What to know about Home renovations
A home renovation is work on a house you already own: reworking rooms, replacing what has worn out, opening up a plan that no longer suits the household. Australian housing stock makes that a very wide category. A weatherboard cottage on stumps, a post-war brick veneer on a slab, a Queenslander with living space underneath and a 1990s project home all renovate differently, and the first useful conversation with a builder is about what is actually behind the linings rather than what the finished room should look like.

Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:
- Size and scope of the project
- Structural changes, such as moving or removing walls
- Plumbing, electrical and HVAC work involved
- Finishes and materials chosen
- Design, drawings and permits
- Condition of the existing house once it's opened up
- Access to the site and the timeline
How to choose renovation contractors in Sippy Downs
- Look for a contractor who has finished projects similar in size and type to yours, and ask to see them.
- Get a written contract with the scope, the payment schedule, the timeline and how changes will be priced.
- Ask who will manage the job day to day and how often you'll get updates.
- Check that they carry liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, and that their trades are licensed where required.
- Compare quotes on the same scope, and ask what each one leaves out.
- For structural changes, make sure an engineer or designer is involved where needed.
Questions to ask renovation contractors before you hire
- Who will pull the permits, and who will be there for inspections?
- Which parts of the job will you do yourselves, and which will go to subcontractors?
- How do you handle change orders and unexpected problems once walls are open?
- What is the payment schedule, and what is each payment tied to?
- Can you show me proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage?
- What warranty do you offer on your workmanship, and is it in writing?
- Can I speak with a few of your recent clients?
Home renovation permits in Queensland
Some home renovation work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
Licensing in Queensland
General contracting and renovation
QBCC states that individuals and companies must hold a licence to carry out — that is, to contract for — building work above a value threshold it sets. In most cases you do not need your own licence if you are doing the work as an employee of a licensed contractor. Ask for the licence number and check it on the QBCC register.
General contracting and renovation
The National Construction Code sets the technical provisions for designing and constructing buildings and plumbing and drainage systems, but it has no force of its own: the ABCB states that the NCC is given legal effect through state and territory building and plumbing legislation, and that adoption dates are set by each state's administration. Requirements can apply at different times, or not at all, because of state variations — and the ABCB notes that gasfitting and electrical work are not covered by the NCC at all.

Guides about home renovation
- ✦
Builders guide
In Australia the person who takes on a whole renovation is usually called a builder, and on larger jobs a building contractor or project manager.

Whole Home Renovations guide
A whole-home renovation takes the entire house at once: every room stripped back, the plan redrawn, the services renewed and the finishes replaced, often with part of the building demolished and rebuilt.

Home Extensions guide
An addition adds floor area to an existing house: a room or two off the back, a new wing, a second storey over part or all of the footprint, or habitable space built in underneath a raised timber-floored home.

Common home renovation questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
