Kew Home Renovations
THE KEW RENOVATION LANDSCAPE
We've renovated and extended homes on Kew's most beautiful streets for over 15 years. We know the Boroondara heritage overlay inside and out, we understand the council's planning expectations, and we've worked with the architectural fabric of Kew — Edwardian bungalows, California bungalows, Federation villas, and interwar homes — often enough to approach each one with genuine expertise.
If you're a Kew homeowner weighing up renovation options, you're in good hands. We're local, we're experienced, and we care deeply about the quality of work that carries our name in this suburb.
Kew's housing stock is among Melbourne's most architecturally significant — and its Boroondara Council heritage overlays are among the most carefully managed. This creates a renovation environment that rewards expertise and punishes shortcuts. A rear extension that ignores the heritage guidelines can be rejected or required to be demolished. A kitchen renovation that removes original features carelessly can damage heritage value.
At the same time, the typical Kew home — built in the 1910s to 1940s — wasn't designed for open-plan living, large family gatherings, or modern kitchen ergonomics. The demand for thoughtful, sympathetic renovation is as strong here as anywhere in Melbourne.
WHY KEW HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE DYNAMIC BROS
Our directors have renovated homes in this suburb for years. We have established relationships with Boroondara Council, we know which heritage consultants to engage when needed, and we understand the design vernacular that makes a new addition feel like it belongs.
Our Kew projects aren't generic renovations with a suburb name attached. They're considered, site-specific responses to the character of each home — delivered by a team who takes pride in the work they leave behind in their own community.

OUR KEW RENOVATION PROCESS
Step 1 — Heritage Review & Consultation: We begin by reviewing your property's overlay status and discussing your renovation goals with full transparency about what's achievable and how we'd approach it.
Step 2 — Design & Council Engagement: For heritage properties, we develop designs that we're confident will proceed through the planning process. We manage the permit application and keep you informed throughout.
Step 3 — Quality Construction: Our Kew builds are delivered to a standard we're comfortable living next door to. Trades are selected for skill and reliability, and our directors check in regularly throughout the build.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Is my Kew property covered by a heritage overlay?
A: Many Kew properties are covered by Boroondara's Heritage Overlay. We check your property's VicPlan status in our first conversation and advise on how this affects your renovation options.
Q: Can I extend a heritage home in Kew?
A: Yes — in most cases. Well-designed rear and side additions that are sympathetic to the original home are regularly approved by Boroondara Council. The key is design quality and an application that demonstrates sensitivity to the heritage guidelines.
Q: How long does a Kew heritage permit take to process?
A: Most Boroondara planning permits for heritage properties take 8–16 weeks. We factor this into our project timelines from the outset.
THE RISK OF AN UNINFORMED APPROACH
Kew heritage renovations that go wrong are expensive to fix and slow to recover. A planning permit refusal sets the project back months. A heritage objection from a neighbour can stall an approved application. And construction that damages original features — timber floors, original plasterwork, leadlight windows — creates remediation costs that blow budgets badly.
The solution is straightforward: work with a builder who has done it before. In Kew, that's us.

Absolutely thrilled with Oni and the team at Dynamic Bros. We’ve recently renovated our kitchen and living room and we couldn’t be happier with the service and finish. Every tradesman that was on the job was professional, kind and courteous. They made us feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Next year we will use the team again for our bathroom reno.
