Overview
Home renovations on the Gold Coast are our core business. From coastal Queenslanders in Burleigh Heads to canal-front family homes in Mermaid Waters and modern acreage in Tallai, we've renovated homes across every corner of the Gold Coast. A great home renovation is more than new finishes - it's a smarter floor plan, better light, improved airflow for the subtropical climate, and materials that stand up to salt air and UV. As a Gold Coast-based, QBCC-licensed, Orange Projects manages your renovation end to end: design coordination, engineering, certification, trades, materials and finishing. One licensed team, one point of contact, one fixed price. We also service Brisbane and surrounding South East Queensland areas as a secondary catchment.

Gold Coast home renovation specialists
Orange Projects has spent years renovating homes across the Gold Coast, and that local experience shows in every project. We understand how coastal salt air affects fixings and finishes in Palm Beach and Currumbin, how humidity shapes material choices in Robina and Varsity Lakes, and how canal-front homes in Broadbeach Waters and Hope Island need extra attention to sub-floor and structural details. That local knowledge feeds into how we scope, quote and deliver every Gold Coast home renovation. We work on everything from cosmetic refreshes to full structural transformations - Queenslander character homes, 1980s brick-and-tile family homes, modern architect-designed rebuilds and beachside apartments. Whatever the era or style, we adapt our approach to protect what's worth keeping and modernise what isn't.
End-to-end management with one licensed builder
A Gold Coast home renovation involves dozens of moving parts: demolition, structural work, plumbing, electrical, tiling, joinery, painting, flooring, waterproofing and certification. When that coordination falls on the homeowner, projects blow out - trades clash, materials arrive at the wrong time, and no one owns the finish. Orange Projects handles all of it under one professional contract. You get one project manager, one build program, one fixed price and one warranty. We schedule trades in the right order, order materials to hit each stage on time, and quality-control every subcontractor's work before the next trade steps in. That's the difference between a renovation that runs to plan and one that drifts.
Fixed-price quotes with no surprises
A home renovation on the Gold Coast is one of the biggest investments most families make. You deserve to know exactly what it costs before you commit. Orange Projects only issues fixed-price quotes after a proper site inspection and detailed scope of works. Every inclusion is itemised - fixtures, fittings, finishes, allowances and exclusions - so there's no grey area. We use provisional sums only where genuinely necessary (for example, tile selections you haven't finalised yet) and we flag them clearly. If a scope change is needed mid-project - and sometimes hidden conditions in older Gold Coast homes make that unavoidable - we quote the variation before doing the work. That's how a renovation stays on budget.
Materials and finishes built for the Gold Coast
The Gold Coast climate is brutal on the wrong materials. UV bleaches timber, salt corrodes standard fixings, humidity warps flooring and cyclonic winds test every roof and deck connection. We specify materials and hardware suited to the local environment - marine-grade fixings for coastal jobs in Currumbin and Palm Beach, moisture-tolerant flooring for pool-side rooms in Hope Island, and cyclone-rated structural work where the site demands it. We partner with reputable local suppliers, so if a warranty claim ever comes up we can resolve it quickly and locally. The result is a home renovation that still looks and performs the way it should years after handover.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a home renovation cost on the Gold Coast?
Home renovations on the Gold Coast typically start from around $60,000-$120,000 for cosmetic upgrades and range from $150,000 to $400,000+ for full structural renovations with layout changes. Actual pricing depends on scope, finishes, site conditions and any Gold Coast City Council requirements. Orange Projects provides a fixed-price quote after a free on-site consultation.
How long does a home renovation take on the Gold Coast?
Most Gold Coast home renovations take between 8 and 20 weeks on site once approvals are in place. Cosmetic-only jobs can be faster; full structural renovations with extensions may take longer. We provide a written program before starting so you know each stage's dates.
Do I need council approval to renovate my home in Queensland?
Cosmetic and internal renovations often don't require Gold Coast City Council approval, but wall removals, extensions, plumbing relocations, decks over 1m high and any external structural work typically do. Orange Projects coordinates certifiers and Council applications for you as part of the fixed-price quote.

We deliver fixed-price quotes, one point of contact from concept to handover, premium workmanship, quality materials suited to the coastal climate and warranty-backed work.

Can I stay in the house during the renovation?
Sometimes - it depends on scope. For kitchens or single-room work, most clients stay. For full home renovations with kitchen, bathrooms and services offline, most Gold Coast clients find it easier to move out temporarily. We help you plan the staging.
