Renovation & Extension Experts in Preston
Preston is one of Melbourne's classic inner-north suburbs — a mix of Californian bungalows, weatherboard workers' cottages and post-war brick homes on established, tightly-built streets. Many homeowners here are less interested in moving and more interested in making the home they already have work better: more light, more space, and a layout that suits how they actually live now.
Transform Homes is a registered builder (CDB‑U50207) working across Melbourne's northern suburbs, including Preston, and we bring the same fixed-price, project-managed process to every renovation, extension and design & build project we take on.
Why Transform Homes in Preston
Preston's older housing stock often means dealing with things a project on a blank block never has to: existing footings, changes of level, party walls, narrow side access, and homes that have already been added onto once before. Getting this right takes a builder who's comfortable working within an existing structure, not just building new.
Our design & build approach means we're involved early — looking at your site's constraints (access, existing services, heritage or planning overlays where they apply) alongside your brief, so the design that goes to council is one we know can actually be built to the budget discussed.
What we build in Preston
- Renovations & extensions — kitchen and living area upgrades, second-storey additions, rear extensions that open a period home up to the backyard, and full home renovations that keep the street-facing character while modernising everything behind it
- New homes — where a knockdown rebuild makes more sense than renovating
- Design & build — for homeowners who want one team responsible from concept design through to council approval and construction
Our process, wherever you're building
Every Transform Homes project follows the same structured path: an initial discovery conversation at your home, a preliminary estimate before detailed design begins, design and selections, a fixed price proposal and contract, construction with fortnightly site meetings and weekly written updates, and a full handover pack at completion. You have 24/7 access to our project management system throughout, so you always know where your build stands.
Yes. Preston is within Transform Homes' service area across Melbourne's northern suburbs.

Yes. Every project moves through a preliminary estimate first, followed by a fixed price proposal and contract once the design and selections are confirmed — so there's a locked-in price before construction starts.
Yes. Every Transform Homes build has a project manager, with ongoing contact from owners Greg or Clive from the first conversation through to handover.
