Frequently asked questions
Common questions about renovating with Pohjola Constructions.
Do you handle the whole renovation, or just the carpentry?
The whole renovation. Adam manages the entire project, planning the work, bringing in the right trades (plumbing, electrical, waterproofing), and staying across every detail through to the final finish. You deal with one builder, start to finish.
What areas do you cover?
Sydney's Eastern Suburbs and Inner West, Bondi, Coogee, Randwick, Maroubra, Clovelly, Surry Hills and Redfern, plus Glebe, Leichhardt, Marrickville and Newtown. We're based in South Coogee.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Pohjola Constructions holds NSW Building Licence 496908C and is fully insured on every job.
Do you work on apartments and heritage terraces?
Absolutely, full apartment renovations are our specialty, and we work on houses and terraces including heritage-listed properties and homes in heritage conservation areas.
How do you waterproof bathrooms?
All our waterproofing exceeds the NCC (National Construction Code). We go higher than the minimum height up the walls and apply a third waterproofing coat. Where possible we also use the Wedi board system, a premium waterproof board that seals the whole wet area. It gives you peace of mind against expensive leaks down the track, with a barrier that safeguards your home beyond the legal minimum.
How long does a renovation take?
Most projects run around four to five weeks, though it depends on the scope. We'll give you a realistic timeframe as part of your quote.
What are your hours?
Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm, with Saturdays by appointment. Call Adam on 0423 152 854 or send an enquiry any time.
