Renovations, decks and carpentry in Mermaid Beach
Orange Projects renovates Mermaid Beach homes with the detail and materials the postcode calls for - from beachfront apartments through to the Hedges Avenue and Albatross Avenue rebuilds.
About renovating in Mermaid Beach
Mermaid Beach is one of the highest-value stretches on the Gold Coast and the renovation and rebuild activity along Hedges Avenue and the surrounding streets is constant. That means the standard of build owners expect is higher, the material specifications are more demanding, and the coordination with architects, interior designers and pool builders is a bigger part of the job than it is in most suburbs. We've built the business around that kind of work. When a client wants integrated appliances, a stone waterfall island with a mitred edge, wide-plank engineered oak through the whole house, and a rear deck that transitions cleanly to a plunge pool, we handle the coordination and the detail. Our carpenters set out the joinery so the reveal lines carry across the room. Our tilers get the setout right before the first cut. Our project management keeps the program tight so the finish trades hand over on the date we agreed. Working in Mermaid Beach also means being respectful of neighbours and traffic. Streets are narrow, parking is scarce, and everyone knows everyone. We plan deliveries, keep the site tidy at the end of every day, and put in the effort to leave adjoining owners with no reason to raise a complaint. That is part of what a premium build costs and it is part of what we deliver.
