Brisbane kitchen renovations

Kitchen renovations Brisbane — built by a builder, not just fitted.

Axena Projects coordinates kitchen renovations across Brisbane, from cabinetry and benchtops to plumbing, electrical and building work. We assess your existing layout and any proposed structural changes, then set out the work and allowances in an agreed scope.

Axena is Brisbane based, with completed renovation work in Bulimba, Morningside and Wellington Point. We build across Brisbane, down through Logan, and out to the Redlands.

Our Wellington Point kitchen and whole-home renovation includes a kitchen with a butler’s pantry alongside bathrooms and structural work. This project is in Wellington Point, Redlands. See the project scope and before-and-after photographs.

Why it matters

The difference a licence makes

Brisbane has excellent cabinet makers — and most kitchen renovations fail not at the cabinets, but at everything around them. Who takes out the wall between the kitchen and dining? Who certifies the new electrical circuits for the induction top and oven stack? Who moves the gas, patches the slab, matches the flooring, and takes responsibility when all of those trades have to land in the right order?

At Axena, the answer to all of it is us. As open-licensed builders we design and deliver the whole room: structural openings with engineered beams where needed, plumbing and electrical relocations with compliance certificates, plastering, flooring, tiling, stone, cabinetry and lighting — sequenced and warranted by one company, priced in one fixed quote.

The kitchens you see here are real Axena projects in real Brisbane and Logan homes — 40mm stone, custom joinery, butler's pantries, and the structural work that turned closed-in 90s kitchens into the heart of the house.

How it works

How your kitchen comes together

  1. 01

    Site visit & design

    We measure, look at what's structural, and talk through layout options — island or galley, where the light comes from, whether a wall should go. You get a fixed-price quote with cabinetry, stone and appliance allowances itemised.

  2. 02

    Selections

    Cabinetry finishes, stone, splashback, tapware, appliances — locked in before demolition. Long-lead items are ordered early to reduce avoidable delays during construction.

  3. 03

    The build

    Typically 2–4 weeks on site depending on structural scope. Demolition, structural work, services rough-in, sheeting, cabinetry installation, stone templating and fit-off, splashback, appliances and detail.

  4. 04

    Handover

    Compliance certificates for electrical and plumbing work, appliance manuals and care guides in one pack, and a kitchen that's ready to cook in that night.

Cost

What does a kitchen renovation cost in Brisbane?

  • $30k–$80kTypical complete kitchen
  • FixedPrice after a site visit
  • ItemisedCabinetry, stone and appliance allowances
  • 2–4 weeksTypically on site

Most complete kitchen renovations we build across Brisbane land between $30,000 and $80,000. The spread comes down to size, whether walls or plumbing move, and your choice of benchtops, appliances and joinery.

Every Axena kitchen is quoted as a fixed price after a site visit, with supply allowances itemised — so you can see exactly what the cabinetry, stone and appliances are costing, and tune selections to hit your number before anything is signed.

At handover

Your certificates and manuals, in one pack.

When your kitchen is finished you receive the electrical and plumbing compliance certificates, appliance manuals and care guides together in one pack.

Where structural work is involved, engineering certification (Form 15/16) is part of the documentation.

Questions

Common questions

What has the biggest effect on kitchen renovation cost?

Cabinetry and joinery scope, benchtop and appliance selections, layout changes, service relocations and structural work can all affect the total. Their relative contribution depends on your project; one item is not always the biggest cost. Compare the agreed scope and itemised supply allowances together. See our kitchen cost guide above.

Can you remove the wall between my kitchen and living area?

In most homes, yes — and it's often the single change that transforms the space. As open-licensed builders we assess whether the wall is load-bearing, arrange engineering where it is, install the beam, and make good the ceiling, walls and floor. It's all included in the fixed price rather than pushed onto you to organise separately.

How long will I be without a kitchen?

Typically 2–4 weeks on site depending on structural scope. We order cabinetry and stone before demolition day so the build runs continuously, and we'll help you set up a temporary kitchen — most families run on the barbecue, air fryer and laundry sink for a couple of weeks.

What's a PC allowance and how do appliance costs work?

Your quote itemises supply allowances for things you select — appliances, tapware, stone. If your chosen oven costs less than the allowance, the difference is credited back to you; if it costs more, you pay only the difference on that item. It keeps the quote fixed while leaving you free to choose.

Do you do the stone and splashback too?

Yes — benchtops are templated and installed within our scope, and tiled or glass splashbacks, flooring and lighting are all part of the one job. One builder, one schedule, one warranty.

Is your electrical and plumbing work certified?

Always. New circuits, relocated gas and water are done by licensed trades under our coordination, and you receive the compliance certificates at handover — along with any Form 15/16 engineering certification where structural work was involved.

Do you renovate kitchens and bathrooms together?

Often — combining them into one project saves on trades' mobilisation and usually shortens the total disruption compared to doing them a year apart. We'll quote the combination as one fixed price so you can see the saving.
