Builders in Balcatta

Balcatta is an established northern suburb where the housing stock tells you a lot about the local building market -- most of the residential streets were developed through the 1970s and 1980s, and the combination of ageing homes, decent block sizes, and proximity to the city makes renovation and extension work one of the more active areas of residential construction in this part of Stirling.

What keeps Balcatta's building trade busy -- renovations, extensions, and rebuilds

The original homes in Balcatta's residential streets were typically modest three-bedroom brick and tile builds, and a significant number of them are now owned by people who want more out of the property without leaving the area. Rear additions, alfresco enclosures, garage conversions, and full kitchen and bathroom overhauls make up the core of the local building workload. Knock-down rebuilds are also increasingly common on the larger blocks, given what those sites are worth in today's market relative to what it costs to build new.

Builders working in Balcatta typically cover the surrounding suburbs of Stirling, Osborne Park, Gwelup, and Innaloo. The listings below are local operators familiar with the residential building market in this part of Perth's north.
