This heritage listed bluestone cottage is currently used as the main office of Planbuild. They have over 50 years of local and international experience as architects and heritage consultants.
Gary Lancaster was hired by Mr Peter Hignett, the Principal of Planbuild, to perform sensitive heritage restoration and reconstruction work of exterior painting to the front exterior and right side of the building. This included heritage lining restoration work to the bluestone frontage.

After thoroughly preparing the surfaces, Gary used super premium quality paints and materials for the work, matching the colours to the existing heritage colour scheme. The paint was traditionally applied by brush. Gary painted window frames, the front door and door frame, fascias, birdboards, posts, feet of the posts, mouldings, lacework surrounds and plymph. He also painted the wooden barrier side fence, the metal frame and metal post of the sign, and the underneath side of the verandah. And finally, he used a traditional heritage lining brush to delicately repaint the lines of the stonework. See more information and photos of work on our heritage website.
