24.01.2022 Welcome to all our new additions.



23.01.2022 New blog on website: http://www.kenmckayhomes.com.au//first-time-buyers-get-re/

21.01.2022 We started a renovation at Albany Creek a few weeks ago and discovered that the home has issues with their foundations. Facia in the background is 75mm out of level. Right where the bedroom will be. So now after consultation with the engineer the corner will be underpinned to control the movement going forward. Not sure if it was the carpenter's or foundations but we also have walls that are 30mm out of plumb. Get it right from the start. Extra thought on engineering and skill level of trades can make a world of difference.

20.01.2022 So today we removed the ceiling on the house we are renovating only to find that the girder truss has failed. The bottom chord which is spanning about 3.5m has deflected about 35mm. I am surprised that it didn't break. As there was no cracks in the gyprock I believe that it failed during construction and the plasterer just sheeted over it. This house should be renamed Pandoras box.



18.01.2022 I know I posted yesterday but just to prove I'm back to normal here is me speaking my mind. People want quality work done on their homes? but they just want it done and done cheap. They watch the home improvement shows and see how easy it is and that a bathroom can be fully renovated in a week. Who do you think sponsors these shows? The big hardware companies. Skilled tradesmen and women take years to gain the knowledge to know how to do the job right. Don't be lazy people... ask them what trade they did their apprenticeship in. Don't bury your head in the sand, ask questions. Just remember the quality doesn't cost the earth but it can save you a crap load of cash and heartache. See more

17.01.2022 So this job was a bit of a challenge. The clients wanted to give the deck some shielding from the elements with some shutters. They contacted a variety of suppliers, some said they can't do it (at least they were honest) but one salesman comes out and says no problem we will fit some fixed shutters below the handrail and bi fold shutters above. Here is your quote and if you sign today we will take $0000s off. The client loved the idea and signed up. Then they come out to che...ck measure and inform the client that they must have a beams and posts installed for them to fix to otherwise they can't proceed. Needless to say the company pulled out of the project leaving a very unhappy client. Then I get the phone call, we discuss how it could be done, I get the relevant quotes, speak to the relevant authorities to make sure it meets structural , council and building code requirements. Here are the photos as it is just now, watch this space. See more
