  • Family run, Bundaberg and surrounds

Few homes need only one room renovated. The bathroom is updated, the laundry behind it looks dated beside it, and the kitchen follows. Planned together, the work is sequenced once, the trades attend once, and the finished house reads as a single home.

We plan and build full renovations across Bundaberg, Bargara, Elliott Heads and the surrounding region, with one family run team responsible for the whole project.

What a full home renovation includes

  • One scope for the whole house, staged so you can remain living in it wherever that is practical.
  • One written price, broken down by room, so you can see where the money goes.
  • A site manager on the project, coordinating plumbers, electricians, waterproofers, tilers and cabinet makers.
  • One standard of finish in every room, from the same trades.
  • Building approval arranged through a private certifier where the work requires it.

Is a full renovation the right approach?

If two or more rooms need work within the next few years, renovating them together is usually the better approach. The trades attend once, plumbing and waterproofing are planned as one system, and the house is disrupted once. If only one room needs work, we quote that room as its own project.

Renovating an older Bundaberg home

Much of Bundaberg's housing is older than it looks, from Queenslanders on stumps to brick homes of the 1970s and 1980s, and older homes hold surprises. Wiring and plumbing may be original. Floors on stumps may have moved. Homes built before 1990 may contain asbestos in wall and ceiling sheeting, particularly in bathrooms, kitchens and laundries.

We allow for this at the start. The site visit includes a check of the structure and services, and the written scope sets out what we found and what we could not see. If something is uncovered once walls are opened, we stop, explain the options and the cost, and proceed only with your approval. This is part of our process on every project.

What affects the cost of a home renovation?

The cost of a home renovation is set by the number of wet areas, whether walls or services move, the age and condition of the house, and the level of finish. Bathrooms and kitchens carry the most cost per square metre, because they involve the most licensed trades.

We price the whole project in writing and itemise it by room. That lets you decide what to include, what to stage, and what to leave for later.

Is it cheaper to renovate or rebuild?

It depends on the structure. If the frame, roof and stumps are sound, renovating usually costs less and keeps the character of the house. If the structure needs major work, a rebuild can be the better value. We will give you an honest view at the site visit.

Can we live in the house during a full renovation?

Often, yes. We stage the work so that a bathroom and a working kitchen area remain available for as long as possible. Where a stage makes the house unliveable, we tell you in advance and for how long.

Do we need building approval?

Where the work is structural, yes. Building approvals in Queensland are issued by private building certifiers, and we arrange this as part of the project.

What protection do we have as homeowners?

Residential building work over $3,300 in Queensland requires a written contract and QBCC home warranty insurance. The contract has a five business day cooling-off period, and the deposit is limited by law to 5 per cent on contracts of $20,000 or more.

Do you take on extensions?

We take on structural work as part of a renovation. If an extension or new build is the whole project, tell us, and we will let you know whether we are the right builder for it.
