“The off the plan apartment inspections arewhere the architect would attend the displayunit with the client and help them assess thefloor plan and specifications for the apart-ment,” said Mr Cook.

Keeping a watchon title changesTITLEWATCH provides a fast, easyand economical way to monitor any deal-ings that occur on a nominated Certifi-cate of Title, says Western Australia’s reg-istrar of titles, Bruce Roberts.

The Landgate initiative alerts a proper-ty owner to expected and unexpectedchanges to a nominated title, informingthem of the current status of a dealing,starting at the moment a document islodged with Landgate.

Mr Roberts said a dealing included anyaction against a Certificate of Title andmost commonly included changes ofownership, address and mortgage details,caveats and easements.

Landgate’s system checks all Certifi-cates of Titles twice daily to see if therehas been any action. An updated statusemail will automatically be sent to thesubscriber if there is a status change.

“At the same time, it offers a valuableservice to customers such as accountants,lawyers and real estate agents who canmonitor properties on behalf of clients.”

Builders delighted with ‘dob them in’ campaignsTHEFT and vandalism on buildingsites is a mammoth problem forbuilding companies and can result inmillion dollar losses for some busi-nesses.

But in recent years there had beena steady decline in reported damagesfrom building groups across Perth,and in February 2007, the figurepeaked at 360 reports.

Webb & Brown-Neaves buildingmanager Peter Phur said the intro-duction of the Name and Shamecampaign started in 2003 had gener-

ated a noticeable reduction in theftand vandalism on building sites.

“Partnered with the West Aus-tralian Police and Meridian Investiga-tors, the initiative targets and prose-cutes offenders committing crimesacross our building sites.

“Webb & Brown-Neaves is a bigsupporter of it and it’s been incredi-ble. Since we’ve joined, we’ve noticeda drop in theft of at least 50 per centso, it’s definitely working,” he said

The Name and Shame campaignwas the brainchild of major building

industry bodies, including the Hous-ing Industry Australia. It is complete-ly funded by the industry’s builders,manufacturers, suppliers and landdevelopers.

“You tend to see the newer, devel-oped areas being targeted – placeswith all the building materials,” MrPhur said. “Suburbs where there arestrong building numbers and all thematerials are left on site – thievestend to seek out these suburbsbecause they have a big selection ofmaterials.”

In August 2010, the top five itemstargeted by thieves included lintels,door furniture, timber, doorframesand hardiflex.

There are nearly 90 WA membersin the Name and Shame campaigndedicated to reducing crime onPerth’s building sites, working active-ly to reduce home ownership coststo consumers via the reduction ofbuilding site theft.

As the name suggests, the initiativenames all convicted adult offendersin the hope it will deter further

offences on building sites. The cam-paign also offers substantial rewardsfor information leading to an arrest .

Mr Phur added a new campaign toidentify illegal site dumpers alsoreceived a resounding response.

In a bid to reduce rubbish dump-ing on building sites, the Dob In ADumper campaign also identified ille-gal dumpers. Rewards of up to $200were on hand for information.

Making your back yard beautiful

IS it just me or is there a greater interest inoutdoor entertaining these days?

The humble back yard is no longer just aplace to play with the dog; it has become anextension of the home, allowing for greaterentertaining potential.

I have seen many spectacular homes overthe years and there is no denying that propertyowners are recognising the importance of thisspace and are making room in their budget tomake their back yards not only beautiful butalso functional.

Screenstyle WA specialises in customisingoutdoor screening, fencing, gates and decksthat will add depth, beauty and value to anyproperty.

Its timber and composite decking is perfectfor an alfresco area. Combine it with wickercouches and a lovely water wall and you haveyourself a tranquil hideaway.

All decking products are of high quality andare pre-sealed before installation, ensuringlongevity.

Owner Troy Stockden told Residential deck-ing was a great addition to any back yard as itnot only looked good but was also low-maintenance.

“Breaking up your back yard with deckingand screening can help reduce the need for somuch lawn, which will save time and money onwater but more than that it creates an interestin your yard that people will be envious of,” hesaid.

“With some clever design, areas can be cre-ated to screen out the wind and sun to allowfor softer planting and cooler areas to enjoy inthe middle of a hot summer.

“With water restrictions this has become anecessity.”

Troy said using different materials and sur-faces such as decking, exposed concrete, pavingand lawn would add interest to your entertain-ing space.

“These days it’s all about spending time out-doors and that’s why more people are spendingmore to improve the appearance of their backyard,’’ he said.

“Even though some of the larger projects wework in conjunction with are over and abovethe 200k mark, people still say spending moneyin the back yard is still much better value forcreating living space than a house renovation ormoving.”

Screenstyle WA’s framed bamboo, fern reedor batu privacy screens enhance any settingand add character and style to your entertain-ing area.

Its framed compressed reed panels can beused as a dividing fence and offer an alternativeto a brick or limestone wall.

The company has a diverse range of choicesto help landscapers, designers, renovators andbuilders find options to enhance their projects.

For all your decking, gate and screeningneeds, call Screenstyle WA on 1300 768 684 orvisit www.screenstylewa.com.au. ■
