“Dan was extremely easy to deal with, constantly referring to us for our opinion instead of just bulldozing us with his. His attention to detail and skill was just amazing.”

A Chance to Rebuild History

Originally built in the late 1890s on the banks of the Fitzroy River, this expansive 628m² homestead relocated to Emu Park in the 1980s underwent an award-winning verandah replacement, including the construction of a new 30m² rotunda in keeping with the era of the original homestead.

Features of the work include the use of spotted gum hardwood throughout the verandah flooring, posts, stairs and balustrade; hand-cut spires, customised brackets at the front entry, intricate carpentry in the rotunda ceiling, and a full repaint of the homestead.
