Collaroy: A Renovation That Became a Full Rewire
What began as a cosmetic renovation of a five-bedroom Collaroy home turned up an asbestos switchboard and decades of non-compliant wiring once the walls came open. We stayed on the job for six months, working with two builders while the design kept changing.
