Home Renovation Builders Sydney
What we do
Home Renovations by a Sydney builder
Renovating an existing house means finding out what is behind the walls. We plan for that at the start, so the quote reflects the condition of the house and not just the new finishes.
Renovations we take on
- Whole home renovations and layout changes
- Kitchen renovations, including removing walls to open up living areas
- Bathroom and laundry renovations
- Facade updates, recladding and repainting
- Flooring, internal walls, doors and joinery
What we look at before quoting
Older homes often hide sagging floor frames, outdated wiring, termite damage or materials that need careful removal. We inspect what we can at the site visit and set out allowances in writing for what can only be confirmed once work starts.
Removing or altering walls is structural work. Where a wall carries load we get engineering and install the right beam before it comes out.
Approvals
Internal renovations often do not need approval. Changes to structure, the building footprint or the street facade usually do, and heritage conservation areas carry extra controls.
What affects the price
- How much of the house is involved, and whether the layout changes
- Condition of the existing structure, floors and services
- Kitchens and bathrooms, which carry the most trades per square metre
- Fixtures, finishes and joinery
- Access, and whether you stay in the house during work

Home Renovations Sydney: What to Consider Before Starting Your Project
The decisions made before anyone picks up a tool decide most of the cost, time and stress of a renovation. Here is what to sort out first.
Structural Renovations: What Homeowners Should Know Before Removing Walls
Opening up a floor plan is one of the most popular renovations, and one of the most misunderstood. Here is what really happens when a wall comes out.
How to Plan a Home Renovation in Sydney
Good renovations are planned in a specific order. Getting that order wrong is what causes most of the cost and stress.
How Much Does a Home Renovation Cost in Sydney?
Renovation cost is driven by wet areas, structural change and the age of the house far more than by floor area.
Renovating an Older Sydney Home: What Should You Consider?
Older homes are worth renovating well. They just ask for more investigation before the design is locked in.
Common Home Renovation Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Most renovation problems come from a short list of avoidable decisions, and nearly all of them are made before work starts.
Questions
Home Renovations in Sydney, answered
Where should I start with a home renovation?
Start with the brief and the budget, then a site visit so we can tell you what the house allows. Our renovation planning guide walks through the order of decisions.
Can you remove a wall between the kitchen and living room?
Usually. If the wall is load bearing we arrange engineering and install a beam before it is removed. This is one of the most common jobs we do.
Do you give fixed price quotes?
We give written quotes with the scope, allowances and exclusions set out, so you know what is included and where costs could move.
