Home renovations Melbourne. Kitchen, bathroom, extensions and full renovations across Melbourne. 20+ years experience. HBK Constructions. Free quotes.
Melbourne homeowners are renovating at record rates. Victoria’s renovation sector is worth $12.5 billion annually, second only to New South Wales. Renovations now account for more than 40% of all residential construction activity in the state. Home renovations in Melbourne are driven by practical economics: stamp duty on a median-priced Melbourne home runs around $70,000, making renovation financially superior to relocation in many cases.
HBK Constructions has been delivering home renovations across Melbourne for more than 20 years. We service a corridor from inner-south heritage suburbs through Bayside’s premium coastal addresses, southeast family suburbs, and the Mornington Peninsula. Our expertise covers the full range of Melbourne housing stock, from 1870s Victorian mansions through to 2000s estate homes. Kitchen renovations, bathroom renovations, home extensions, and full renovations are all delivered with fixed-price contracts.
This diversity creates a renovation market of enormous variety. Heritage-sensitive restoration in Toorak demands different skills than mid-century modern preservation in Beaumaris. Post-war brick veneer modernisation in Bentleigh East uses different approaches than holiday home conversion in Rosebud.
The renovation market is growing. After normalising from pandemic-era peaks, total national renovation activity reached $53.6 billion in 2024-25 according to the HIA, the first annual increase since 2021-22. Renovation lending is at all-time highs, more than double pre-pandemic levels. Three RBA rate cuts in 2025 boosted market sentiment.
Key demand drivers include the stamp duty barrier to relocation, Melbourne’s concentration of homes over 100 years old, post-COVID hybrid work driving home office additions, NCC 2022 energy standards reshaping renovation scopes, population growth exceeding 183,000 per year, and new dwelling completions at a decade-low.
Renovation costs in Melbourne in 2025: a mid-range kitchen renovation runs $30,000 to $60,000. Bathroom renovations cost $25,000 to $40,000 mid-range. Ground floor extensions cost $2,800 to $6,100 per sqm. Second storey additions run $3,800 to $6,400 per sqm. Full home renovations range from $90,000 to $300,000 or more.
Labour shortages persist across the industry. Premium contractors are booking 6 to 12 months ahead. Builder insolvencies remain an industry risk factor, making the choice of an established builder with a track record a practical consideration.
Kitchen renovations are the most popular renovation type across Melbourne. From heritage kitchens in inner suburbs to post-war brick veneer conversions in the southeast, the brief is consistent: create an open-plan kitchen-living space that functions as the heart of the home.
Bathroom renovations are the second most common project. Every housing era in Melbourne has bathrooms that need updating, from Victorian-era water closets to 1990s builder-grade ensuits.
Home extensions add living space without the cost and disruption of moving. Rear extensions, second-storey additions, and granny flat construction all serve Melbourne’s growing family population.
HBK specialises in four service corridors across Melbourne. Inner south heritage suburbs including Toorak, Caulfield North, and Elsternwick demand heritage-sensitive renovation with high-end finishes. Bayside suburbs including Brighton, Hampton, Beaumaris, and Sandringham combine coastal living with heritage and mid-century architecture. Southeast suburbs including Bentleigh East, Carnegie, Cheltenham, and Mentone offer post-war modernisation at scale. The Mornington Peninsula including Mornington, Mount Martha, Mount Eliza, and Rosebud provides coastal lifestyle renovation, holiday-to-permanent conversions, and bushfire-compliant construction.
Every project comes with a fixed-price contract. No hidden costs, no unexpected variations. We handle all permits, heritage applications, and compliance requirements.

We specialize in high-quality, long-lasting kitchen renovations. We focus on listening to what your whole family needs, from high-end designer kitchens for luxury residences to budget and mid-range kitchens.
Bathroom renovation is something we can boast about since we are one of Melbourne’s finest and most unique bathroom renovation businesses. We can design and develop the ideal bathroom solution for your home, whether you’d like to boost the value of your home or want a larger bathroom.
Renovations and improvements can completely transform your house. We are renovation contractors, unlike many others! We can renovate your entire house inside and out to build your dream home, rather than merely renovating your kitchen, adding an ensuite, or enclosing your outside area.
We’ve worked diligently for years to create high-quality house extensions all across Melbourne. We will walk you through the full process of adding a second story or ground floor extension, from design to handover, based on our many years of experience with house extensions to help clients transform their family homes into the dwelling of their dreams.
An open area with the proper design can transform the way you live. With specifically built, modern outdoor living solutions from Melbourne’s decking and pergola experts, you can make the most of your outside spaces and enhance your outdoor lifestyle.
When it comes to laundry renovations, we have a ton of experience and understanding. Perhaps you’d want your laundry room to be transformed into a European-style laundry room contained in a kitchen closet or a hallway cupboard. Maybe you want an open laundry room with a mudroom.
Whether it’s resurfacing you need or something more extensive, they’re the team to call. They use only premium quality products that have been highly rated in the industry and will make your pool look brand new!
