Building and renovating can be stressful at the best of times, poor planning, budget blowouts, timeline overruns and working with someone who is unresponsive or doesn’t communicate will only add to that stressful experience.
It doesn’t have to be, if you choose the right builder and team then it can be a seamless and enjoyable experience. See what past clients have said about Glenn and the team.

Canterbury Project

"Glenn is a perfectionist which we appreciate, and he wanted things done properly to make sure it was not just beautiful, but substantial and won't give us any problems in the future".

"We were confident in Glenn from the beginning. We liked his manner, he was a very good communicator, and we trusted he was an honest person."

"Glenn paid a lot more attention to detail than we expected of a builder, which was very comforting."

"We received positive feedback from neighbors that their experience with Glenn and his tradespeople was very positive; they were well-mannered and considerate."

"Glenn was never fazed and always solution-oriented, always having a practical way of overcoming problems."
​
"Glenn made what is inherently a fairly challenging experience as smooth as possible."

"We would certainly recommend K2 Homes to anyone."

Canterbury Project Transformation

This beautiful 1920's Edwardian situated in the leafy suburb of Canterbury was well and truly in need of a makeover.

With typical large open rooms and high ceilings of that era, we had the pleasure of being able to fully renovate this home including the addition of a new master ensuite.

Working once again with Teresa from Embracing Space who created all the joinery and finishing selections we were able to achieve the clients brief and bring this dated family home to life once again.

Sandringham Project

You see some renovations and they're a bit fast and furious but I don't feel like anything was done like that in our house. It feels like real care was taken.

It's amazing, I can't believe how good it is and how well it's achieved the brief we set out.

It exceeded my expectations in just about every way. From the communication to the end result, I'm really really happy.

It was actually WOW! The attention to detail was beautiful.

It felt like Glenn and Teresa really wanted it to be brilliant.

Everybody wanted the best outcome possible

Sandringham Transformation

With a bold blue kitchen, exposed brick walls, curved elements, and restored heritage features, every inch of this project is a reflection of our commitment to producing the highest quality of work.
​
The brief for this renovation was to restore the character-filled, existing features of the home while introducing more light into central living spaces and making these more functional for everyday use.

Bringhton Project

"The flexibility worked for me"

"I met with four builders,and of all the builders that I met with, Glenn was the only one that actually came with some paperwork and a series of questions"

"What struck me was he asked me ‘what was more important? Quality or budget?’, and I looked at it and thought, well actually both are important, but I also said fundamentally quality was really important"

"I like that he came to our meeting prepared"

"It was a pleasant surprise, not so much about the amount. But what I appreciated was the detail. And I then felt that I was dealing with a person who would do his due diligence, and if was going to do his due diligence with the quote, he was going to do his due diligence with the project"
​
"Yes I would recommend Glenn, and yes I would use him again if I was doing another project"

Bringhton Project Transformation

This small, compact renovation in Brighton was completed back in 2020 and ended up being a fun and interesting build for our team.
 
The original 'Victorian' style home was built back in 1864 and had previously had some minor work done. This latest renovation focused on the rear living area and kitchen area where we introduced a lot more light and openness in what was once a dark and tight space. We also redesigned the main bathroom and turned a storage space into a master ensuite. 

The entire rear floor was also completely rebuilt as it was found that the existing floor structure was in fact sitting in the dirt. Over the top of the new floor we laid a lovely new engineered floor.

The scope, design and finishes had to fit in with the clients budget. The end result was a clean, modern renovation with simple design, functionality and finishes, all while being able to tick the clients boxes.

John & Philippa

​“We just feel so much happier coming into the house, it’s just made such a difference to the way we live in the house”

“We could see he was very well organised and that takes away a lot of the stress”

“the workers he used were very pleasant, there was no problem with any of them, I felt safe”

“if things needed to be done which weren’t in the original plan Glenn always came to us and I knew what the cost was going to be before we gave the ok, that meant the end cost wasn’t a surprise”

“When there were problems, Glenn came and talked to us and we managed to resolve them before it became an issue timeline wise so it didn’t cause a problem at the end”

Brighton

With our proven 7-step framework, K2 Homes delivered John and Philippa’s architectural renovation in the Bayside suburb of Brighton. We brought an old and shabby 1980’s brick veneer shell into the modern era. We gave it a complete face-lift and huge street appeal, which also improved the properties re-sale value. John and Philippa have fallen in love again with the fresh new look of their family home.
​
The newly constructed front fence clad in beautiful horizontal double step profile cedar cladding gave John and Philippa added privacy and security. Behind the fence, the new paved walkway is framed by massive spotted gum beams that draw you into the new raised front entrance and continuing through the front door 
onto the newly constructed deck area that has created a quiet and private outdoor space for the family to host and enjoy dinner parties.

In keeping with the face-lift, we have installed new windows upstairs and replaced the old lining board cladding with foam and render complementing the different cladding systems with contrast in colour and texture. Scyon matrix in brick bond panels now cover the entire front façade downstairs. A new expanded driveway and a new garage door have brought this old family home to life and created a home that John and Philippa take pride in coming home to.

​​Here is John and Philippa had to say when we handed over the project:

South Yarra

This South Yarra apartment renovation was not a typical project that we have taken on in the past, but as it came from a referral and the clients values aligned with ours, we happily accepted.
​
While not being a highly spec’d job, this project required strong project management and a clear understanding of the client’s needs and budget.

Being the top floor apartment in a building with a Body Corporate, communication and time management were crucial in being able to allow trades to do their work with minimal disruptions to the building’s residents.

Excellent job scheduling, constant communication, and our trusted professionals allowed for a very satisfied client.
