Renovations and Repairs

Let us renovate or repair your holiday home based on your dream design.

While regular maintenance and building natural disaster resilience from the foundations up to the roof are the best way to ensure your building will survive Vanuatu’s climactic extremes, Vanuatu Homes offers both pre-disaster improvements and emergency repairs after damage has been caused.

Vanuatu Homes is run by a team experienced with architectural design, blueprints and we liaise constantly with qualified designers.

Vanuatu Homes prides itself on delivering outstanding floor plans, architectural draughting services, landscape design and even quantity surveying.

What your structure needs before and after a cyclone or earthquake

  • Fasteners need to be galvanised so they don’t rust and become a point of weakness – Vanuatu Homes uses superior quality NZ fasteners
  • Timber rot should be prevented a) through installing H3 or better treated timber and b) prevented by coating framing in tar paper
  • Roofs – these will be susceptible to cyclonic forces if not built wind-resistant. Vanuatu Homes; designs follow the cyclone resiliency building codes of Queensland, Australia
  • Masonry and walls should be designed so they don’t catch extreme wind and don’t have weak points. Hence Vanuatu Homes often uses interlocking concrete blocks.
  • Doors and windows must be fixed to walls and have adequate seals.
  • Attachments such as guttering, fascia and eaves can become liabilities during an extreme storm or earthquake and should be securely fastened.
  • It is essential to install termite-resistant timber in framing so that cyclones and earthquakes don’t cause the timber to collapse around its weak points

I was very happy with my experience with Vanua Disaen (Vanuatu Homes). The finished product was excellent and the process was seamless. The team was very professional and took the difficulty out of building a house in Vanuatu.

Testimonials

“We had the cyclone shutters in place a few days before Cyclone Pam hit Port Vila. The location of my house was somewhat worrisome as it was on a hilltop with a view and very prone to the south-easterly winds. Furthermore I was apprehensive about the material my house was made of. I had everything packed and covered fearing the worst. Moved my elderly Mum to my brothers concrete house further down the hill which ‘looked’ much safer. I was overwhelmed with mixed emotions after the storm as I walked back to my house the next morning. I was wordless for once in my life. Apart from a broken shutter and gutter along the front, my lil house stood humble but firm on the hilltop without any damage. My heartfelt gratitude goes to Stu and his boys at Vanua Disaen for an extraordinary job in designing and building my house. Tankyu tumas.”
