Sustainable Home Renovations Builder
Love Where You Live, But Not How It Works?
If your home no longer fits your lifestyle, you’re not alone.
Many Canberra homeowners reach a point where the layout feels restrictive, the energy bills climb, and the space simply doesn’t reflect how they live today.
With our design and construction expertise, we help you reimagine your existing home guided by comfort, sustainability, and long-term value.
Transform a Solid Structure Into a Space That Truly Works
Many Canberra homes are well built and structurally sound, yet no longer meet the needs of modern living.
Simple upgrades, like a floor plan reconfiguration, structural wall removal, energy efficiency improvements, window upgrades, or adding an extra bathroom, can dramatically improve comfort, flow, and functionality.
Renovating your home makes it better suited to your lifestyle and daily routines, while also increasing the value of your home and extending the life of the space you already love.

Testimonials
Oliver Billington has just undertaken a bathroom renovation for me and I am delighted with the result. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding and surpassed my expectations... Oliver managed my expectations with regular updates. I trusted his judgement to make decisions that needed to be made on the fly and knew I'd be consulted when needed. I can't recommend him highly enough!
Matilda Emberson
Billington's modified my garage doors and other maintenance work around the house. They answered my call promptly, came out the next day, gave a quote and started within a week. Said all the work (I kept adding on things) would be completed in four days and it was - and on budget. Most impressed and would highly recommend them.
Rae Bradford
We engaged Billington Design Construction to renovate our bathroom to rectify some poor earlier workmanship. We couldn’t be happier with Oliver and team’s work, professionalism and customer service. We will be engaging BDC further to re-floor and reconstruct our outdoor deck and entertainment area. No hesitation in providing a 5-star review.
