SLR Concepts – Still ‘on the job’, working within the rules.

SLR Concepts Building and Construction is continuing to build and develop new projects in Bayside Melbourne. Working within the guidelines provided by the Victorian State Government to the Construction industry, we are commencing a new large renovation in Port Melbourne as well as continuing with our Apartment complex being constructed in St Kilda.

Several other projects are also ready to go. Right now there is a real opportunity to plan your future and schedule a renovation, a rebuild or a complete strata title build – Units, Townhouses or Apartments. With 6 weeks of time available, now is a great time to prepare permits, submit them and ensure all relevant planning and paperwork.

SLR Concepts utilise modern construction methodologies and clever engineering. This ensures minimal labour is required and often facilitates a greater use of space providing open plan living and superior natural light.

Sitting at home, now is the time to look around and consider your living situation. For many people who have either paid off their home (mortgage) or hold major equity in their property, a major renovation can often be comfortably achieved.

Older properties can be claustrophobic with narrow passageways and smaller rooms. Window are standard, lighting basic. Imagine opening up your living areas to provide real space. Open space living with living area adjoining a dining and living room into one large open space, larger bathrooms, perhaps a second storey addition. It is ‘the art of the possible’.

Renovations of this type will add significant value to your property. If you are looking to sell and move into retirement or simply adopt a seachange in your lifestyle, having a home that is renovated and complete, ready for a family to move into with all modern living requirements is a definite bonus. Your Real Estate Agent will simply love you. Alternatively, you can stay and enjoy the lifestyle you’ve always wanted and thoroughly deserve.

New Apartment Block in Blessington St now well underway with SLR Concepts

SLR Concepts Building and Construction Construction are erecting a new apartment building in St Kilda on Blessington St. The project is progressing well, so we thought we’d give you a rundown to the current stage – completion of the foundations, major piles, the car-stacker pit and all services such as sewerage, water, electricity and drainage.

Last week the deep piles extending into the subsoil were fixed and the concrete poured. The entire building relies on these piles (or piers) for its structural integrity. Block walls and further concrete foundations have been completed this week.

It’s a difficult site – Blessington St is a narrow street. To ensure the safety of motorists and pedestrians, SLR Concepts provide traffic controllers on the street whilst the concrete is pumped from the ready-mix trucks right across the site.

Seachange or Treechange? A vision for the future with SLR Concepts.

With time for reflection, it’s worth considering the possibilities available to property owners to assist in creating a more enjoyable living space to improve your home, and potentially its capitalisation with genuine improvement on your primary asset – the family home.

Whilst spending time at home during these uncertain times, often the inadequacies of your living situation become very obvious. Older homes can be quite claustrophobic. Most rarely extend over 30 squares in size, the majority being between 20-25 squares.

With many middle aged Australians having generally paid the majority of their current mortgage or owning their homes outright, it’s an excellent time to consider what opportunities lay ahead for them.

Many older homes constructed from 1950 to 1990 are valued at land value plus. This means the actual dwelling has depreciated in value over the years whilst the land value has generally accelerated and increased.

When retirement is in sight, say in the next 10 years, it’s really sensible to start considering how you wish to live for those Golden Years.

For many, it’s going to be a ‘Seachange’ or ‘Treechange’ decision. A new home with all the benefits of modern engineering, building and construction. Climate controlled with central heating and cooling. A data driven home with multi-media and electronic controls. Spacious with large bi-fold doors, feature windows and magnificent views. Lap pools, swimming pools and a spa. Big open bathrooms with feature stone finishes. And a magnificent indoor/outdoor living area with spacious kitchen, outdoor barbecue and glorious space to move in and enjoy.

But to achieve this, your current family home must be marketed. Will it achieve the return you require to build your dream home amongst the trees or by the bay? What is the best strategy to maximise your return? It could be some simple renovations if the home is suitable. In other cases, it may require a full knock-down, a demolition.

Where feasible, based on property equity and ownership, suitability and local bylaws, there is a possibility of constructing Town House enclaves, Apartments or Strata Units, thus greatly magnifying your financial return.

To really understand your options, it is highly advisable to consult with experts in building and construction. Select a company with a verifiable track record of success in such projects.

SLR Concepts Building and Construction is the right ‘go to’ choice here. With extensive experience both in Metropolitan Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula and the near Yarra Valley and outer east of Melbourne, SLR Concepts can develop a successful ‘end to end’ project that will ultimately succeed in landing your dream home.

Why not schedule an appointment with the SLR Concepts team and discuss the options available now? Call 03 5981 0661 during business hours to convene a suitable time. Virtual conferencing is available on Skype, FB Messenger or other mediums if you desire.

