If you haven’t renovated before, it’s not always obvious how an idea becomes a finished project, especially since costs vary so much depending on location, labour rates and the finishes you choose.
Are you planning to gut a kitchen or bathroom and start again, or after something more cost effective, like new handles, a benchtop or a shower screen? Or are you thinking about the whole house?
Different customers need different things from us. Some want help turning ideas into a workable floor plan. Some want an interior designer to help choose furniture and materials. Some want all of it.
Even if you’re not ready to commit to a full design or project management service, you can hire a 123 Projects design consultant on an hourly rate to help refine your ideas first. A small upfront investment often clarifies the scope and budget before you’re locked into anything.
We’ll work with you to sharpen your renovation vision, get a realistic sense of cost, and refine the plan to match your budget if needed. Once work is underway, our trades follow all relevant building codes and standards as a matter of course.
If that sounds like what you need, get in touch to book a free initial consultation at your home.
It depends on your budget and how the space is holding you back. If the layout still works but the finishes feel dated, a partial update, like new benchtops or a shower screen, can be enough. If the floor plan doesn’t suit how you live, a fuller renovation is usually the better investment. We can help you work out which applies to your home.
Not always, but it helps. A design consultation upfront, even on an hourly rate, gives you a clearer sense of scope and cost before you commit to the full project.
It depends heavily on scope. A single room renovation is usually a matter of weeks, while a full home renovation or extension can run several months. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe once we understand the scope, plus a contingency buffer.
For a single kitchen or bathroom renovation, if you have another one to use, yes. For a major remodel where electrical or plumbing will be disconnected for a while, we’d recommend moving out for the duration.
123 Projects has helped homeowners across Brisbane’s inner north west turn renovation plans into finished homes since 2014, from full-scale remodels to single bathroom and kitchen updates.
