A full house renovation in Melbourne updates your entire home without extending the footprint. This includes new kitchens, bathrooms, living room renovation, bedroom renovation, and flooring throughout. We upgrade plumbing, electrical, insulation and finishes to bring older homes up to modern standards.
Full house renovations are common in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs where 1970s to 1990s homes are reaching the age where multiple rooms need attention. Costs start from $80,000 and vary based on scope. The house renovation cost in Melbourne depends on property size, number of rooms and finish level. As a guide, the renovation cost per square metre in Melbourne ranges from $1,000 to $3,000 for interior work.
A single storey extension in Melbourne adds living space at the rear or side of your home. Common configurations include open-plan kitchen and living extensions, additional bedrooms, home offices and expanded outdoor access.
Single storey extensions in Melbourne typically cost $150,000 to $300,000 and take 3 to 6 months to complete. This includes foundations, structural steelwork, framing, roofing, internal fit-out and all trades.
A second storey extension in Melbourne doubles your living space without reducing your garden or outdoor area. This is a popular option in Melbourne suburbs where blocks are narrow and ground-floor expansion is limited.
Second storey extensions require detailed engineering and structural assessment. Costs typically range from $250,000 to $500,000 depending on the size and finish level. Project timelines run 5 to 10 months.
A laundry renovation in Melbourne transforms a neglected utility space into an efficient, well-organised room. We install new cabinetry, benchtops, sinks, tiling, waterproofing and ventilation.
Laundry renovations are often combined with bathroom renovations when the two rooms share plumbing. Standalone laundry renovations in Melbourne cost $5,000 to $15,000.
Granny flats are self-contained dwellings built on your existing property. They provide independent living space for family members, generate rental income or add significant property value.
In Victoria, granny flats (Dependent Person’s Units) have specific planning requirements. We handle council applications, design, construction and fit-out. Costs range from $100,000 to $200,000 depending on size and finish.
Heritage home renovation in Melbourne requires specialist knowledge. We preserve character features (original timber flooring, ornate cornices, period details) while upgrading kitchens, bathrooms, electrical and plumbing to modern standards. Heritage overlays may affect your property, and we advise on planning permit requirements.
A living room renovation Melbourne families choose refreshes your main living area with new flooring, painting, feature walls, lighting and built-in storage. For a complete living room renovation Melbourne wide, we handle every trade from demolition to finishing touches. Bedroom renovation in Melbourne includes new flooring, built-in wardrobes, painting and lighting upgrades. Both are available as standalone projects or as part of a full house renovation.
