About renovating in Bulimba

Bulimba is a riverside character suburb where raising, extending and renovating a Queenslander is the standard playbook rather than the exception. Pre-war Queenslanders and cottages on classic Bulimba lots, plus newer riverfront homes. Under-house build-ins, rear extensions, kitchens and large entertaining decks are the recurring scopes. Character overlay rules, narrow side access and neighbouring homes close to boundaries all shape how these jobs run. Deck and extension work needs engineering, certification and careful stormwater planning. We take on projects of every size in Bulimba - from replacing a kitchen or laying new flooring through to full home renovations and insurance repairs. Every project is run by one licensed team, quoted at a fixed price after a site inspection, and delivered with clear communication and a tidy site.
