FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
What should I renovate first in an older home?
In older homes, it’s important to prioritise areas that affect functionality, safety, and energy efficiency. Start with the kitchen and bathroom — they’re the most used spaces and can also deliver the greatest value in terms of lifestyle and resale. Structural integrity (such as flooring, roofing, and plumbing) should also be reviewed early to prevent future issues. Updating electrical systems, insulation, and lighting can greatly improve comfort and reduce energy bills. Once essentials are handled, you can focus on aesthetics like flooring, paint, and fixtures.
How much does a home renovation cost in Australia?
The cost of a home renovation varies widely depending on the size and scope of work. Small cosmetic updates may start from $10,000 to $20,000, while larger renovations involving structural changes or multiple rooms can range from $50,000 to $150,000 or more. Bathrooms generally cost between $15,000 – $30,000, and kitchens can range from $20,000 – $50,000, depending on layout and materials. Costs are influenced by factors such as design complexity, materials chosen, access to the site, and labour availability. Always seek multiple quotes and ensure you're working with licensed professionals.
Do I need council approval to renovate my home?
Not all renovations require council approval, but some certainly do — especially if you're changing the structure of your home, extending the footprint, or altering drainage or plumbing. Minor interior changes like repainting, flooring, or replacing kitchen cabinets usually don't require permits. However, things like moving walls, creating new openings, or building an extension will typically require a Development Application (DA) or Complying Development Certificate (CDC). It's best to check with your local council or a qualified builder to determine what's needed for your specific project.
