Renovating a homes in Brisbane.

Planning a home renovation or extension in Brisbane? Formarda provides expert building design and drafting services to help homeowners transform their existing property into a space that truly suits their lifestyle.

 

Whether you're extending a growing family home, reconfiguring an outdated floor plan, raising and building under a Queenslander, or modernising an older property, our licensed building designer brings over 17 years of experience delivering renovations and extensions across Brisbane and Southeast Queensland. We understand the unique character of Brisbane homes, from timber Queenslanders to post-war brick homes and design renovations that respect the existing structure while making it work better for how you live today.

 

Every renovation and extension we design is developed with Brisbane City Council requirements in mind from the very first concept, helping to reduce delays, avoid costly redesigns, and keep your project moving smoothly from initial idea through to council-ready construction drawings. From small internal reconfigurations to full second-storey additions, we manage the design and documentation process so you can renovate with confidence.

Our Renovation Design Process

  • Initial consultation — we discuss your goals, budget, and what you want to achieve from the renovation or extension.

  • Site assessment — we measure and assess your existing home, noting structural elements, orientation, and any constraints.

  • Concept design — we develop initial design options that balance your brief with what's achievable on your site and under council requirements.

  • Design refinement — we refine the chosen concept with you until the layout and detail feel right.

  • Documentation and drafting — we prepare detailed, council-ready construction drawings.

  • Council submission support — where approval is required, we prepare and coordinate the documentation needed.

Renovating a Queenslander in Brisbane

Queenslander homes come with their own design considerations character preservation, stump and stair configurations, and often heritage or character overlays depending on the suburb. We have specific experience renovating and extending Queenslanders in a way that respects the home's original character while making it work better for modern living.
