Renovation guides

What are these guides?

Each guide answers one question Gold Coast homeowners ask before they renovate: what a kitchen, bathroom or deck costs, which timber to use, and which Queensland rules apply. The answer comes first, then the detail.

Where do the prices come from?

From published Australian cost guides and government pages, opened on the day each guide was written. Every guide lists its sources and the date they were checked. They are market prices, not a quote. For a real number, start with the free price check.

Who is behind them?

Field Carpentry, Brett Field's carpentry business on the Gold Coast. Brett has more than 25 years on the tools and reads every guide before it goes up. More about Brett.
