When extensions and internal renovations call for new load points, digging mass pad footings under existing floors can be messy, slow and labour-intensive.

A great alternative is the All Footing Solution, a fast, effective way to create a new load path.

Rated to over 100kN, it covers the structural requirements of most home renovations and extensions.

For these two pad footings, the crew was in and out within an hour. No full day of digging and prep, no carting away spoil, and no waiting for concrete to cure before loading the footing.

We were straight back into the project. 💪

A butler’s pantry isn’t just about having more storage.

Sometimes, it’s about having somewhere to hide all the stuff that actually lives on your kitchen bench.

The coffee machine.
The toaster.
The microwave.
The rice cooker.
The sandwich press.
The stand mixer.
The food processor.
The air fryer.
The blender.
The kettle.
The SodaStream.

That’s 11 pretty good reasons right there.

A well-designed butler’s pantry can give these everyday appliances a permanent home, ready to use without having to drag them in and out of cupboards.

Which means your main kitchen bench can stay clear for the things it was designed for: preparing food, gathering around and actually using the space.

And yes, occasionally looking suspiciously tidy.

One of the most disappointing parts of planning an extension is investing in a design, only to discover that it will cost far more than expected to build.

That is why we recommend speaking with a builder early.

Before you begin the design process, we can talk through the size and general scope of your extension and provide an initial ballpark figure. It is not a formal quote, but it can help you set realistic expectations and give your designer clearer financial boundaries to work within.

If you have an idea but are unsure whether your budget will stretch far enough, send us a message. We are always happy to have an honest, no-pressure conversation and help you find a sensible place to begin.

Furniture can be rearranged in an afternoon.

A layout that's fighting you takes something more — a builder who looks at the whole home, not just the room that's bothering you.

At Transcend Homes, we redesign the space itself — not just what's in it.

Specialising in extensions and renovations across Geelong, Ballarat, the Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula.

Jackie's home came together through genuine collaboration — between our team, architect Catherine Schurmann, and Jackie herself, each bringing something different to the table, every detail considered. It's the kind of feedback that reminds us why we do this the way we do.

"I felt completely consulted and included in every decision." That's the goal, every time.

Thinking about your own extension or renovation? We'd love to make yours a delight too.
