Most Trusted Home Renovations
Looking to upgrade your living space and add value to your Brisbane or Fairfield home?
These projects offer the advantage of improving your life today, tomorrow and years down the track if you ever decide to sell.
At Hardy Construction, we partner with homeowners who want to put their unique spin on their home, because life’s too short not to love where you live.
Our skilled team can help you with all aspects of home renovation including new roofing, siding, windows, decking and more. Unlock a more enjoyable, livable space that’s also more energy efficient and enticing to future home buyers.
Interior home remodelling is also far reaching and can include upgrading kitchens and bathrooms, freshening up paint and flooring, and changing floor plans to accommodate extra bedrooms or more closet space. Our home improvement projects are more than an exercise in function – we bring to life creative projects that turn an existing house into a custom home that you and your family will love for years to come.
Is the time right to renovate your Brisbane or Fairfield home?
Unsure whether should renovate your current home or move to a new one? You love your neighbourhood and you feel at home on your land, so say goodbye to a strange floor plan or a frustrating lack of closets. Moving is stressful and difficult (not to mention you’ll need to find a new local coffee shop you love). Allow the Hardy Construction team to help you upgrade your life without uprooting it. Home renovations can be more affordable and easier than a full-on move, and you’ll also add value to your home if you decide to sell in the future.
Read on for a selection of challenges that this project can solve for you:
- No more outdated or worn finishes
- No more lack of storage space
- No more awkward floor plan
- Save money on frequent repairs
- Improved energy efficiency
- No more clutter build up
- No more under-utilised indoor or outdoor space
How much will this home improvement project cost?
The extent of your home renovation will directly affect what you can expect to spend. On average, the cost to renovate a home works out to $600 to $700 per square metre, but this depends on what you’re doing with your space.
The costs typically fall between $20,000 and $80,000 for an entire home – again dictated by space, labour, and materials. Of course, the fancier the finishes you choose, the more you will spend on supplies.
How long does this project take?
The majority of home improvement projects take between 4 to 7 months.
Again, this is largely dictated by the type of work needed and the size of your home.
It’s easy to focus on construction times only, but the process also includes:
- planning
- coordinating subcontractors
- acquiring permits
- waiting for material shipments
Comparatively smaller projects will take less time. For example, a kitchen renovation can take 2 to 5 months whereas a bathroom remodelling can take a few weeks up to a couple of months to complete.
Mapping out the home improvement process
It’s up to you to decide exactly what you want to update and an overall budget you have to work with. From there, our experts will be able to give you an estimate and confirm whether or not your ideas can be brought to stunning life.
The plan for your home will vary based on the type of work to be done (for example, bathrooms vs. roofing). To help you visualise your next project, here’s an overview of what the process looks like:
- Discuss your ideas with a licensed and insured contractor.
- Draw up plans, designs, or architecture changes.
- Outline any required approvals or permits.
- Create a budget and proposed timeframe for completion.
- Remove existing materials from the home and clean the space.
- Measure for new fixtures or supplies and place orders.
- Make structural changes and rough in windows, electrical, or plumbing.
- Prep surfaces such as new drywall, flooring, or roofing.
- Install larger fixtures including appliances, bath fittings, or decking.
- Fit cabinetry, lighting, and smaller fixtures.
- Complete all plumbing and electrical hookups.
- Clean space and address any remaining items or cleanup.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Renovations in Fairfield and Brisbane
How do I make a home improvement plan?
If you choose to work with a contractor, they should provide you with a schedule and overall plan for your project. But how do they put that together in the first place? A great starting point is a high-level plan created by the homeowner that explains the vision for the project along with budgets and overall concerns. Here are a few things to ask yourself as you create your own plan:
- Scope: What spaces are you renovating? Which items do you want to be kept or removed?
- Budget: What can you afford to spend overall? Do you have any wiggle room for the unexpected?
- Timeline: When do you want to start? When do you need the renovation completed?
- Goals: Are you updating a space or adding a completely new one?
- Inclusions: What fixtures, finishes, colours, materials do you want to be incorporated?
- Design: Do you have ideas in mind or samples to inspire you? Do you need an architect to offer input?
Is renovating an old house worth it?
In many ways, this comes down to cost. With your home renovation plan in hand and an estimate from your contractor, you should have a good idea of what you’ll expect to spend. From there, it can be a good idea to evaluate this in the context of your home’s current value, the real estate market in your area, and your plans for the future. This will add equity to your home, making it easier to sell for more later in the right market climate. Keep in mind that over-improving, such as installing industrial appliances in a residential kitchen, can make it harder for you to get a fair return.
Do I have to be out of my home while it is being renovated?
In some cases, it can be a bit cheaper to do things of the same nature at the same time. For example, if you are redoing flooring throughout the home, it’s more affordable to have it done everywhere at once. This could require you to leave the home for a few days. At other times, such as during a kitchen or bath remodel, you may prefer to take a hotel room for a short time to avoid the inconvenience of limited access to proper plumbing or fixtures. We work with every customer to establish clear expectations and timeframes to limit disruption as much as possible.
Can I buy some of the materials or fixtures for you to use?
We recommend handling this on a case-by-case basis. In many instances, fixtures and supplies are factored into the estimates provided. However, if you have a clawfoot tub that you want to be reused in the home or already bought a light fixture because you fell in love with it, we will work with you to use these items. If you have your eye on something, check to make sure that if you do buy an item it can still be used in the home the way you expect.
