Renovating a house in Sydney costs significantly more than elsewhere in Australia, with labour and materials typically running 20 to 30 percent higher than other capital cities.
For a full renovation of a three to four bedroom home, expect to pay somewhere between $250,000 and $450,000 for mid to high-end finishes, covering the kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, and general updates. At the lower end, a cosmetic refresh such as fresh paint, new flooring, and updated lighting can cost $20,000 to $50,000. Per square metre, quality renovations generally sit around $3,000 to $5,000.
Sydney’s older housing stock, tight site access in many suburbs, and strict council requirements can push costs up further. At Mitroteam Projects, we provide transparent, itemised quotes with no surprise costs, so you know exactly what you are getting from the start.
