Structural Alterations in Cape Town
Redesign the way your property works with professional structural alterations from Herms Renovations. We modify existing layouts, create new openings, build or reposition walls and carry out structural changes as part of residential and commercial renovation projects across Cape Town.
Transform Your Existing Property
You don’t always need more space — sometimes you need to make better use of the space you already have. Structural alterations can change how rooms connect, improve movement through a property and create layouts that better suit modern living or working requirements.
Herms Renovations carries out structural alterations for property renovations throughout Cape Town. From creating new openings and changing internal layouts to constructing new walls and modifying existing spaces, we coordinate the structural work with the wider renovation where required.
Our Structural Alteration Services
Services include:
New Wall Openings

Internal Layout Changes
Reconfigure existing rooms and spaces to create a layout that better suits your property's requirements.
Open-Plan Conversions
Transform separated living areas into more connected spaces through carefully planned structural alterations.
Wall Construction
Build new internal walls to divide rooms, create new spaces or accommodate a redesigned property layout.
Existing Wall Alterations
Modify or rebuild sections of existing walls as part of renovations and property improvements.
Renovation Structural Work
Coordinate structural changes with roofing, ceilings, plumbing, plastering and other renovation work.
Create a Layout That Works for You
Older properties don’t always have layouts suited to the way people use their homes today. Kitchens may be separated from living areas, rooms may feel unnecessarily enclosed, or existing doorways may not provide practical access.
Structural alterations can help create larger living spaces, improve room flow and make better use of the available floor area without necessarily extending the property.
For alterations involving load-bearing walls or structural support, the requirements must be properly assessed before work proceeds.
Structural Alterations & Complete Renovations
Changing the structure is often only the first stage of a renovation. Once walls have been altered or new openings created, surrounding areas may require additional work to complete the transformation.
Herms Renovations can coordinate related services including:
• Brickwork
• Plastering & Skimming
• Ceiling Work
• Plumbing Alterations
• Roofing
• Painting
• Tiling
• Final Finishing
This allows the structural alteration and surrounding renovation work to be managed as part of one project.
