“I really can't say enough good things about Smarter Home Renovations! Tony and Milan were wonderful to deal with.

Thanks again.”
Professional all the way
“We initially talked to Smarter Home Renovations due to their reputation and experience. Plus we were referred to them through someone who had already updated their laundry and they were rapt. Tony was personable, a good listener and made sure he understood our needs. He was very flexible in negotiations, ensuring a win-win outcome. The team were highly professional and excellent communicators making sure the work was completed on schedule and to budget. We now have an attractive and spacious family home which we have no intention of leaving! My wife and I would not hesitate to recommend Tony from Smarter Home Renovations.”
Renovating Homes in Broadmeadows
Broadmeadows is built around one of Melbourne’s largest postwar Housing Commission estates, begun around 1950, with the railway station on Pascoe Vale Road and Hume Central at its heart. The original houses are compact, usually with three bedrooms and one bathroom, and often need insulation and updated services, while newer townhouses and family homes sit on subdivided blocks.
Common projects here are rear extensions with open living, adding a second bathroom or main suite, upgrading insulation, windows and heating, and bringing old wiring and plumbing up to standard. Extensions need a building permit, and some properties are covered by planning overlays, so we check the requirements for your block with Hume City Council first.

Before You Start
What to Plan For When Renovating in Broadmeadows
Permits
Airport Overlay on Some Properties
Some properties in Broadmeadows are covered by the Melbourne Airport Environs Overlay, which manages development in areas affected by aircraft noise. Existing homes don’t have to change, but new dwellings and some works on affected land may need a planning permit and noise attenuation measures. We check your address on VicPlan before design starts.
Structure
Extending Commission-Era Homes
Former Housing Commission homes in Broadmeadows are usually simple rectangular plans with a hipped roof, which makes a rear extension fairly straightforward to join. Floor levels, stumps and the existing roof pitch still need checking. We look at the structure first, so the extension sits level with the house and the old and new roofs drain properly.
Insulation
Insulation and Heating
Many original Broadmeadows homes have little ceiling insulation, none in the walls and single-glazed windows. During a renovation, ceilings can be insulated, opened walls filled and old windows replaced. Efficient reverse-cycle heating and cooling can replace an old gas space heater. Together these upgrades make the house more comfortable all year.
Neighbours
Activity Centre Neighbours
Broadmeadows is a Metropolitan Activity Centre, and planning around the station and Hume Central encourages more housing. Depending on your street, you may see new townhouses or apartments nearby over time. We check your zone and overlays so your extension design suits the rules for your location and accounts for neighbouring buildings.
Asbestos
Asbestos and Old Services
Broadmeadows homes built before 1990 may contain asbestos in the eaves, wet areas, cladding or floor coverings, and original wiring and galvanised pipes are common. We arrange testing before demolition, plan licensed removal where it is needed and include any electrical and plumbing upgrades in the written quote, so the costs are clear upfront.

Do I need a planning permit to extend my Broadmeadows home?
It depends on your block. Many single-storey extensions need only a building permit, but a planning permit may be required on smaller lots or where an overlay, such as the Melbourne Airport Environs Overlay, applies. We check your zone and overlays with Hume City Council before design.
Can we add a second bathroom to our Broadmeadows home?
Usually, yes. A second bathroom or ensuite can often go in a rear extension, a converted bedroom or part of the laundry. We check the drainage connections and whether that part of the house is on stumps or a slab, and arrange any building permit before work starts.
Can we stay at home while we extend?
For most Broadmeadows rear extensions, yes. The new rooms are built at the back while you live in the front, and the house is only opened up to join old and new near the end. Kitchen and bathroom work or rewiring may need short periods away. We plan the stages with you.
Should we renovate our Broadmeadows home before selling?
It depends on your plans and the house. Broadmeadows buyers include families wanting a home ready to live in and others mainly interested in the land, so a large spend before sale may not suit. Painting, repairs, fixing leaks and tidying the garden usually help. An extension takes months of design and approvals, so it is better suited to owners who will live there.
