HEAR FROM OUR CLIENTS

In order to find a company to do the renovations on my 110 year old Edwardian Workers Cottage in inner western Melbourne, I did a lot of research.

I found Room4, and they seemed competent. But they were much better than competent. Peter and Michael explained all steps and aspects of the renovation process, including the likely problems we could find. They went out of their way to assist me, and they kept me informed in detail. They aimed for excellent quality while keeping to my budget. Their suggestions were always clever and helpful.

I am so happy with the results, and my house is much more functional and modern, but still works in terms of keeping its cultural identity. I would recommend Room4.
Peter & RoomFour team has been incredible to work with. We've worked in collaboration in the past and delivered amazing projects together. Quick responses & attention to detail has helped clients have good reassurance and trust with Peter. I would always recommend them as a builder. As an interior designer, it's always hard to find good builders to execute your design for you, but Roomfour has exceeded my expectations of quality & good craftmanship!
RoomFour renovated my entire existing home and constructed the extension to full specifications from my designer while guiding the transition from old to new. The quality is exceptional, I couldn’t be happier.
Peter and Michael from RoomFour were great to work with. They communicated well, were clear about what work would be done and were accommodating with allowing us to pay over the period of the build. Nice blokes too.
Peter really helped us with a great service for our new home, even though we had a few hiccups from our end, we got the job done to a high standard.
Couldn't be happier with my home extension. Professional job by the guys at Room Four.
Peter and the team have been so great throughout our entire renovation process. Incredibly friendly and proffesional, attention to detail was amazing and nothing was a problem. Thanks heaps guys! Highly recommend.
Peter went out of his way to help with the designs for our joinery and choose a finish that looked amazing all within our budget. The tradesmen on site were so helpful and friendly and took pride in their work. Could not be happier with the results.
The service provided by RoomFour was incredible from start to finish. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for a home, kitchen or bathroom revamp in the Melbourne area.

faq

The cost of building an architectural home in Glen Eira varies significantly, reflecting the region’s diverse property market and demand for quality. Factors such as design complexity, site conditions (e.g., heritage considerations, sloping blocks), material selections, and the level of finishes all play a role. While a general starting point might be $4,500 to $10,000+ per square metre, luxury custom builds in Glen Eira often command higher investments due to premium finishes, bespoke features, and advanced sustainability inclusions. We provide detailed, transparent quotes after understanding your specific project and site.

This depends heavily on your existing Glen Eira property and your project goals. For many of Glen Eira’s period homes, a renovation or extension can be a fantastic way to modernise and add space while preserving character, potentially offering a more cost-effective solution than a new build if the existing structure is sound. However, a new custom build provides complete design freedom and can be more efficient for achieving specific layouts or sustainable performance targets. We’ll assess your Glen Eira property and provide a clear comparison to help you make an informed decision.

Building a Passive House in Glen Eira typically involves an initial investment 10-15% higher than a conventional luxury build. This is due to the specialised design, high-performance materials, and precise construction techniques required for superior insulation, airtightness, and ventilation. However, this upfront cost is significantly offset by dramatically reduced long-term energy bills, enhanced comfort, and a smaller environmental footprint, making it a wise and increasingly popular investment in Glen Eira.

Architect charges for a Glen Eira project can vary based on the scope and complexity of your design. They are typically a percentage of the total construction cost or a fixed fee. Engaging an architect early is highly recommended for Glen Eira homes, particularly those in heritage overlays or with unique site challenges, as their expertise ensures optimal design, council compliance, and maximises the value of your property. We can connect you with experienced architectural partners who understand the Glen Eira market.
