About The Service
Do you love your Canberra heritage home’s character but feel it struggles to keep up with modern life?
Many Canberra homeowners in suburbs across Canberra live in homes constructed between the 1920s and 1950s. These houses often feature red-brick façades, timber joinery, high ceilings, art deco or Georgian influences and classic verandahs.
Yet decades later, these heritage homes can feel constraining... narrow hallways, small kitchens, poor insulation, and plumbing or wiring that doesn’t meet current standards. Add to that the complexities of heritage home approvals in the ACT, matching period details, and knowing which parts to preserve, and it’s easy to feel stuck.
If you’re asking, “How do I restore my home’s heritage features while making it live better for today?” or “Which parts of this home are protected under ACT heritage laws?”, you’re in the right place.
At Quality Built Co, we specialise in renovating heritage houses in Canberra with sensitivity, respect and craftsmanship. We help you modernise layouts, integrate contemporary amenities, improve energy efficiency, and restore period features, all while navigating heritage constraints and approvals.

Heritage home restorations with modern liveability
Balancing preservation and functionality so your home works beautifully for now and next generations
Renovating a heritage house isn’t the same as a standard renovation, it requires respect for the past and skill to blend new elements seamlessly.
With decades of combined experience, we know how to navigate approvals, match period details and integrate modern systems. Whether it’s restoring timber floors, refreshing home facades, or opening interiors for modern living, our approach ensures your home feels both authentic and functional.
From sourcing appropriate materials to coordinating with local Canberra heritage requirements and permits, we take care of the details so you can enjoy a smooth process and a beautiful result.

We work with heritage consultants and local authorities to ensure your renovation meets ACT Heritage Register requirements.
Heritage renovation is part art, part science. A well-executed period home restoration requires understanding local architectural styles, respecting heritage precinct rules, and knowing when new and old should merge or gently contrast.
Our restoration process includes: Heritage analysis & conservation planning, identifying protected elements, drafting Conservation Management Plans (CMPs).
Façade and masonry repair, matching original brick, mortar, or stone. Timber and joinery restoration, repairing or replicating sash windows, skirtings, cornices. Sensitive additions, modern extensions or interiors designed to complement, not overshadow.
Upgrades to insulation, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, discreetly integrated so they don’t detract from heritage character. Approval navigation — dealing with ACT Heritage Council, heritage precinct overlays and council planning rules