Make the right decisions for your future. Start the process now. Ensure that your vision for the future is achievable and rewarding. Call SLR now or leave your details here for a prompt reply.

Easter – The Holiday Home – Now is the time to plan for the future.

With the Easter Holiday upon us we would normally be heading to the beach or countryside for the annual Easter Break – the last respite before winter sets in. But not this year – for many it’s simply remain at home and continue with ‘self isolation’ – a time to reflect.

There is a real opportunity here. As the restrictions are removed no doubt we will again enjoy the family beach house and outdoors again. But right now is a very good time to plan for the next decade and refurbish, renovate or renew your beach residence or rural retreat.

Many homes with beachside locations and views on the Mornington Peninsula are of a vintage that cries out for complete renovation or renewal. Holiday homes built in the 1950s, ‘60s or ‘70s probably do not meet normal building standards required today.

That’s the bad news. The good news is that a coastal block with ocean views is a very valuable asset, Bayside even more so.

Look to the future. Is this to be your place to refresh and renew and to ultimately retire to? Is it up to standard?

If the answer is no, then its a great time to contact SLR Concepts Building and Construction to commence either a renovation or a full rebuild program.

Modern building techniques offer space, comfort and a unique approach to taking full advantage of your environment. Full indoor/outdoor living areas with kitchen/barbecue facilities. Swimming pools, lap pools or spas. Climate control, solar systems, water saving and much more. Luxury? Perhaps but it’s really just the current standard expected by those building new homes. The standard you can enjoy in your ‘forever’ home. The facilities that will provide a wonderful retreat for you and your family for the next twenty years.

So take this opportunity to book a consultation with SLR Concepts Building and Construction to understand what is possible. Change your lives and enjoy the very best in modern living. Call 03 5981 0661 or leave your details here. Online conferencing can be arranged if this proves to be convenient – via Skype, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger or similar.

Start the process now and by next summer you too can be enjoying a fabulous new home designed and created by SLR Concepts. Turn your vision into reality.

SLR Concepts – they’re simply the best.

Build a future with SLR Concepts Building and Construction

Contemplating building a new home? The land has been purchased. The demolition of an older dwelling approved and scheduled. Now is the time to engage a professional experienced builder, a builder who knows the twists and turns of creating new luxury homes – the planning permits, the best modern building and engineering techniques. It’s time to call SLR Concepts Building and Construction.

SLR Concepts will ensure you achieve the very best possible result for your vision of the future. The SLR Concepts team will provide the drawings, the plans and the expertise to take full advantage of your property. Whether it’s building upwards to multi storey or creating an underground garage – it’s all possible with SLR Concepts.

For those who own or have purchased a substantial suburban or semi-rural block in locations like the outer east of Melbourne, Beachside suburbs or the Mornington Peninsula, there are real options available to you. Many locations now permit multiple dwellings on larger blocks – Dual Occupancy, Apartments, Townhouse and Unit development. Your SLR consultant can advise you on what might be suitable, what costs are involved and what will work best for you and your family.

Ensure that what you build meets your expectations and requirements. Large open spaces, feature windows and expansive bi-fold doors are all regular features of modern building techniques. Water Saving, Solar Energy, Data Connections and Climate Control are now standard with SLR Concepts Building and Construction, utilised in all constructions.

Your new home will be a sustainable dwelling, but it will also be luxurious, comfortable and enjoyable. Modern design combined with functionality is the SLR Concepts standard.

SLR Concepts Building and Construction deliver on their promises – on time and on budget. Take the time to meet with their experienced team. You’ll be glad you did.

Building for the future with SLR Concepts. Gain real space and comfort now.

This will be the last year of the family’s High School education. The eldest have already left home and are saving for their own homes now. The house seems rather empty without them. Its time to plan for the future. The question is what is the best alternative – downsizing, renovation or perhaps a subdivision of sorts?

For many in this situation, the family home is their major asset. Now located in an established suburb with all relevant services, schools and retail shopping available and convenient, the property represents a desirable location.

But the reality is in many cases, the dwelling is in fact a light of other days. Small living areas, large lawn and garden areas, pokey bathrooms, dark, low light – built in the 1950s, ‘60s or ‘70s. ultimately the question becomes one of capitalisation. By renovating, does the property retain value or increase in value, or is it simply overcapitalisation?

Home owners have a raft of options. Certainly a modern renovation can provide an excellent solution. With the addition of extensions, a second storey and functional indoor-outdoor living areas, an older property can be transformed. In Bayside suburbs and in Melbourne’s outer east, this can be a comfortable alternative, which creates a modern functional home. Living areas can be opened up, folding doors giving access to purpose built entertainment areas with a fully equipped kitchen and barbecue facility.

