These are planning ranges. Structural changes, imported materials, custom joinery and major plumbing or electrical alterations can push costs higher.

Kitchen Renovation

The kitchen is often one of the largest renovation expenses. Cabinet carcasses, door finishes, countertops, backsplash, flooring, lighting, sinks and plumbing all contribute to the final figure.

SUIMAS’s 2026 kitchen renovation cost guide explains how material selection and layout affect the budget.

For homeowners seeking a complete transformation, kitchen renovation services can combine cabinetry, countertops, lighting, flooring and finishing into one coordinated project.

Bathrooms

A four-bedroom home may contain two or more bathrooms, making bathroom renovation another major budget consideration. Retiling, waterproofing, showers, sanitaryware, vanity units, mirrors and lighting all need to be considered.

Premium bathrooms may also include walk-in showers, concealed fittings, freestanding bathtubs and custom vanity cabinetry.

Flooring Throughout the House

Replacing flooring can dramatically change an older home. Depending on the room, homeowners can consider porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles, vinyl, laminate, terrazzo or other finishes.

The most practical solution is often to select flooring according to use rather than installing the same material everywhere.

Ceilings and Lighting

Modern gypsum ceilings can conceal electrical services while introducing recessed lighting, cove lighting and feature details. SUIMAS provides gypsum ceiling installation for residential and commercial spaces.

Lighting should be designed at the same time as the ceiling, kitchen cabinetry and furniture layout.

Where Can Homeowners Save?

A renovation does not always require stripping the entire house.

If existing doors, windows, cabinet carcasses, plumbing lines or flooring are structurally sound, they may be retained. Money can then be concentrated on high-impact spaces such as the kitchen, living room, primary bedroom and main bathroom.

A professional assessment can help identify which elements need replacement and which can remain.
