starting is essential. In Australia, renovation prices vary depending on structure, condition, materials, and labour requirements.
1. Structural Repairs Matter Most
Old homes often need formwork carpentry, steel fixing, and plumbing corrections before cosmetic changes.
2. Utilities Must Be Updated
Electrical rewiring and plumbing upgrades are usually mandatory for safety and compliance.
3. Finishing Determines the Look
Painting, tiling, and interior finishing take up 25–35% of the budget.
Average Cost: AUD 1,800 – 3,500 per m² depending on condition.
If your home is older than 25 years, expect structural adjustments.
