Wanting to provide a lighter, warmer and more spacious facility for their elderly residents, IQ Construction was engaged in doing extensive commercial renovation works that opened up lounge and dining areas, brought in large volumes of natural light and created an atrium space for a tranquil internal garden.
As we fast approach the end of 2023, we just want to thank everyone for their support and commitment over the past year. Construction in Perth was a challenge again this year with a volatile market, skills, material and labor shortages and an ever-changing regulatory environment. So, thank you to all our wonderful clients for your patience and support.
Requiring some much-needed TLC and a face lift, IQ Construction was engaged by the SJ Shire to deliver the changes required to the local community hall. Improving access, openings, door widths, external heights and finishes and reconfiguring internal fit-outs and cabinetry to be functional and practical, we were proud to deliver much needed upgrades to these community facilities.

Earlier this year we had the pleasure of adding Steve Wilson to our team, as our new Architectural Drafting Manager. Steve has 30+ years of experience in some of the largest architectural firms and building companies in Perth and interstate.
A growing Christian private school tucked behind the main streets of Byford required several additional classrooms, administration building extensions and upgrades to staff facilities.
Needing to cater to a greater number of students, the school called for tenders for providing additional classrooms that fit into the schools existing style and feel. The classrooms needed to be constructed during school terms and completed by the final term to provide sufficient time for the faculty to set up for the New Year.
With a neighbour sharing a brick wall, IQ Renovations needed to diplomatically construct and perform this transformation. Given that much of the existing was to remain, the unit had to be stripped right back and then extended. This created exposure risks in the construction process that needed to be addressed. Using extensive planning and project management techniques, the custom-designed renovation was pre-fabricated of the site.
By the time the roof was stripped back, the majority of the home had already been constructed, was carted to site and erected in a two-week time frame window. Interference to the existing home and neighbour was minimal and the transformation was completed. Wanting to also have a unique finish, the client selected cedar lining to the balcony and entrance, acrylic rendering externally, a floating staircase, bifold doors, glass balustrade and quality fittings throughout, turning the existing single-story 2×1 home into an eye-popping 4×2 home.
Running out of space for the growing family, an extension was designed and along with it, a facelift to the front elevation. Using timber-framed construction with the insulation panel system resulting in a high energy rating, the design provided the required solutions of space and storage, as well as an appropriately sized carport. With the family living in the dwelling during the construction, we boarded up the section that was being renovated, to reduce dust, noise and interference with family life, as well as ensure the site was safely cordoned off.
During the process, changes were often made as the finished product became easier to visualize and the client had a better idea of what it would look like. We made the changes as we progressed, providing the client with the flexibility and the finished product they desired.
We gave the task of a major renovation of our home to IQ Construction, after a recommendation from a friend. We are extremely pleased with the result, and also with the entire process, which could potentially be quite disruptive because we stayed in the home during the renovation.
Challenged with a sloping block we combined pole home and lightweight construction methods to provide a unique looking home. Mixing acrylic texture coating with colorbond cladding, this home certainly catches the eye.
