Renovate your Sunshine Coast home with a builder who plans for what sits behind the walls and stays across the job personally.
Renovating is harder than building new. You are working with what is already there, and a share of the decisions come down to what the builder finds once the walls are open. That is why the builder matters more on a renovation than on almost any other project.
Tom Robilliard oversees your project and remains your main point of contact from the first conversation through to handover. A dedicated foreman runs the day-to-day build, supported by our team of skilled builders and carpenters. At handover, you’ll receive a detailed walkthrough and a customised home manual, followed by 12 months of maintenance support to ensure everything performs as it should.
Our wider team are carpenters as well as builders, which shows in the parts of a renovation people notice most: how new joinery, trims and junctions meet the original fabric of the house.
Sunshine Coast homes built in the 70s and 80s hide things. Rot behind cladding, walls that turn out to be load bearing, wiring that has to come out, asbestos. We investigate as much as we can before quoting and allow properly for what we cannot see. What we will not do is quote low, start work, then hand you a variation every fortnight.
Before construction starts you get concept plans and an early cost estimate, then finalised plans, a detailed quote and a construction schedule with milestones. If you have an architect or designer, send their plans through before our initial meeting and we will review them properly. If you have not appointed anyone, we can introduce you to the design team we work with.
Through construction you get weekly site meetings on your own job and weekly reports covering work completed and what is coming next. You also have 24/7 access to our building software, where you can view daily progress photos, expenses and the selections you need to make.
We take on whole home and major structural renovations rather than single room updates. If you are planning one bathroom or a cosmetic refresh, we will tell you early rather than waste your time.

We begin with a simple conversation. During this session, we’ll explore your reasons for starting the project, your vision, your preferences, and address any questions you may have.
If you have not yet engaged other professionals, we can discuss collaborating with the team of trusted Architects, Building Designers, and Interior Designers that we have hand-selected to work with our clients.
If you’ve already got preliminary plans in place, we’re excited to work alongside your chosen team. Please send them through before our Initial Meeting so we can review them thoroughly.
Here we meet on-site to delve deeper into your ideas and preferences, review concepts, and discuss any specific site details. It is a valuable opportunity to strengthen our understanding of your vision and ensure it is integrated moving forward.
We provide a Preliminary Agreement for signing, which will allow us to prepare all of the documents required in the pre-construction phase.
This is where your vision starts to come to life with initial concept plans. We will provide you with an estimate of costs and continue to refine the details while communicating with the Design team to prepare schedules for the project.
Once the concept is refined and approved, we’ll move into finalising the plans. At this stage, we’ll present a detailed, transparent quote that breaks down all costs involved in the build. We’ll also outline a clear construction schedule, including key milestones and timeframes, so you’ll know exactly what to expect throughout the process. This ensures you have a complete understanding of the journey ahead
With the plans and details confirmed, it’s time to formalise everything. The final contract and fee schedule will be signed, ensuring all parties are aligned and committed to the agreed terms. This step is designed to give you peace of mind and confidence as we move forward with your project.
Now comes the exciting part—building your dream home or space! Our skilled team will bring the vision to life, handling every detail with care and precision. Tom will be your main point of contact, keeping you informed every step of the way. Regular updates and progress reports will be provided, and we’ll organise site meetings so you can see the transformation in person. This collaborative process ensures you’re fully involved and can enjoy the thrill of seeing your project come together.
The moment you have been waiting for – the build is complete! Once construction is finished, we’ll organise a final walkthrough to ensure every corner reflects the vision of your dream project.
Three commitments we make to every client, and how we deliver on them.
We investigate as far as we can before quoting and allow for the likely unknowns. If something genuinely unforeseen appears, you hear about it the same day, with the options and what each one costs. Nothing lands on you as a surprise at invoice stage.
We plan how the site is set up before work starts, so noise, dust and mess are contained and the parts of the house not under construction stay protected. Work areas are secured at the end of each day, and we agree access and working hours with you upfront so there are no surprises once the crew is on site.
We plan each junction between the existing home and the new work so the proportions, materials and details feel intentional. Where a modern contrast is part of the design, it is carefully resolved so it complements the original house.
You receive a cost estimate at concept stage and a detailed quote before contract. Cost depends on scope, the condition of the existing home and the finish level, which is why we investigate properly before quoting.
We plan the site setup before work starts so mess and disruption are contained, protect the areas not under construction, and secure the site at the end of each day.
We investigate upfront and allow for likely unknowns. Anything genuinely unforeseen is raised with you straight away, with costed options.
