Compare the scope, not just the price
The cheapest quote is rarely the cheapest project.
Bathroom quotes are difficult to compare because builders describe scope in different ways. One quote may include waterproofing, screeding, tiling and certification; another may treat them as extras. One may allow $2,000 for tiles; another may allow $5,000. One may include rubbish removal and site protection; another may leave them to you.
These guides give you the vocabulary to ask what is included, what is excluded and what happens if the scope changes. Use them alongside our Brisbane bathroom renovation cost guide and our contractor comparison checklist.
- Ask every builder for a written scope with inclusions and exclusions.
- Check the licence, insurance and contract before paying a deposit.
- Confirm how waterproofing will be tested and certified.
- Ask for a realistic programme with decision deadlines.
- Compare allowances, not just the headline price.

About our guides
Who writes them, how to use them and how we handle project evidence.
Who writes these guides?
They are written by our Brisbane team from the practical issues we see on renovation sites. They are general information for Queensland homeowners, not legal, financial or engineering advice. For decisions about your specific property, speak to the relevant qualified professional and check current QBCC guidance.
Can I use these guides to compare quotes?
Yes. The contract, licensing and waterproofing guides are designed to help you ask better questions and compare scopes rather than just prices. If a quote is unclear, ask the builder to put the missing detail in writing before you sign.
Do you publish client case studies?
Only with written permission, and we do not invent project addresses or testimonials. Our gallery currently uses clearly labelled representative illustrations. As real projects are photographed and approved, they will replace the illustrations.
How do I get a quote for my Brisbane bathroom?
Call (07) 8590 6941 or use the quote request form. We will discuss the room, your budget range and timing, then arrange an on-site measure if the project is a fit. The measure and written quote are free within our standard Greater Brisbane service area.
