Kitchen Renovations in Wollongong & the Illawarra

What we do

A kitchen built around how you actually cook and live

A good kitchen renovation is more than new cabinets. The layout, storage, benchtops and finishes all have to work together, and the building work behind them has to be right.

Modern View Constructions is a locally owned builder servicing Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama and the wider Illawarra. We take on complete kitchen renovations, from the first conversation about layout through to the final clean and handover.

Kitchen work we take on

  • Complete kitchen renovations
  • New layouts and custom cabinetry
  • Benchtops, splashbacks and tiling
  • Butler's pantries and extra storage
  • Kitchen and laundry renovated together

Good to know: we focus on full kitchen renovations. We're not the right fit for one-off repairs or small odd jobs.

Why Modern View

One builder, from design to handover

Design, build and install

We design your layout, build and fit the kitchen, and look after the project from start to finish. You deal with one team throughout.

Cabinetry built in-house

Because we build the cabinets ourselves, we control the quality, the fit and the finish, and we can make them to suit your space.

Licensed trades, coordinated

Plumbing and electrical must be done by licensed tradespeople. We don't do that work ourselves. We bring in trusted licensed plumbers and electricians and schedule them around the build.

How it works

Our kitchen renovation process

  1. Free consultation

    We visit your home, talk through how you use your kitchen, your budget and what you'd like to change, and take measurements.

  2. Design

    We prepare a layout and help you choose cabinetry, benchtops, splashback and finishes, so you know what you're getting before work starts.

  3. Written quote

    You receive a detailed written quote, so you can see exactly what's included.

  4. Build and install

    We build and fit the cabinetry and carry out the building and carpentry work. Licensed plumbers and electricians are booked in at the right stages.

  5. Quality checks

    We check the work as we go and again at the end, and put right anything that isn't up to standard.

  6. Handover

    We clean up, walk you through your new kitchen and hand it over.

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!

I was impressed with the thoroughness and professionalism by Jimmy and his team. From quote to building, Jimmy was planned, reliable and communicated steps at all phases of our renovation. I appreciated his attention to details, practical suggestions and quick resolutions to any issues during the build to completion. I highly recommend MVC, they were efficient, tidy and above all did quality work. Overall this has been a great experience, our design came to fruition. We are very happy with the result. Thank you Jimmy, Scott, Bennett and everyone involved in transforming our home.
