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

Testimonials

Hi Stu and team, Thanks for the photos and congratulations on completing the build to such a high quality standard in such a short time. It certainly looks like everyone has settled in well. I’m sure the activities there will enrich the lives of people for many years to come. Thanks to all for your fabulous efforts in getting this centre up and running. It’s been an interesting and rewarding project to be involved in and the team at Box Hill Institute would like to commend you on your obvious commitment to the task, your high level of competency in craftsmanship and your can-do attitude. It’s been a pleasure to be involved in these activities in Vanuatu.

Testimonials

“Amazed is an understatement. Exceptionally happy there was no structural damage at all, only superficial/cosmetic damage. The sea surge and debris thrown up at the villas did not break the cyclone rated ‘Stormshield’ glass ranchsliders facing the sea, another great product that was well tested through the cyclone. Congrats to the team from Vanua Disaen for a very well built resort on the beach. A true testament to their design and building ability.”
– the owners, Vale Vale Resort, Pango Beach
