Modern View Constructions designs, builds and installs complete kitchen renovations in Kiama, Jamberoo, Gerringong and surrounding suburbs. We build the cabinetry in-house and manage the whole job, from the first measure-up to handover.
Modern View Constructions is a locally owned Illawarra builder servicing Kiama and the surrounding villages. We design, build and install complete kitchen renovations, build the cabinets in-house and coordinate the licensed plumbers and electricians.
Kiama is one of the more heritage-rich towns in the Illawarra, known for its sandstone buildings and a strong concentration of weatherboard and sandstone cottages, many dating from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Renovating a kitchen here often means working with the character of the home rather than against it: respecting the original proportions, high ceilings and timber detail while bringing the kitchen up to a modern standard.
Kiama is also a coastal sea-change and holiday destination, so plenty of kitchen projects are in weekenders and second homes. That changes the planning: access, timing and keeping you informed matter as much as the finishes.
Good to know: we focus on full kitchen renovations. We're not the right fit for one-off repairs or small odd jobs.
In sandstone and weatherboard cottages, the aim is a kitchen that feels like it belongs. We talk through cabinetry style, benchtops and finishes that suit the age and look of your home.
Older Kiama kitchens are often compact, with the room tucked at the back of the house. Careful design makes better use of the space, and we can talk through options for opening it up.
Kiama sits right on the coast. Hardware, tapware and finishes need to cope with salt air, so we choose products that suit coastal conditions.
If you are not living in the house during the job, clear communication matters. We keep you updated through the renovation, so you know where things are at without having to be there.
In cottages with high ceilings and timber detail, joinery with a shaker or similar traditional profile sits comfortably with the rest of the house, while still giving you modern storage.
Where the footprint is small, full-height cabinetry, deep drawers and careful appliance placement get more out of every square metre.
Durable benchtops and easy-clean finishes suit a house that is used in bursts, and are easier to look after if it is sometimes let out.
Most kitchen renovations in our area cost between $20,000 and $60,000. The table shows what each level usually includes.
| Level | Typical cost | What you usually get |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen refresh | $10,000 – $20,000 | New doors, benchtop, tapware and paint, same layout |
| Mid-range renovation | $25,000 – $45,000 | New cabinets, stone benchtop, new appliances, splashback and lighting |
| High-end renovation | $50,000 – $80,000+ | Custom joinery, premium appliances, layout changes, butler's pantry |

We recently had the pleasure of working with Modern View Construction on a major renovation project, and we couldn't be happier with the results. They knocked down half of our house, replaced the old laundry and bathroom, and then extended our home by adding two beautiful new bedrooms. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless. Jimmy, the lead builder, is an absolute legend. He was not only highly knowledgeable and skilled but also incredibly easy to talk to. He kept us informed every step of the way, ensuring we always knew what was happening and what to expect next. Jimmy's professionalism is unmatched. He had all the necessary insurances, which gave us peace of mind throughout the project. His dedication to quality and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the build. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and the new spaces have exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend Modern View Construction to anyone considering a renovation or new build. They are a fantastic team, and we are thrilled with the outcome of our project. Thank you, Jimmy and the crew, for making our vision a reality!![]()
