Real Sydney homes delivered by the Vivo Homes team.
You like the suburb, the schools, the life you have built around this postcode. But the home has stopped keeping up.
You’ve done the numbers on selling: stamp duty, agent fees, moving costs, and the price of buying back into the same area.`
At VIVO Homes, we help Sydney homeowners renovate and extend. We provide clear guidance before they commit.
Before you sign anything, we help you understand what’s possible. We’ll discuss what approvals you may need, likely costs, and whether the investment fits your home and budget.
That is how a renovation should begin.
We look at the bigger picture
That early thinking matters, because most renovation problems begin before construction starts: the wrong scope, the wrong allowances, the wrong approval assumptions, or the wrong builder who said yes too quickly.
VIVO Homes was built to do things in the right order
Sandra spent 18 years working through Sydney’s planning and approvals system before VIVO Homes built its first project, handling hundreds of residential applications across councils including the Hills District, Penrith, Hawkesbury and the North West Sydney growth corridors.
That experience matters when your renovation involves:
Sandra helps identify potential approval issues before they become expensive surprises.
Bill has supervised more than 1,000 residential construction projects in Sydney, and he remains actively involved in every VIVO Homes renovation and extension.
Your renovation is not handed off to people who were never part of the original conversation. You know who is responsible, who to call, and who protects the standard.
That kind of continuity matters when you are renovating the home your family still lives in. Bill has never handed a VIVO project to someone who wasn’t part of the original site assessment.
“I’ve seen what happens when a builder wins the job with a low number and then makes the margin back through variations. That is not how we operate. We would rather have the honest cost conversation up front than surprise people halfway through their renovation.”.
The goal is simple: identify the unknowns early so there are fewer surprises later. Because certainty begins long before construction starts.

Most renovation problems are not construction problems. They are planning problems, scoping problems, communication problems. Problems that began before a single wall was touched.
We believe the right builder should make the early decisions less stressful, not more.
A custom home designed around the way your family lives.

“Every other builder talked in estimates. Vivo Homes gave us a fixed, itemised and transparent price, and they never changed it. Our granny flat is performing exactly as planned.”

The cost depends on several factors:
Vivo Homes provides pricing based on your specific home, site, and scope. This is more realistic than a generic square-metre estimate. Get a true cost before making big decisions.
Home extension costs depend on several factors. These factors include the size of the addition, whether you need structural work, and the condition of your home. Site access, approval requirements, and your chosen finishes also play a role. A ground-floor extension and a second-storey addition have different engineering needs. So, starting with a feasibility assessment is the best way to find a realistic cost range.
Yes, subject to your property’s structural requirements and applicable planning controls. The first step is to determine whether the proposed addition is suitable for your existing home and whether it can proceed through CDC or requires a DA.
That depends on your current home, location, budget and long-term plans. Renovating makes sense if you love your area and can adapt your home well. Moving can make more sense if the home has big issues or if the needed renovations aren’t worth it. A feasibility chat helps you weigh your options before starting plans or building.
Vivo Homes renovates and extends homes throughout Sydney. They focus on the Hills District, North West Sydney, North Shore, and Northern Beaches. They also cover nearby areas like Castle Hill, Cherrybrook, Pennant Hills, Beecroft, and Carlingford.
