The kitchen is often the busiest room in the home, so we make sure your renovation is built around how you live and cook. Whether you need more bench space, better flow, or smarter storage, we’ll design a layout that fits your routine. We work with you to select materials, cabinetry, and finishes that reflect your style and hold up to daily use. Throughout the process, we coordinate with trades and suppliers to keep everything moving smoothly. From small changes to complete kitchen transformations, we bring practical design and professional attention to detail.

Whether you're tight on space or need more storage and functionality, we’ll work with you to create a layout that makes everyday tasks easier. We’ll help you choose cabinetry, fittings, and finishes that are hard-wearing and easy to clean, all while making the best use of your available space. Our team manages the project from start to finish, ensuring a tidy build and smooth coordination with plumbers and electricians. A well-designed laundry can really make a difference—let’s build one that works.
How much does a home renovation cost in Australia?
The cost of a home renovation in Australia varies greatly depending on the size and scope of the project, the materials used, and where you live. As a general guide, basic renovations (such as cosmetic updates to kitchens or bathrooms) can start from $20,000 to $50,000, while mid-range renovations often range between $50,000 and $150,000. For large-scale or luxury renovations—including full home remodels or extensions—you could be looking at $150,000 or more. Labour typically accounts for around 40–50% of the cost, with materials and finishes making up the rest. It’s also important to factor in costs for permits, professional fees (such as architects or engineers), and any temporary accommodation if the home becomes unliveable during construction. To avoid budget blowouts, always get multiple quotes and work with a licensed contractor who provides clear timelines, a detailed scope of work, and a fixed price or itemised estimate.
What should I renovate first in my home?
If you're unsure where to start with a renovation, it's best to begin with spaces that impact your daily routine the most or those that are most in need of repair. The kitchen is often a top priority, as it's a high-traffic area that affects how you cook, eat, and socialise. Bathrooms are another common starting point, especially if they're outdated or have plumbing issues. Renovating these rooms can significantly improve functionality, comfort, and even your property’s value. If your layout is inefficient or your family is growing, a living room reconfiguration or home extension might take precedence. When prioritising, also consider factors like energy efficiency, natural light, and storage. Addressing structural or water damage should always come first, followed by the areas that will give you the most practical and visual impact. A clear plan and professional advice will help ensure your renovation flows logically and stays on budget.
Do I need a builder or an architect for a renovation?
Whether you need a builder, architect, or both depends on the complexity of your renovation. For simple upgrades—like replacing cabinets, flooring, or fixtures in kitchens or bathrooms—a licensed builder or renovation contractor is often all you need. They can handle design tweaks, source materials, manage trades, and ensure the work complies with building codes. For structural changes (e.g., removing walls, extending rooms, altering rooflines) or significant layout redesigns, working with an architect or building designer can be a smart move. Architects provide detailed plans, navigate council approvals, and help create spaces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. In many cases, a builder and architect will collaborate to bring your vision to life. If you’re unsure, start by speaking to a reputable builder—they can advise whether architectural input is necessary for your specific project.
