Planning home renovations in Kiama takes more than just great ideas. It takes local knowledge, thoughtful design, and builders you can rely on. Whether you're updating an ageing kitchen, opening up your living space, or completely transforming your home, having the right team behind you can make all the difference.
Lighthouse Projects & Construction is a family-owned business based in Kiama with over a decade of experience delivering home renovation solutions across the Illawarra region. From Wollongong to Nowra, they’ve helped homeowners achieve spaces that are practical, beautiful and built to last. Every project starts with understanding how your family lives, so the end result reflects your lifestyle and long-term goals.
Renovating a home is an investment in your future comfort and enjoyment. Working with a local builder who understands Kiama’s unique coastal environment and council regulations means faster approvals and fewer surprises during construction.
Lighthouse Projects & Construction brings local insight to every job. They specialise in updating a wide range of home styles, from beachside cottages to brick homes inland, taking into account design restrictions, weather exposure, and existing structure.
Here's what makes this team of Kiama builders stand out:
- Quick, clear communication
- Practical advice that reflects coastal conditions
- Relationships with trusted trades and suppliers in the region
- Solid understanding of local permits and council processes
A well-planned renovation is about more than looks. It’s about creating a space that works for how you live every day. From updating a tired bathroom to changing the layout of your entire floor plan, Lighthouse Projects & Construction creates tailored solutions that fit your budget and your goals.
They prioritise clear discussions from the beginning. Understanding what’s not working in your current home helps guide smarter renovations. A cramped kitchen might benefit from better workflow. A growing family might need a more open living area. Good design brings function and comfort together.
Some of the most popular home renovations in Kiama include:
- Kitchen renovations focused on improving layout and storage
- Bathroom upgrades using hard-wearing, modern finishes
- Full reconfigurations to achieve open-plan living
- Extensions that feel like part of the original home
- Structural changes that retain character but bring in more natural light and usability
Expect results that last, with materials chosen to handle Kiama's coastal conditions and a finish that complements the character of your home.
Not knowing what comes next can be one of the most stressful parts of a renovation. That’s why Lighthouse Projects & Construction follows a clear, structured process that keeps you informed and makes every stage easy to follow.
Their typical renovation journey includes:
1. A conversation to discuss your ideas, key goals, priorities and budget
2. A site visit to take measurements and assess the practical needs
3. Development of concept and design plans to review
4. Submitting documents for council or planning approval if needed
5. The build itself, including demolition, construction and final fit-off
6. A final walkthrough before handover, ensuring all work meets expectations
Throughout construction, you’ll get frequent updates and open communication. The result is a renovation you feel part of from day one.
Kiama’s climate, aesthetics and council regulations come with their own renovation challenges. From intense coastal winds to heritage protections, every job requires attention to local factors.
Lighthouse Projects & Construction uses quality products and practices that stand up to the environment. These include:
- Coastal-grade finishes to prevent rust or corrosion
- Mould-resistant materials in moisture-prone areas
- Improved ventilation and insulation for year-round comfort
- Careful integration of new elements into existing structures
Their goal is always to preserve your home’s charm while making it more durable and livable.
