Smart Home Renovations for Classic North Brisbane Homes

At Poyntz Construction, we help homeowners across North Brisbane update their homes without stripping away what makes them unique. We focus heavily on Queenslander renovations—those classic homes with soul, character, and history worth preserving.

As an experienced North Brisbane custom home builder, we understand what these houses need. Renovating a Queenslander isn’t just about looks. It’s about working with old structures, uneven floors, and layouts that don’t always suit modern living. We know how to open up spaces, improve flow, and bring in more natural light—while still respecting the original bones of the home.

We’ve restored verandahs, re-lined VJ walls, kept breezeways intact, and introduced modern kitchens, bathrooms, and extensions that feel like they’ve always belonged.

You might want:

  • An open-plan kitchen that connects with your deck

  • A master suite with better privacy and storage

  • A second living area or home office

  • Updated wiring, plumbing, or energy-efficient lighting

  • A better layout that suits your growing family

Whatever the brief, our team works closely with you to ensure the end result feels thoughtful and true to the home’s character.

With over 10 years of experience, our team has built a strong reputation for quality craftsmanship and honest service. We understand the quirks of older Queenslander homes and how to renovate them properly—from structural updates to thoughtful finishes.

We’ll guide you through the entire process—planning, design, approvals, and build. Our team listens to your ideas and priorities to create a home that fits your lifestyle and adds long-term value.

Why Work With a Local North Brisbane Custom Home Builder?

Queenslander renovations take more than just skill with a hammer. They need local knowledge, good design instincts, and the ability to plan around quirks, not bulldoze them.

As a North Brisbane custom home builder, we bring years of hands-on experience in both renovations and new builds. But renovations are where we really shine. We understand the council requirements, the common structural issues with older homes, and how to get the most out of your existing footprint.

Here’s what working with us looks like:

  • We start with a proper conversation—no pressure, just clarity

  • From concept to handover, we’re your single point of contact

  • We map out realistic timelines and budgets

  • Our trades show up when they’re meant to

  • We aim for minimal disruption—and clear communication

Most importantly, we don’t treat your home like just another project. We know you’ve got a vision, and it’s our job to help you realise it—with honesty, detail, and pride in the work.
