LEADING KITCHEN RENOVATIONS MELBOURNE

Kitchen Renovations

One of the most popular renovations around the home occurs in the kitchen. A new kitchen can breathe new life into your home. It truly is the heart of the house, not just for cooking but also for having a chat, checking your kid’s homework or having a drink with friends.

A good kitchen renovation starts with a plan to ensure the kitchen is functional and the stove, fridge, dishwasher and sink are positioned in the right places. Other features such as window splashbacks, walk in pantry and large island benches can help to make your kitchen work the way you want.

Whether it is part of a larger house extension, or a stand alone project, we can help with ideas for your kitchen renovation. Our team of trades persons ensure you have the right plumbing, electrical, benchtops and cabinets for a dream kitchen you can be proud of.

Bathroom Renovations

A stylish bathroom renovation is always a welcome addition to your home. A well thought out bathroom design will make better use of the available space. At RQM Construction we understand the importance of correct waterproofing in the bathroom. Especially for frameless walk in showers.

Getting the tiling right is another vital consideration for your bathroom renovation. Light tiles help make a space look bigger and reflect any natural light. Darker tiles can create great contrast and a modern look. Our tilers are first rate, and we can help you with tile choices to suit your space and taste.

Ventilation and lighting are other important choices to make with bathrooms. This helps with keeping your bathroom fresh and easy to clean. Whether you have a budget bathroom renovation in mind, or a luxury style makeover, RQM can help make it happen.

HOME RENOVATION PROCESS

Home Renovation Process

Managing the renovation process is crucial to ensuring we finish the project on time and within your budget. Our process is similar for all renovations.

Design Planning

This stage is critical in the renovation process. If there is no structural work carried out there still needs to be a clear design laid out. This is so there is a clear understanding on what the builder has to quote and build.

Site Investigation and Quotation

With a clear understanding of the scope and budget we can provide a quote from the plans provided. Whether it is from a building designer or interior designer. For minor renovations such as a bathroom a plan is not required. A site investigation together with a clear brief from the client of expectations and outcomes is needed at this stage of the process.

Building Permits

A building permit is not always required for a renovation.  If the removal of walls or some sort of structural work is required thena permit is needed. Home Warranty Insurance is needed for all building work over $16,000.

Building Stage

Demolition
Framing
Pre plaster rough in electrical, plumbing, insulation, underfloor heating, heating/cooling 
Plastering
Fitout: electrical, plumbing, tiling, painting, flooring

Hand Over

Along the way we keep you informed of the stages and any issues with suppliers that may occur. We do our best to keep your home clean while we renovate, and to work in with your needs at home. Depending on the size and complexity of the renovation, some clients decide to move out for a while. Or cordon off a section of the house to minimise noise and disruption.

FAQs

Home Renovation Frequently Asked Questions

How much will it cost?

The cost of a building renovation depends on the size and complexity of the project. Fixtures and fittings will vary in price, especially things like flooring,  tiles, tapware, appliances, sinks and stone benchtops. Other factors influencing cost include the slope of the block, the state of the current house, its roofing and foundations. Once the building design is approved we prepare a detailed cost for your project. We keep you informed along the way in case changes or additions are required along the way.

How long does it take?

Renovation project timeframes vary as no two jobs are exactly the same. A small bathroom renovation make take weeks. Whereas a kitchen and living room renovation may take a few months. Especially if walls are to be removed, foundations changed and new plumbing lines need to be excavated and installed. Talk to us and we can provide a timeline once the exact nature of your renovation is determined.

Do you help with plans and permits?

Getting plans and permits approved quickly depends on the council and how well the documentation has been prepared. We have been dealing with local councils for years and know what they need for building permits. We can advise you and work with you on plans and building design.

Can you help with building design?

We have completed many renovations and have a good idea of what works and what doesn’t. Building design needs to consider both structural and engineering factors, as well as aesthetics and interior design. We can advise what has worked on similar projects and help you plan the spaces and flow in your house. Remember to consider how your design will maximise the natural light in your house.

Do I need a permit for a renovation?

Generally for non structural work no permit is required. But if walls are removed or window locations are changed then you will need a permit.

Do I need a registered builder to do my renovation?

Any work $10,000 will require a registered builder and a signed contract.

Perfect Project Management

I appreciated how RQM managed this project for us. The small issues they managed independently, but still kept us fully informed.

That way, the building process could continue and not be delayed. Anything of significance they gave us ample time to think, research and work collaboratively to find a solution that fit the budget, time and needs of the property

Very considerate builder

He was very considerate and made the areas functional as far as practicable. An example was ensuring the washing machine was re-connected as often as possible.

Our family forever home

My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the our decision to build with RQM! Rom and his team were amazing to deal with. Having lived through the build we were extremely happy with how accommodating they were. They really became part of the family.

Build pricing was very reasonable and Rom was more than happy to accomodate changes along the way. Build process was drama free, communication was good and it was completed on time. We now have our family forever home.
