Builders in the Redlands - QBCC Licensed Building Company
Renovation and alteration building work - whole-home renovations, structural changes and beam installation, garage conversions, carpentry, decking, flooring, joinery and insurance reinstatement, delivered under one licensed contract. Orange Projects is a QBCC-licensed builder (Licence No. 15620733) delivering building work across the Redlands and the wider South East Queensland region.
Builders in the Redlands - what to expect
The Redlands is Brisbane's bayside - Cleveland, Victoria Point, Wellington Point and the surrounding suburbs, where outdoor living and water outlook drive most renovation decisions. Post-war cottages and Queenslanders near the older bayside centres, 1980s and 1990s brick homes through the middle suburbs, canal-front properties at Raby Bay, and a strong downsizer market around Victoria Point and Redland Bay. For building work specifically, this matters. Salt exposure near the foreshore drives fixing and hardware selection on anything external, low-lying pockets carry flood overlay conditions that affect extension floor levels, and character overlays apply around parts of the older Cleveland precinct. 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 building work service in the Redlands
Structural work done properly
Removing walls, installing beams, altering rooflines and repairing subfloor or stump work all require engineering, certification and a licensed builder. This is the part of a project where cutting corners is invisible until it is expensive, so it is done with an engineer's design and signed off correctly.
Fixed-price contracts and clear programs
We inspect, scope and issue an itemised written quote with inclusions, exclusions and a realistic program of works. Variations are priced and approved in writing before they happen, so the contract price does not drift through the job.
One licensed team from start to handover
The same core carpenters run the job, with trades scheduled around them rather than a rotating cast of subcontractors. You get one point of contact, regular updates, and a defect walk-through with warranty and compliance documentation at handover.
What building work cost in the Redlands (2026)
Partial renovations generally run $40,000-$70,000 and whole-home renovations $120,000-$350,000 depending on size, structural work and finish level. Smaller building work such as decks, garage conversions and carpentry packages typically falls between $12,000 and $60,000. Every quote is fixed-price and itemised after a site inspection. Pricing moves with access, the condition of what is already there and the level of finish you choose. Salt exposure near the foreshore drives fixing and hardware selection on anything external, low-lying pockets carry flood overlay conditions that affect extension floor levels, and character overlays apply around parts of the older Cleveland precinct.
How long building work take
Smaller building work is usually 1-4 weeks. Partial renovations run 4-8 weeks and whole-home renovations 12-24 weeks including approvals.

No. We specialise in renovation and alteration building work in the Redlands - whole-home renovations, structural changes, garage conversions, decking, carpentry and insurance reinstatement - rather than new home construction.
