Luxury Bathroom Renovations & Ensuites

The Design Eye behind every bathroom

A bathroom hides nothing. A living room can mask flaws with furniture. Your bathroom puts every joint, every fitting, every surface on full display for decades. This is where our precision shows most.

The Design Eye is a quality standard set by co-founder Myrthe Nitzsche, an Honours-qualified Interior Architect. The culture she built carries through every project. Our build team works hand-in-hand with the design intent, refining and improving throughout construction.

  • Grout line continuity. Lines run unbroken from wall to floor, across niches, around corners, between shower and main floor. Mapped before tiling begins.
  • Silicon colour. Most builders leave silicon to the tiler’s default white. We pick silicon to sit beside tile and grout, treating every joint as a design element.
  • Visible pipe concealment. Pipes that will show in the finished bathroom get flagged during rough-in. The last stage where rerouting, boxing, or recessing is still on the table.
  • Fixture alignment. Towel rails, shower niches, toilet paper holders, soap dishes. All set against tile joints, so the wall reads with intention, not random placement.
  • Level-entry showers. Drainage fall, waterproofing membrane, and tile layout planned together so the threshold disappears cleanly.

Managing the trades that make or break your ensuite

A luxury bathroom needs at least four specialist trades. Waterproofer, plumber, electrician, tiler. Plus the builder for framing, linings, and finishing. In a compact space, each trade’s work shapes the next. The plumber’s rough-in controls where pipes show. The waterproofer’s membrane decides whether the floor survives five years. The tiler’s layout determines grout alignment.

When coordination breaks down, the damage hides behind tiles and under floors. Failed waterproofing stays invisible until it’s catastrophic. Misaligned fixtures can’t move once tiling’s done.

We run sequencing through a dedicated foreman with quality checkpoints between every trade handoff. The foreman inspects and signs off each trade’s work before the next one starts. The Design Eye standard holds at every stage, so the finished bathroom reads as intentional precision.

Waterproofing backed by a 10-year warranty

Waterproofing is the single most critical checkpoint in a bathroom renovation. Failure stays invisible once tiles are laid. And catastrophic when it surfaces.

We work only with specialist-certified waterproofers we’ve vetted ourselves. Every membrane is inspected, photographed, and signed off before tiling begins. A permanent record of exactly what sits behind your finished walls and floors. Level-entry showers carry the highest risk. We verify membrane continuity at every junction, threshold, and floor penetration.

Every bathroom is delivered under the Certified Builders contract with the Halo 10-Year Guarantee. Structural defects including waterproofing failure are covered for a full decade. Before handover, we walk every project for 100% satisfaction. Anything we find, we resolve. Twelve months after completion, we come back to check for settling, grout movement, or issues that surface with daily use.

Early specification clears ensuite cost surprises

Most bathroom blowouts happen the same way. A builder prices tiles at $50 to $80 per square metre. Midway through, you pick a $120 tile. Tapware allowances set at $400 get swapped for $1,600 designer options. Each selection adds thousands. The budget shifts without warning.

We solve this with early specification. Kate Gardham presents curated options for every bathroom element before construction starts. Tapware, tiles, grout colour, silicon colour, bath, toilet, vanity, towel rails. We structure options as A (budget), B (mid-range), and C (high-end), then load them into the CoConstruct portal. You select, and the budget updates in real time.

When every fitting is specified early, contingency shrinks because the unknowns disappear. The budget becomes exact, line by line. Every selection is a deliberate choice.
