Kitchen Renovations in Hallam
RAW Building Group designs and builds premium kitchen renovations in Hallam, delivered as part of larger home renovations and extensions across the City of Casey. Rod or Will runs your project in person, from the first site visit to handover.
Why Narre Warren homeowners choose RAW:
Director-led builds. You deal with Rod or Will directly, not a project manager
Kitchens delivered as part of substantial renovations, extensions and knockdown rebuilds
A limited number of projects at a time, so quality never gets stretched thin
Fixed budget and timeline agreed before construction starts
Common drivers for a kitchen renovation in Hallam:
A compact original kitchen in a 1960s or 70s weatherboard that no longer suits family life
A 1980s brick-veneer kitchen with dated melamine joinery and a closed-off layout
A tight floor plan that needs opening up to feel bigger
A side or rear extension that creates room for a proper kitchen and living zone
Adding a butler's pantry, island bench or integrated appliances where space allows
Reworking the kitchen as part of a broader home renovation
Renovating a Hallam Kitchen
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 kitchens in these homes are often compact, closed off from the living area and well past their serviceable life
Blocks are generally smaller than in neighbouring Narre Warren, which shapes how extensions and reconfigurations get planned. Many Hallam renovations we take on start as a kitchen refresh and grow into something bigger. Walls come down to open up compact floor plans, a side or rear extension gets added, or the whole living zone gets reworked around the new kitchen. On a tighter block, every square metre earns its place.
What a RAW Kitchen Renovation Includes
A kitchen renovation with RAW is a considered building project, not a cabinet swap. We handle structural changes, custom joinery, services relocation and premium finishes as one coordinated build.
Open-plan reconfigurations removing walls between kitchen, dining and living areas
New kitchen spaces created through ground-floor or side extensions
Full internal remodelling with structural changes and relocated services
Custom cabinetry designed for your storage, benchtops and appliance selections
Butler's pantries, integrated fridges and custom island benches built in
Structural work we regularly handle in Hallam kitchens:
Opening up compact original floor plans by removing load-bearing walls with engineered beams
Reconfiguring kitchen, dining and living areas to make better use of smaller blocks
Side or rear extensions designed to fit the existing block and council setbacks
Relocating plumbing, gas and electrical services for a new kitchen layout
Managing asbestos safely in older builds before demolition begins
Updating slab-era services during the kitchen build
Structural Work in Hallam Homes
Hallam homes are a mix of weatherboard and brick-veneer construction, often on original slab or stump foundations with plumbing that predates current standards. Weatherboard homes need a slightly different structural approach than brick veneer. Some older Hallam builds also require licensed asbestos management before any demolition starts.
We handle all of it. Engineers, Casey Council permits, licensed asbestos removal where needed, plumbers, electricians, waterproofers and cabinet makers coordinated as one project.

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 kitchen renovation gets proper focus. The joinery gets watched, the trades stay sequenced, and the finishes get checked before handover.
No hard sell. No dramatic promises. Just quality building, delivered honestly
Kitchen Renovation Cost in Hallam
Cost depends on your project scope. A kitchen renovation as part of a wider extension typically sits between $100,000 and $250,000 or more, and represents around 25 to 35% of the overall build budget. A standalone complex kitchen with structural changes generally starts from around $80,000
We provide a detailed cost breakdown during design, and a fixed price before construction starts. No hidden extras.

Our completed kitchen renovations across Melbourne's south-east show what's possible when the kitchen is designed as part of the whole home. From family-home transformations across the City of Casey to coastal kitchens on the Bass Coast, each project is built to suit the home and the family.
