Our Area

Famous for its long beaches and golden sands, the Gold Coast is a spectacular place to live and visit. The Gold Coast encapsulates varied landscapes from beaches to rugged mountain ranges, and its culture and people are just as diverse.

As professional renovation builders, we see a great opportunity for Gold Coast residents to renovate and profit in many ways. Many homes in and around the Gold Coast already have fantastic land value, and a home renovation can unlock huge capital gains. Not only that, rental properties can also benefit from renovations as higher rent can often be demanded.

And of course there are the home owners that simply want their Gold Coast home to match the Gold Coast lifestyle – just beautiful! We love nothing better than to see people really enjoy their newly renovated home!

Our Services

Home Extensions: A home extension is a great way to add space and value to your home without having to go through the stress and expense of moving house. It involves expanding your home by building additional rooms or extending existing ones. Home extensions can range from the edition of a single room to a more complex project, such as adding a second storey. With the help of our professional builders, we can create a custom design that meets your needs and reflects your personal style, all while enhancing the functionality and value of your home.

Second Storey Additions: A second storey addition is a popular way to add extra living space to your home. It involves adding a new level on top of your existing home, creating additional bedrooms, bathrooms, or living areas. If you love where you live, a second storey addition is a great solution for your family that has outgrown their current lowset home. It can also be a cost-effective alternative to moving to a larger home in a more expensive area. With our help, you can design a custom second storey addition that complements your existing home and meets your specific requirements and budget.

Home Makeover Projects: Our expert team specialise in complete home makeovers that transform your home into a beautiful and functional living space. From small-scale renovations to complete interior and exterior overhauls, we can help you achieve your home renovation dreams. Our team of skilled professionals will work with you to create a custom design that meets your needs and style.

Kitchens: We believe that your kitchen is the heart of every home. A kitchen renovation can range from a simple update with new cabinetry, benchtops and fixtures through to a complete redesign that completely transforms the space.

Bathroom and Laundries: Dreamt of a bath to relax in after a long day at work? One of our most popular renovation projects, let us help you create a bathroom or laundry renovation that’s functional and refreshing.

Granny Flats and Garage Conversions: A cost effective and great renovation solution to add value and space to your home without the expenses of moving.

Garages: Looking to transform your garage into a functional, yet stylish space for your vehicles or add storage, workspace, or even a man cave? We can help you maximise your garage space.

Decks and Outdoor Extensions: The outdoor space is an extension of your home. We specialise in creating custom outdoor decks and extensions that help you maximize your outdoor living space and enhance your outdoor lifestyle.

Knock-Down Rebuilds: Our experienced team will work with you to design a custom home that reflects your unique style, requirements, and budget. From obtaining council approvals to final inspections, we'll manage every step of the process to ensure that your new home is safe, efficient, and completed on time.

Commercial: We offer a range of commercial construction services that help businesses achieve their goals. From small office renovations to large commercial builds, we have the expertise to deliver high-quality results.

Unit Renovations: Thinking of a renovation on your unit or apartment? We offer unit renovation services that are customised to your needs, preferences, and financial plan outcomes that amplify the potential of your unit.

Re-Cladding: Update and improve the exterior of your home with confidence. You can trust us to deliver a re-cladding result that not only looks great but also protects your home from the elements.

 

What Is The DPC?

Are you considering a major home renovation? Smith & Sons Gold Coast Central offer a unique DPC process that can help you achieve your goals. DPC stands for Design, Plan and Construct, it is a thorough three-step process that has been developed by Smith & Sons specifically for large-scale home renovation projects. With DPC, our team works closely with you throughout each phase, from design, planning and construction, ensuring a seamless and collaborative experience along the entire journey.

Design

The design phase marks the beginning of your home transformation. It's where our builders will first connect with you to discuss the changes you would like to make. Regardless of whether you have a few ideas in mind or are starting from scratch with no idea where to start, our experienced team is here to guide you. Drawing on years of building experience, we work together with you to create a custom design that caters to your specific needs, lifestyle, budget, and timelines.

If you're considering a home renovation all you need to do is contact us and we'll take care of the rest.

Plan

After collaborating with our builders and finalising your design in the design stage, we move on to stage two – planning your home transformation! Our planning stage includes obtaining all required permits and ensuring compliance with local regulations to prevent any unexpected issues during the construction phase to ensure a smooth renovation process. After all the details have been taken care of, we move on to the most exciting part of the process, where construction finally begins!

Construct

Get ready to say goodbye to the old and welcome to the new! Our builders are here to make your dream home a reality. We understand that home renovations can be stressful, and during this phase communication is paramount. We will keep you informed every step of the way, and our builders are always available to answer your questions.

Our builders will guide you through the changes made and provide you with any other relevant information. It's time to sit back, relax, and enjoy your brand-new renovated home! With our team of experts by your side, building your renovation dreams has never been easier.