But realistically many older homes of that vintage have served their useful lifetime. It’s time for a knockdown and consideration of what alternatives are available.

For some it will be dual occupancy. Create two dwellings on the large block or if permitted up to 6 Townhouses. The owners retain one dwelling and either sell the other dwelling or townhouses – or receive an income stream via rental. Or perhaps simply build an Apartment block, sell off the plan then purchase a new property elsewhere and build your ‘forever’ home.

Such decisions rely on experience and expertise. The expertise of a competent builder with a verifiable track record in such transformations. SLR Concepts Building and Construction can take your vision for the future and create a superb new luxury home. Alternatively, the SLR Concepts team can advise you the client on your best course of action, be it Dual Occupancy, Apartments, Units or Townhouse development.

Then again, you may desire to stay exactly where you are, but enjoy the benefits of a complete renovation – not just a makeover. Modern building techniques and engineering can enable a design that provides much greater expanded living space. Modern lighting, climate control. Data systems that harmonise all aspects of modern living. Care free, sustainable, luxury living.

Call SLR Concepts now on 03 5981 0661 to arrange a free no-obligation consultation to assist you in determining your future direction and building needs. Ensure you gain maximum leverage on your existing property. Plan a future that rewards you with the luxury and comfort you deserve.

Step into the Future with SLR Concepts Building and Construction.

Living bayside in Melbourne has many advantages. The beach, the moderate weather, the greenery and parks, cafés, outdoor living. But what about your actual home? Is it time to rebuild? To renovate? To add another storey?

Perhaps it’s the right time to completely re-visit your living situation. Today, building and construction techniques mean open space, indoor/outdoor living with significant entertaining areas. Solar power, water conservation, climate control – it’s all entirely possible.

Older homes are often constructed with internal walls creating structural support. Right through the 20th Century until the early 1990s this was the norm. Then with steel fabrication, concrete piers and modern truss-work, the shift was on. No more ‘boxy’ small rooms.

Now that the kids have grown up and moved on, as ‘empty nesters’ it’s time to consider your own comfort. Why not aim for a better quality of life? There are many options. Dual Occupancy can provide a new dwelling for the property owner as well as an income source from the rental of a second dwelling.

Some properties may simply not be worth renovating, yet the land value due to its size, local zoning and location lends itself to strata title developments such as Town Houses, Apartments or Unit Developments. Owners of the properties can then move into a more comfortable living situation.

Alternatively, in selected suburbs, whether it is a period home, heritage property or simply a sound and attractive construction, the option may be to extend, to renovate and to modernise. Second storey extensions on 1930s to ‘50s housing stock can add real value to your property. Or tastefully add a rear extension with swimming pool and a full outdoor entertainment area with sliding glass doors and full outdoor kitchen and barbecue area.

Call SLR Concepts Building and Construction now on 03 5981 0661 for a free, no-obligation consultation on what your options may be. SLR Concepts have a fine track record in all areas of building, construction renovation and extensions as has been described, and can provide a strong insight into likely costings, schedules and statutory requirements for any building project that you may be considering.

It’s time to redefine your lifestyle and comfort. Call SLR Concepts on 03 5981 066, or alternatively, leave your details here for a prompt reply.

Inner City Living in St Kilda – State of the Art Apartment Complex – Construction Begins

20 Blessington St building facade

Located in old St Kilda – at 20 Blessington St, just west of Barkly St, is SLR Concepts Building and Construction’s latest project – a modern new apartment block to be completed in the next 12 months.

In a sought after location, the new complex offers access to St Kilda’s famous Acland St and Barkly St dining and nightlife, yet is a quick 10 minute walk to the beach, the St Kilda Marina, the nearby Botanical Gardens, the Renfrey Reserve and the Peanut Farm Reserve. Lifestyle, excellent public transport and simply spectacular apartments. This is special!

Foyer view

The new apartment building will be 3 levels high with two retail locations available on the ground floor level. This will be combined with 4 two bedroom apartments, with off-street parking, a private lift for access and a spectacular rooftop garden. Architect designed by Idle Architecture Studio, this will be a fully enclosed and sustainable building offering excellent security.

Stage One of the project will see the set-up of all underground services, bored piers, footings, excavation and completion of the car stacker pit and all ground floor concrete works.

Kitchen render

Upon completion of this stage, the base elevation (RL levels) will be situated and confirmed. Concrete works will have been completed. At this point the next stage will then proceed.

This is an interesting site with somewhat limited access. It requires a level of building expertise and a variation on normal construction protocols.
