At Building Company Canberra, we specialise in transforming existing homes into vibrant, functional, and modern living spaces. Whether you’re expanding for a growing family, modernising a dated home, or adding value before selling, our renovation and extension services are tailored to meet the unique needs of Canberra homeowners.
Canberra is evolving—so should your home. From heritage homes in the Inner South to expanding families in Gungahlin, local homeowners are choosing to upgrade rather than relocate. Renovating not only increases comfort and style but also adds significant value to your property.
Lifestyle Upgrade: Create open-plan living, update kitchens and bathrooms, or add an extra bedroom.
Stay in Your Community: Keep your neighbours, schools, and local lifestyle while enjoying a modern home.
Energy Efficiency: Update insulation, windows, and fittings to reduce energy costs—especially in Canberra’s cold winters.
We breathe new life into existing structures—reconfiguring layouts, upgrading finishes, and maximising functionality.
These high-impact areas can transform how you live. We focus on smart design, durable materials, and premium finishes that suit your style.
Need more space but limited by your block size? Adding another level is ideal for suburbs like Woden and Weston Creek.
Create space for a new living area, home office, or guest room while seamlessly blending with your existing home design.
