Awesome job there, just bought a Queenlander in Mackay already raised and upstairs renovated. Just gotta section up the lower level and put a back balcony on. Got some good ideas from the video, thanks.
This is so incredible to see Rachael, thank you so much for explaining it all. House Raising is definitely a Queensland thing. There is soooo much work gone into that beautiful home. Wow a 3.6 ceiling? So glad you put the bulkhead over the window seat, it makes it look so cosy. You really thought of everything.
Thanks for taking the effort to shoot and upload this video. Looking to do a similar project where a building is lifted and lower level is built in place. My imagination convinced me lifting a home 3 meters would be super sketchy and unsafe but after looking at the video it is apparent the cribbing is safe and secure. Even though the video is relatively short it still looks like an exhausting process - great work. The comment on the "buff and prime" and the guys reaction was hilarious. I would have reacted the same because the innuendo and real work conflict in order of operations causing mental stall. We all know you gotta prime before you buff, oh wait - depends on what we are talking about. Classic, better quit stalling and figure out how to accomplish my project. This video definitely gives inspiration. Thanks again for posting!
What a gorgeous house and enjoyable video, I need to renovate at some point think I'll be calling you guys 🙂🙂 (that injury - nail gun??- looks horrible and, omg I just fainted...)
I loved seeing Adam in the OKC Thunder Steven Adams Jersey!! I’m a season ticket holder to Thunder games! We love seeing people from other countries support our team! #Thunderup
I’ve been watching renovation videos on RUclips tonight, and just discovered yours. I’ve always wanted to renovate... Wow! This is gorgeous! Not only renovated, but lifted as well. My head almost exploded! Love that you’re in Brisbane too. I’ve just subscribed and am about to check out your other videos. 💕
It’s amazing transformation. Loved the end result. I bought a property in Mt Gravatt East as well post war and looking for similar inspirations. Can you share Rough estimate for the complete project? Thanks
I recently found your channel and I absolutely love it. I had never heard of raising a house and building under it. I don’t think anyone does it in Melbourne. I would love to do this to my house one day.
Love the lady boss!!! you go girl (from a QLD granny but comment coming up in my son's name)...but in all honesty, wouldn't be nearly so good a video without Benji!!!
Wasn't cheaper or better to say less risky and easier to demolish the old house and rebuild??? I have a very similar old house and want to demolish it and build a new house . Wondering if there was any reason for keeping and rising old house. Looks great
Loveeee this house and video! Gives me such "three birds renovations" vibes! I can't believe you don't have more subscribers, I think if you spoke to the camera more and did more voice overs this channel would skyrocket! You have a great personality for youtube and even better renovation skills x
Love the video, I've done a couple myself and I get the whole retaining and money pit VS payoff in the end with a level yard, it is worth it for sales appeal , Those huge ceiling heights are just wow, . love your work.
Ratter2E ahhhh yep, it’s always v hard weighing up the feasibility of throwing money at things like that! It costs so much 😩😩 but would rather not have any buyer objections where possible! Thanks so much for watching for following along! 😀🙏🏻
Miguel Munoz hey mate, thanks so much for the message. Ummm..... A LOT😬 this one was especially pricey because it was on a sloping block & had huge amounts of retaining/earthworks/steel. If you’ve got a number in your head, I dare say double it! 😬😋
BlueCollarWallets hey there! 👋☺️ thanks for the message! Umm, absolutely nothing! Would be waaaay cheaper to knock down & start again. It’s a pre war home though! Not allowed to knock down 😏 Hope that helps!
I just start looking Queenslander. You guys did great job to covert an old single storey house to morden double storey home. Compare with build a new house, the renovation cost still cheaper? Any other reasons to keep a 100 years old house? I have no experience about renovation, hardly to make decisions to buy an old house then renovate it.
Hello Henry, thnks for watching. No, it is more expensive to renovate per square metre than to build new. However, this home was character protected, so we need to keep it & work with it. Hope that helps. Thanks !
Yes, the design and the final look are beautiful. But I find it *astonishing* how little respect and care is given to the established garden! Grubbing out a beautiful, mature flowering shrub - and probably more than one and other established plants and even trees, too - with a *digger* just shows how little awareness this company quite obviously has for the importance of these plants not just for people, but for all kinds of wildlife. I find it deeply offputting that in renos like these, nobody bats an eyelid at sealing much more ground, destroying beautiful gardens etc just to build yet another deck and or pool. I could appreciate your work much more if you took just a *little* time and care to assess the gardens first, figure out what is there and what can and should be saved. What must be removed should be dug up and relocated if at all possible. If you cannot be bothered to re-home plants yourselves, I am sure neighbours or others will take them off your hands no problem. This is the 21st century, we’re all aware of the importance of green spaces, climate change and even urban wildlife by now - even in Australia. Please do reconsider your attitude/approach to this - you’d earn the admiration of many people.
"Hey uce" 🤣🤣🤣 how good! great transformation guys😍

Amazing! Well done!
M Scott thanks a mill! 😀
hi how much you spend for this entire renovations and lift house
Would it be more cheaper to raise a house or build another level on top?
Anyone know how much this work would've cost? Or what it's most likely to cost here in Brisbane 2023?
10:56
Are the windows aluminium ?
Amazing job. Absolutely beautiful (except that bit with the nail and thumb). Those footballers sure must get paid a lot to kick a ball around.
MademoiselleRose40 Lololol, yeah I know right? 😅😋 thanks so much for the feedback ☺️🙏🏻
I wonder how much the house was sold for and where the location is.
just out of curiosity how much was the entire job?
Wow
Work in Progress thanks heaps!
Amazing. Roughly how much would a renovation like this cost if the building has already been raised?
Miguel Munoz hey mate, thanks so much for the message. Ummm..... A LOT😬 this one was especially pricey because it was on a sloping block & had huge amounts of retaining/earthworks/steel. If you’ve got a number in your head, I dare say double it! 😬😋
Curious Rach, what would you suppose you saved by raising instead of a full demolition / rebuild?
BlueCollarWallets hey there! 👋☺️ thanks for the message! Umm, absolutely nothing! Would be waaaay cheaper to knock down & start again. It’s a pre war home though! Not allowed to knock down 😏
Hope that helps!

Too much cost/risk with red tape unfortunately... Unless you're an insider.

This is like Bloxburg but harder
WhatsGucciYo Gacha 😅😋haha yeah!
Haha, why are house raisers, demolishers and movers always so rough??
Sara C Lolol classic hey?! 😅
