A limited number of projects at a time, so quality never gets stretched thin
Renovating a Hallam Bathroom
Hallam's housing stock skews older than much of the City of Casey. 1960s and 1970s weatherboards and 1980s brick-veneer family homes make up a large share. The bathrooms in these homes are often compact, built to a different standard, and well past their serviceable life.
Many Hallam bathrooms we take on have little or no original waterproofing by current standards, a separate toilet off a short hallway, and fittings that haven't moved in decades. On top of that, blocks are generally smaller than in neighbouring Narre Warren, so layout changes have to earn their place. Every square metre is worth planning carefully.
Common drivers for a bathroom renovation in Hallam:
A dated 1960s or 70s weatherboard bathroom at the end of its life
Failing or non-existent original waterproofing in a 1980s brick-veneer bathroom
Combining a separate toilet and main bathroom into one well-planned wet area
A tight bathroom footprint that needs smart layout work and storage to feel bigger
A new or upgraded ensuite added as part of a broader home renovation
Updating fixtures, tiling and finishes to current standards and style

Structural & Waterproofing Work in Hallam Bathrooms
Older Hallam bathrooms almost always need their waterproofing stripped back to substrate and installed again from scratch to current Australian Standards (AS 3740). In many pre-1980 builds there was no proper waterproofing to begin with. The only way to do a bathroom here properly is to start from a bare shell.
Some older Hallam bathrooms also contain asbestos in wall sheeting, floor tiles or tile backing, which needs licensed assessment and removal before demolition. We manage all of it. Engineers, Casey Council permits, licensed asbestos removal where needed, plumbers, licensed waterproofers, tilers, cabinet makers and glaziers coordinated as one project.
Structural and layout work we regularly handle in Hallam bathrooms:
Combining a separate toilet and main bathroom into one combined wet area
Reconfiguring compact layouts to fit walk-in showers, double vanities and proper storage
Side or rear additions that create a new bathroom or ensuite within a smaller block
Relocating plumbing stacks, wet areas and drainage
Managing asbestos safely in older builds before demolition begins
Full waterproofing to AS 3740 by licensed waterproofers, signed off as part of the build

Why RAW Building Group
RAW is director-led. Rod and Will run every project in person, so decisions happen quickly and nothing gets lost between a salesperson and a site manager.
We deliberately limit the number of projects we take on. That means your Hallam bathroom gets proper focus. The waterproofing gets checked, the tiling gets watched, and the finishes get inspected before handover.
No hard sell. No dramatic promises. Just quality building, delivered honestly.
Bathroom Renovation Cost in Hallam
Cost depends on your project scope. A premium bathroom with structural changes, custom joinery and quality finishes typically sits between $45,000 and $90,000. Bathrooms done as part of a larger extension or whole-home renovation typically cost between $35,000 and $75,000 each, with cost efficiencies when multiple bathrooms are built in one project.
We provide a detailed cost breakdown during design, and a fixed price before construction starts. No hidden extras.
See Our Bathroom Work
Our completed bathroom work across Melbourne's south-east, West Gippsland and the Bass Coast shows what's possible when the bathroom is designed as part of the whole home. From the Silverleaves transformation on the Bass Coast to multiple bathrooms and ensuites at our Tynong North farmhouse, each project is built to suit the home and the family.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. We regularly work in Hallam, Hampton Park, Lynbrook, Narre Warren, Narre Warren South, Berwick, Endeavour Hills and nearby suburbs across the City of Casey and the south-east growth corridor.
-
Yes. Many of our Hallam bathroom projects involve 1960s and 70s weatherboards or 1980s brick-veneer homes with failing or non-existent original waterproofing, and in some cases asbestos that needs managing before demolition. We strip back to substrate, install new waterproofing to current standards, and rebuild the bathroom from there.
-
A standalone complex bathroom typically takes 6 to 10 weeks. Bathrooms as part of a larger renovation or extension are integrated into the overall 8 to 16 month build program. Timelines are confirmed during design.
-
A premium bathroom with structural changes typically costs between $45,000 and $90,000. Bathrooms done as part of a larger project typically cost $35,000 to $75,000 each. Asbestos management, where needed, is scoped and priced separately at design. We provide a fixed price before construction starts, with no hidden extras.
-
Yes. All waterproofing is installed to AS 3740 (Waterproofing of Domestic Wet Areas) by licensed waterproofers, and signed off as part of the build. In older Hallam homes there's often little or no original waterproofing, so we strip back to substrate and install from scratch. Correct waterproofing is non-negotiable in a RAW bathroom.
-
Yes. Whole-home renovations and extensions are where our work is strongest. The bathroom gets designed and built as part of the overall project, with everything coordinated by one director.
