Frequently Asked Question
How much does a home renovation typically cost?
Home renovation costs typically range from AUD 500 to 4,000+ per square metre, depending on scope, materials, and complexity. An onsite inspection and detailed quote provide accurate pricing for your specific project.
Home renovation costs vary widely based on the scope, scale, and quality of finishes involved. A basic renovation might cost between AUD 500 to 1,500 per square metre, whilst a more comprehensive high-quality renovation can range from AUD 2,000 to 4,000 per square metre or higher. Specialised work such as kitchens or bathrooms often costs more per square metre due to the complexity and quality of fittings involved.
Several factors influence the final cost. These include the size of the area being renovated, quality of materials and fixtures selected, complexity of structural or system work required, site access and preparation needs, and any unforeseen issues discovered during construction. Labour costs, specialist trades, and the current cost of materials also play significant roles. Renovations in established areas such as Port Melbourne may have different cost implications than newer suburbs.
Rather than relying on generic estimates, we recommend obtaining a detailed quote from your builder following an onsite inspection. A comprehensive quote should itemise labour, materials, and any contingencies. During your initial consultation, discuss your budget openly so we can scope the project appropriately and discuss options for managing costs without compromising quality or safety.
