Our Area
Famous for its long beaches and golden sands, the Gold Coast is a spectacular place to live and visit. The Gold Coast encapsulates varied landscapes from beaches to rugged mountain ranges, and its culture and people are just as diverse.
As professional renovation builders, we see a great opportunity for Gold Coast residents to renovate and profit in many ways. Many homes in and around the Gold Coast already have fantastic land value, and a home renovation can unlock huge capital gains. Not only that, rental properties can also benefit from renovations as higher rent can often be demanded.
And of course there are the home owners that simply want their Gold Coast home to match the Gold Coast lifestyle – just beautiful! We love nothing better than to see people really enjoy their newly renovated home!

Our Services
Home Extensions: A home extension is a great way to add space and value to your home without having to go through the stress and expense of moving house. It involves expanding your home by building additional rooms or extending existing ones. Home extensions can range from the edition of a single room to a more complex project, such as adding a second storey. With the help of our professional builders, we can create a custom design that meets your needs and reflects your personal style, all while enhancing the functionality and value of your home.
Second Storey Additions: A second storey addition is a popular way to add extra living space to your home. It involves adding a new level on top of your existing home, creating additional bedrooms, bathrooms, or living areas. If you love where you live, a second storey addition is a great solution for your family that has outgrown their current lowset home. It can also be a cost-effective alternative to moving to a larger home in a more expensive area. With our help, you can design a custom second storey addition that complements your existing home and meets your specific requirements and budget.

Design
The design phase marks the beginning of your home transformation. It's where our builders will first connect with you to discuss the changes you would like to make. Regardless of whether you have a few ideas in mind or are starting from scratch with no idea where to start, our experienced team is here to guide you. Drawing on years of building experience, we work together with you to create a custom design that caters to your specific needs, lifestyle, budget, and timelines. As design and build specialists, we don't require any prior plans before our initial meeting. During this stage, we'll provide you with expert advice on the range of options available to achieve your dream home. If you're considering a home renovation all you need to do is contact us and we'll take care of the rest.
Plan
After collaborating with our builders and finalising your design in the design stage, we move on to stage two – planning your home transformation! Our planning stage includes obtaining all required permits and ensuring compliance with local regulations to prevent any unexpected issues during the construction phase to ensure a smooth renovation process. After all the details have been taken care of, we move on to the most exciting part of the process, where construction finally begins!
Construct

We understand that home renovations can be stressful, and during this phase communication is paramount. We will keep you informed every step of the way, and our builders are always available to answer your questions.

Our builders will guide you through the changes made and provide you with any other relevant information. It's time to sit back, relax, and enjoy your brand-new renovated home!
