Kitchen Renovations in Brisbane

Custom kitchen renovations from a like-for-like refresh through to full structural reconfiguration with an island, walk-in pantry and integrated appliances. Orange Projects is a QBCC-licensed builder (Licence No. 15620733) delivering kitchen renovations across Brisbane and the wider South East Queensland region.

Kitchen Renovations in Brisbane - what to expect

Brisbane renovation work is defined by its character housing - pre-war Queenslanders and workers' cottages through the inner ring, post-war brick and timber homes through the middle suburbs, and bayside stock out east. Queenslanders and character cottages in Paddington, New Farm, Wilston and Ashgrove; post-war homes through Coorparoo, Camp Hill and Holland Park; larger family homes in Carindale and Kenmore; and bayside houses at Wynnum and Manly. For kitchen renovations specifically, this matters. The Brisbane City Plan traditional building character overlay controls what can be done to pre-1946 homes, particularly to the street-facing form, and under-house conversions have minimum ceiling height and flood-level requirements. Older homes commonly need stump, subfloor and structural timber work before cosmetic renovation is worth spending money on. Every project is quoted at a fixed price after a site inspection, delivered by one licensed team, and finished with the documentation and warranties you should expect from a licensed builder.

Our kitchen renovations service in Brisbane

Design and cabinetry

We plan the kitchen around how you actually cook and gather - bench runs, appliance placement, drawer versus door storage, bin and pantry positions. Cabinetry is made to measure rather than adjusted from stock modules, so you get usable storage in every millimetre.

Stone, splashbacks and appliances

Engineered or natural stone benchtops templated after cabinetry install, splashbacks in tile, stone or glass, and full appliance integration including rangehood ducting and dishwasher plumbing. Appliance specification is locked before cabinetry is manufactured to avoid costly rework.

Plumbing, electrical and finishing

Relocated sinks, new power and lighting circuits, under-cabinet lighting and correct ventilation are handled by licensed trades. We finish with cornice, painting, kick detailing and a clean site so the kitchen is ready to use on handover day.
