Brisbane Smith & Sons
Smith & Sons Melbourne are a network of quality builders specialising in home renovations & extensions across Melbourne and the surrounding areas.
As a professional home renovations & extensions company, we aim to provide exceptional service and high-quality workmanship to create your dream home, as well as adding value to your property, all across Melbourne.
Melbourne is one of Australia’s most iconic and diverse cities and stretches from the mountain ranges of the Dandenongs all the way to Port Phillip Bay, and west around to Geelong. As such, the vast scope of places to live from inner-city units to large homes on acreage means there is a neighborhood and living environment to suit everyone.
Smith & Sons builders across Melbourne understand the local conditions that will affect your home renovation, from environmental factors such as light and breeze to local council / city regulations that we will navigate on your behalf.
We work with you through the entire process, starting with your initial ideas all the way through to the final result. We understand that renovating can be daunting, so our aim is to make it an easy process to minimize any disruption to your daily life.
To give you the best experience possible, we ensure that…
- We take care of the process from beginning to end
- We give efficient and reliable service.
- We have qualified staff who will listen to all your needs.
- We have high-quality workmanship.
- We will complete the project on time, and to a budget.

Our Melbourne Builders are members of leading construction industry associations and are able to offer the appropriate insurances and guarantees.

Our Melbourne builders are trade qualified, fully licensed, and experienced in all types of home renovations, extensions, and building repair work (including earthquake repairs), making them fully equipped to handle home makeovers in any shape or form.
Our Simple 3 Step Renovation Process
Rather than separately employing the services of an architect, engineer, and building company, we manage the entire process, including gaining appropriate building consents, from start to finish for you.
Design: We will sit and talk with you, listen, and understand what you want and need for your renovation. We will then create concept drawings and ensure you are happy with the design, and that the work fits within your budget.
Plan: The planning stage is where we complete all architectural and design plans, engineers’ drawings, and all council and city approvals. We will also map out your construction schedule to fit around you, and your lifestyle comfortably.
Construct: This is where the fun begins as our team of expert builders and tradespeople bring your dreams to life. With one point of contact throughout the entire renovation process, you will be kept well up to date on all onsite movements.
Our specialist renovation builders cover the entire Melbourne region and beyond. We currently operate 7 offices in the region, each owned and operated by a fully qualified builder and Licensed Building Practitioner.
The offices are:
Doncaster
Eltham
Greensborough
Moreland
Preston
Ringwood
Frankston
So, if you are thinking of renovating anywhere around the Melbourne region, we have a specialist team who can help. We have extensive knowledge of the local areas, council regulations, and have established networks of contractors and consultants, you can rest assured your home is in expert hands.
Our services range from the largest highly complex architectural projects to simple makeovers and room updates including:
Bathroom makeovers
New kitchen design and installation
Adding another level
Removing walls to create a more open plan living space
Adding rooms to the house
Outdoor living areas
Recladding and Leaky Home Repairs
Adding or converting a garage or sleep out
Retail shop fit-outs and light commercial work.
These services are provided across the entire area of Melbourne. As locals, we understand the council requirements, ground, and weather conditions to perfectly design and build your next renovation or extension.
