HOME RENOVATIONS IN MELBOURNE
Renovations, extensions and major home transformations by an experienced family-run builder.
RENOVATING YOUR HOME
A renovation should make your home work better, look better, and feel better to live in
Most people renovate because they like where they live, but the home no longer works as well as it should. They may need more space, better light, a kitchen that suits how the family uses the home, a bathroom that works properly, or an older house brought up to the standard of modern living. A good renovation should improve the way the home works, the way it looks, and the way it feels to live in.
Renovating also brings a lot of decisions. There are plans, permits, selections, trades, timelines, site conditions and quality checks to coordinate. We plan for that from the start. We explain what is happening, keep the work properly managed, and take care with the parts of the build you see and the parts behind the walls that matter just as much.
WHAT WE DO
From one room
From one room
to a whole home
The renovation work Melbourne families ask us for most.
Kitchen Renovations
The room most families use the most. We rework the layout, the storage, and the finishes so the kitchen suits how you really cook and gather.
Bathroom Renovations
Bathrooms and ensuites rebuilt properly, with the waterproofing and tiling done to last, not just to look right on day one.
Whole-Home Renovations
A full renovation across the house, with the rooms, the flow, and the light reworked together rather than one at a time.
Period and Heritage Renovations
Older bayside homes brought up to the way you live now, with the character of the original home kept rather than stripped out.
Living Space Additions
More room where your family needs it, with better natural light and a layout that opens the home up rather than closing it in.
Design and Build
Architectural design and interior design in-house, so the drawings and the build are handled by one team.
HOW WE WORK
Our renovation process, from first conversation to handover
A renovation has multiple moving parts to coordinate, including design, permits, budgets, selections, site access, trades, timing and quality checks. We guide the work from the first conversation through to handover, so you know what is happening, what needs to be decided and who to speak to.
Whether you are still at the beginning or already have plans prepared, we can help move the project forward. We work through the design, budget, documentation and construction stages carefully, with the right people involved at the right time.
WHY BRAY
Why renovate with Bray Constructions
Experience and Expertise
We have worked on renovations, extensions and major home transformations across Melbourne's bayside, inner south and inner east. That experience helps us understand the existing structure, site conditions, approvals, trades and details that affect the final result.
Clear Communication
We explain what is happening, what is coming next and what needs to be decided. You stay involved in the important decisions, without being left to manage the renovation yourself.
Collaborative Approach
We can work with your architect, designer and consultants, or help bring the right people together if the project is still early. The aim is to keep the design, documentation and build properly coordinated.
Quality Workmanship
We build to a high standard across every part of the home. That includes the waterproofing, framing, site management and work behind the walls, not only the finishes you see at the end.
Customer Care
Service, quality and integrity have been part of Bray Constructions from the beginning. We are available, clear and honest with you through the project, and we speak with you properly when something needs to be decided.
Renovations our clients still love
The best sign of a good renovation is hearing from the family years later, still happy in the home we worked on.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Bray Construction. Lukas and the team, led by Troy, did an amazing job on our major renovation. They were friendly, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile. We really appreciated how they stepped in to fill the gaps left by our design team and came up with great practical solutions along the way. The whole process felt smooth and supported, and the end result has exceeded our expectations. We absolutely love our renovated home and would recommend Bray Construction without hesitation!

Bray Constructions built our new house in Hampton after successfully completing 2 renovations over 20 years. Bray is the only builder we contacted when we were building our dream house. From the start to finish the entire team are professional with great communication. Our new house was delivered early and on budget, with no surprises. We have recommended Bray to friends and family who have all had the same experience.

Lukas, Brendon and Team Bray managed our build from concept to construction. The whole experience was exceptionally managed and allowed my wife and I to enjoy the process - all during a pandemic and with a new bubba. Their team were personable, professional and facilitated “the uninitiated” easy access to renovating a home that was deliver on time and budget. We’ve been in for a few months now and the quality of build commented on by friends and family now they can come through.
Lukas, Brendon, Cody, Donna and Team, thank you. Thank you for making this easy!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions about home renovations in Melbourne
The cost depends on the size and scope of the renovation, the condition of the existing home, the materials and finishes selected, the site conditions and the amount of work involved. A kitchen or bathroom renovation is different from a whole-home renovation, so we do not give a single price without first understanding the project.
The timeline depends on the scope of work, approvals, site conditions, material selections and construction requirements. Smaller renovations can move faster. Larger renovations, older homes and whole-home projects usually need more time because there is more to coordinate.
Yes. Bray Constructions can help with design, permits, documentation, construction and the finishing details needed to complete the renovation. If you already have an architect, designer or drawings prepared, we can work with them and help take the project through construction
Yes. Period and heritage-style homes often need careful planning, because the renovation has to improve how the home works while keeping the character and details worth preserving.
The first step is to contact Bray Constructions and tell us what you are planning. It helps to have your project address, the type of renovation you are considering, any plans or drawings you already have, and a general idea of what you want to achieve.
