Queenslander House Raising Brisbane

Raise, restump and restore Brisbane's classic Queensland homes.


Queenslander homes are iconic throughout Brisbane and South East Queensland.


Their elevated timber construction makes house raising, restumping and structural upgrades an important part of maintaining and improving many of these properties.

Raising an Existing Queenslander

A Queenslander may be raised to:


  • Improve flood resilience
  • Create additional space underneath
  • Replace deteriorated foundations
  • Increase usable floor area
  • Improve the property's functionality
  • Support a renovation or extension

Restumping Queenslander Homes

Older Queenslanders commonly require stump repairs or replacement as the original supports age.


Signs can include uneven floors, movement, sticking doors and visible deterioration beneath the home.

Protecting the Character of Your Home

Raising an older home requires consideration of its existing structure and architectural character.


Our approach focuses on completing the required structural work while respecting the existing building and the requirements of the project.
