A passion for preservation

Period & Heritage Home Renovations, Extensions in Armadale

As specialists in the renovation of period homes, we understand you’ve bought into the charm of your property. Our job is to faithfully preserve it so you can continue to love it.
At Fortem Projects, we have a reputation for meticulous renovations. We respect the integrity and significance of original design, understand the required building approvals, and work with skilled partners and tradespeople that recognise both.



Whether you’re looking to restore a historic home to its former glory, add a sympathetic extension to your existing period home, or expertly blend traditional features with modern design aesthetics, we’ll make it easy to bring your vision to life.
Cost planning
At Fortem Projects, we meticulously assess your budget and financial goals, starting with our Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) method of project delivery. By engaging Fortem Projects early in the process to collaborate on design, cost and constructability, we deliver transparent cost planning via preliminary cost estimates, value management and internal cost benchmarking with expert trades, using fixed price or cost-plus contracts.
Project planning
We only take on a select number of projects per year, enabling a dedicated team on each project, ready to commence your build to the highest standards. We’ll collaborate with your architect or ours, and work together on a strict construction sequence. Help you obtain the necessary permits and permissions required for a period renovation. And create a comprehensive project schedule, outlining every detail to ensure efficiency and seamless execution from start to finish.
In-house carpenters
Fortem Projects takes pride in its team of seasoned carpenters, who bring a wealth of experience on period renovations, and exceptional skill to each project. Our team members are dedicated to crafting your vision with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring the utmost quality in every facet of your build, at every stage.
Project management
Our aim is to preserve the spirit of the property, and the team. We’ll manage all aspects of the build from trades to neighbours, as well as keeping you updated with fortnightly meetings and daily updates with our industry leading construction management software. And post build, we’ll check in at 3 and 12 months to ensure we’ve successfully honoured the past, while still delivering on your aspirations.
“They came up with solutions for things you wouldn’t deal with on a new build – issues with stained glass, replacing bluestone footings… it needed a level of expertise that had dealt with period homes before. That was a big relief for me – they had the people to solve the problems.”
