Home Renovations in the Redlands

Whole-home and partial renovations - layout changes, structural openings, wet areas, kitchens, flooring, joinery, painting and services upgrades, delivered by one licensed team. Orange Projects is a QBCC-licensed builder (Licence No. 15620733) delivering home renovations across the Redlands and the wider South East Queensland region.

Home Renovations 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 home renovations 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 home renovations service in the Redlands

Layout and structural changes

Removing walls to open a kitchen into living, widening openings for better flow, or reworking a hallway that eats floor area. Where a wall is load-bearing we engage the engineer, install the beam and get it certified - the part that separates a licensed renovation from a risky one.

Kitchens and living spaces

Most renovations centre on the kitchen and main living spaces. We coordinate cabinetry, stone, plumbing, electrical and tiling in the right sequence so trades are not waiting on each other and the finish is consistent throughout.

Services, flooring and finishes

Renovating is the right time to upgrade wiring, switchboards, plumbing and insulation while walls are open. New flooring, skirtings, architraves, doors and paint then tie the whole home together instead of leaving a renovated room next to an untouched one.

What home renovations cost in the Redlands (2026)

Partial renovations generally start around $40,000-$70,000, while whole-home renovations commonly land between $120,000 and $350,000 depending on size, structural work and finish level. 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.

Partial renovations typically run 4-8 weeks. Whole-home renovations usually run 12-24 weeks including approvals.
