Our period restoration solutions
Restoration requires sensitivity, accuracy, and respect for traditional craftsmanship
At Karri Building Group, we combine the warmth and integrity of traditional craftsmanship with modern building techniques, delivering restoration work that preserves original features and enhances modern living. Restoration goes beyond aesthetic solutions, considering moisture management, structural integrity, and sensitive, lasting upgrades.
As a Director of the Heritage Skills Association, Chris Miller of Karri Building Group is a strong advocate for the preservation of heritage architecture and supporting the development of traditional trade skills in WA.

Before and After Transformation
Our skilled team delivers top-quality work on every home restoration. Each transformation adds lasting value, turning ordinary spaces into something truly special.
Ceiling Restoration
Location: Mayanup
We used modern building techniques to restore these gorgeous Art Deco-era ceilings. We carefully lifted and secured the ceilings and repaired the plaster, preserving a unique piece of WA history for years to come.

Hallway Renovation
Location: Maranup
We revived this circa 1905 home’s entry hall, repairing walls and ceilings, restoring the decorative arch, and adding colonial cornices and ceiling roses. The final result is a grand entryway that showcases the home’s period elegance.

our approach
Careful coordination for complex restoration work.
We take a personalised approach to heritage works and period restoration. Your period home is unique, and a testament to timeless craftsmanship. For true longevity, heritage or period home renovations must consider structural and maintenance needs, not just aesthetic upgrades. We consider moisture management, structural integrity and sustainable upgrades.
Renovation can involve multiple stages and services. We coordinate timelines, trades, and on-site activity to keep your project running smoothly and efficiently. Your renovation is delivered with a focus on understanding your vision, respect for your home, and careful planning to ensure the process is as hassle-free as possible.
