This is one of the most common questions we’re asked—and for good reason. Every renovation is unique, and costs can vary significantly depending on the size, scope, and level of finish you’re after.
As a guide, our full-home architectural renovations typically start from around $3,000–$4,000 per sqm, with high-end or complex projects ranging higher depending on design details, structural work, and selections.
At AP Designer Homes, we take a transparent approach—working closely with you to establish a clear budget early, then providing a detailed fixed-price proposal so there are no surprises along the way.

Yes, absolutely. At AP Designer Homes we specialise in transparent, fixed-price contracts that give you complete peace of mind. Once the design and specifications are finalised, we prepare a comprehensive fixed-price proposal that clearly outlines every inclusion and allowance—so there are no hidden costs or surprises during construction. For projects that involve complex structural work or evolving designs, we can also offer cost-plus arrangements, providing full visibility over actual costs as the project progresses.
