Devonport Renovations
Transforming Devonport Homes Since 2009
Devonport has a rich and varied housing stock. Many of the region's homes were built between the 1950s and 1980s — well-located, on generous blocks, with sound bones but outdated layouts, inefficient thermal envelopes, and dated finishes. These homes are perfect candidates for renovation. With Devonport property values growing at 13–14% annually, a quality renovation here delivers exceptional value — and transforms the way you live in the process.
Davies Design & Construction brings an integrated approach to Devonport renovations. Our in-house architecture firm, Align Architecture & Interiors, works alongside our construction team from day one — so your design is always buildable, your budget is always accurate, and there's never a gap between what the architect designed and what the builder delivers. One team, one contract, one clear process.
We've been building across the Devonport region since 2009. Our Sheffield base is 40 minutes south — close enough to maintain ongoing site presence without the travel overhead that drives up your costs. Our established relationships with local Devonport trades and suppliers mean your renovation is resourced by people who know the region, not contractors learning it on your dollar.
Whether you're transforming a tired 1970s weatherboard in Spreyton, adding a second storey to your Stony Rise home, or overhauling the kitchen and living spaces in East Devonport — Davies brings the same methodical, design-led approach to every project.


What We Build
Renovation Services in Devonport
From a kitchen overhaul to a complete whole-house transformation — we bring the same design-led, fixed-price approach to every renovation in the Devonport region.
Whole-House Renovations
Complete transformation of your Devonport home's layout, finishes, and building performance. From dated and dark to light-filled and modern — a full renovation that changes the way you live, day and night.
Extensions & Additions
Adding a room, a second storey, or expanding your living areas to accommodate a growing family or changing lifestyle. Extensions are seamlessly integrated with your existing Devonport home's structure and design.
Kitchens, Bathrooms & Living Spaces
New kitchens, new bathrooms, open-plan conversions, and interior reconfigurations. The spaces you use every day, designed and built to the highest standard — no compromises on quality or detail.
Building Performance Upgrades
Improve your Devonport home's thermal performance with upgraded insulation, high-performance windows, and controlled ventilation. Many older Devonport homes lose significant heat — a performance upgrade transforms comfort and reduces running costs.
Knockdown Rebuild
If the existing structure isn't worth saving, sometimes the best renovation is starting fresh. Davies handles the full process — demolition through to new custom home — as one integrated project. Powered by our All Site Excavations partnership.
Heritage & Character Renovations
Devonport and Latrobe contain beautiful character homes from the early-to-mid 20th century. We have experience working sensitively with heritage and character properties — preserving what matters while modernising for today's lifestyle.
Devonport-Specific Knowledge
What to Know Before Renovating in Devonport
Devonport renovations have specific considerations — from asbestos in older homes to council approvals and heritage overlays. Here's what experienced Devonport renovators know before they start.
- Devonport has a significant stock of 1950s–1980s weatherboard and brick homes on generous blocks — many of which are structurally sound and prime for renovation.
- Pre-1990 homes commonly contain asbestos in fibro sheeting, floor tiles, and roof materials. Licensed identification and removal is legally required before renovation — we coordinate this end-to-end.
- Devonport City Council Permitted development renovations are typically assessed within 28 days via PlanBuild Tasmania — we handle the application process as part of our service.
- Heritage considerations apply to properties in Latrobe and parts of older Devonport. Additional approvals through the Tasmanian Heritage Council may be required for external changes.
- Devonport's climate — cool, wet winters and mild summers — makes thermal upgrades particularly valuable. A well-insulated, airtight renovation dramatically reduces heating costs.
- Devonport's housing market has seen 13–14% annual capital growth. A quality renovation adds disproportionate value relative to its cost in this market.
