About renovating in Brisbane
Brisbane's housing stock is unusually mixed, and it changes what a renovation actually involves. Pre-war Queenslanders through Paddington, Wilston, Windsor and Coorparoo bring VJ walls, timber stumps, uneven floors and the near-certainty that something behind the lining isn't what the plan says. Post-war lowset brick through the southern and northern suburbs is more predictable but often needs layout work to open up dark living areas. Newer builds out through Springfield, North Lakes and the outer corridors are mostly first-upgrade jobs: decking and alfresco, flooring replacement, storage joinery. A Queenslander renovation is a carpentry problem before it's a decorating problem. Floors that aren't level, walls that aren't square and framing that was never designed for a modern kitchen island all have to be dealt with before the finishes go on. We plan for that at inspection stage rather than discovering it in week two, which is why our Brisbane quotes tend to be more detailed - and why they hold. We work across greater Brisbane from the CBD out through the western, northern, eastern and southern suburbs, and down through Logan.

Our services in Brisbane
Home renovations across Brisbane
Partial and full home renovations, including Queenslander and post-war character homes. Opening up living areas, removing load-bearing walls with proper engineering, reworking layouts, replacing flooring and rebuilding the finishing carpentry so the result reads as original rather than patched. Full home renovations typically run 4 to 16 weeks.
Carpentry in Brisbane
Timber framing, door installation, skirting and architrave replacement, timber cladding, feature walls, media walls and built-in joinery. Character homes in particular need matched profiles - replacing a run of skirting in a 1930s home with a modern stock profile is an obvious mistake that's expensive to undo. We match what's there.
Decking, pergolas and outdoor living
Brisbane decks live under real sun and real summer storms. We build timber and composite decks with substructures sized properly, adequate ventilation underneath and hardware rated for the exposure. On sloping western-suburbs blocks, deck height and access are usually the two things that swing cost - both get resolved at inspection.
Hybrid and timber flooring in Brisbane
Hybrid and SPC flooring suits Brisbane's humidity swings better than laminate and is far more forgiving on slab-on-ground than solid timber. Over timber subfloors in older homes, levelling is usually the deciding factor in whether the finished floor feels solid or telegraphs every joist. We test and prepare the subfloor before we quote the install.
Commercial maintenance and fit-outs
Office, retail and hospitality tenancies across Brisbane - reactive repairs, scheduled maintenance, fit-outs and refurbishments, with after-hours scheduling where trading hours require it.
Why choose Orange Projects in Brisbane
Orange Projects holds QBCC Licence No. 15620733 and carries full public liability insurance. Every job in Brisbane is covered by the appropriate insurance and, where the contract value requires it, statutory home warranty.
We quote after a site inspection, not over the phone. The number you sign is the number you pay unless you change the scope or something genuinely hidden turns up - and if it does, you're told before we proceed.
We deliberately cap how many projects run at once so your job actually gets attention instead of being squeezed between five others. It means we're sometimes booked out, but it's why the finish holds up.
Carpentry, flooring, decking and the trades around them are coordinated by us. You deal with one person from the first inspection through to handover, not a different subbie every week.

Frequently asked questions - Brisbane
Do you renovate Queenslanders in Brisbane?
Yes, regularly. Queenslanders need a carpentry-led approach - matching VJ lining and timber profiles, dealing with out-of-level floors and stumps, and understanding what the original framing can and can't carry. We plan for that at inspection rather than pricing it as a straight modern renovation.
How much does a renovation cost in Brisbane?
Scope decides it, and nobody can quote a Brisbane renovation honestly without seeing the property - especially in older homes where what's behind the lining is unknown. We inspect, then give you an itemised fixed-price quote with inclusions and exclusions written out.
Are you QBCC licensed to work in Brisbane?
Yes. Orange Projects holds QBCC Licence No. 15620733 and full public liability insurance, valid across Queensland. The licence is publicly verifiable on the QBCC register.
Can you remove a load-bearing wall in a Brisbane home?
Yes, with engineering. A load-bearing wall removal needs a structural engineer's design for the beam and supports, and depending on the work it may need certification. We arrange that as part of the job rather than leaving you to organise it.
Which Brisbane suburbs do you service?
Greater Brisbane - the CBD and inner suburbs, the western suburbs through Toowong, Indooroopilly, Kenmore and Graceville, northside through Wilston, Windsor, Everton Park and Chermside, eastside through Bulimba, Coorparoo, Carindale and Wynnum, and the southern suburbs through Mount Gravatt and down into Logan.
Do you charge for the quote?
No. The site inspection and the fixed-price quote that follows it are free.
