25.01.2022 Do you love artificial turf in entertaining areas? Tell us why.

25.01.2022 2020 has been a wild ride for all of us particularly in the QLD construction industry. Today is Australias official R U OK? day where we remind everyone that its important to ask Are you OK?. If you feel like somethings not quite right with someone you know, trust your gut and take the time to ask them Are you OK?. If they answer "No", make time to listen, encourage action, and check-in. That conversation could change, or even save, their life. If any one of our followers is feeling down and needs to chat, please send us a message. Wed love to chat with you. Brenton & Laura, B&L James Constructions #ruok

25.01.2022 Identifying and removing asbestos is an important home renovation task. Inhaling asbestos fibres is very bad for your healthwhich means it must be removed carefully. Pictured here is some damaged asbestos we found at the start of a recent renovation (note: asbestos comes in many other shapes and sizes). As soon as we found this, we called our asbestos removal specialist, Jake at Asbestos Eliminator. If youre renovating an older home, its essential to have it checked by a specialist like Jake. #homerenovations #renovations #bljamesconstructions #builder #brisbanebuilder @ Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

19.01.2022 Natural light will, quite literally, brighten the mood of a room or space. When planning your new home or renovation, make sure your designs are optimised for morning and afternoon sun. Use doors, windows, and skylights to bring in as much natural, warm light as possible. A strong natural light strategy could add significant value to your property. #newhome #homebuilder #construction #brisbanebuilder #construction #bljamesconstructions

19.01.2022 Home Renovation Tip: Not sure which paint colour to choose? Get a sample pot and paint a generously sized ‘test area’ in the room or area you’re not sure about. Make sure you observe your test area during daylight and night-time lighting. Ask family and friends for their opinion too and you’ll quickly get a feel for the suitability of the paint colour. Trust your gut. (Photo credit: @bauwerkcolour) #homeconstruction #newbuild #renovations #bljamesconstructions #builder #brisbanebuilder

19.01.2022 DIY Renovation Tip: If youd like a new bathroom but cant afford a complete makeover, these tips might help Firstly, a coat of paint over tiles will breathe new life into almost any bathroom. Do some research into the right type of treatment, primer, and paint before you start. Secondly, upgrade your tapware and install a new mirror. Your local hardware and bathroom stores often have lots of modern styles on sale. And thirdly, replace your shower screen or curtain (or remove it completely). Were seeing lots of open-style showers being installed in new and renovated properties across Brisbane. #homerenovations #renovations #bljamesconstructions #builder #brisbanebuilder

18.01.2022 Here’s a question for you: If money and land was unlimited, would you build a single storey or a double storey home? Tell us why. #homeconstruction #newbuild #bljamesconstructions #builder #brisbanebuilder

18.01.2022 Heres a DIY renovation tip from Brenton, our Managing Director: If youre planning to DIY renovate your whole home, start with the kitchen, bathroom(s), and living spaces. These areas usually require the most effort when thinking about layout strategy, design finishes, and of course budget. Do a HEAP of research (online, in showrooms, and in magazines) to understand the latest in trends and styles. #renovations #homerenovations #builder #brisbanebuilder #construction #bljamesconstructions

15.01.2022 Heres a DIY home renovation tip from Laura, our co-founder: If your home renovation includes landscaping, aim to plant greenery as early as you possibly can. Many DIY renovators leave landscaping until the last phase of a project yet plants take time to grow, so its a good idea to get them in the ground as soon as you can. The other alternative is purchasing mature age plants which do cost more but the effect can be worth it, especially if you are planning on selling your home after the renovation. #diy #renovations #homerenovations #builder #brisbanebuilder #construction #bljamesconstructions

13.01.2022 As you’ll see on popular television shows like @theblock, waterproofing is an essential requirement for all wet areas in a dwelling. Waterproofing prevents structural damage from moisture, dampness and water leaks, and must be completed to meet Australian Building Code compliance. It’s also required to ensure your builder’s guarantee. Our clients can rest assured knowing that our waterproofing work is completed by an experienced, licensed contractor on every one of our projects. #homeconstruction #newbuild #renovations #bljamesconstructions #builder #brisbanebuilder

What does your D + C service provide? Our D + C service manages *every* part of your renovation or new build (instead of just the construction stage). This means we take care of planning, design, and council approval too and allows us to provide (a) valuable input into your ideas at the early... stage of your project and (b) alternative solutions that may cost less yet still maintain design intent. This helps you create a much better result, with less surprises and less stress. 2. Does the D + C service cost anything extra? Yes, there is a fee for our D + C service, however this is an amount youd usually invest in an architect or draftsman to create your plans. Our D + C service creates your plans and helps you avoid unexpected costs, variations, and hiccups because the builder is engaged right from the start of the design process. This means the entire process is smoother and more enjoyable for you, the client. Its a complete done for you service. 3. How do I get started? Our service begins with a free initial consultation where we listen to your ideas and chat about the possibilities for your renovation or new build. This is not a thinly disguised sales pitch instead, youll get our very best ideas and design strategies for your project. And if we both decide were a fit, we can chat about next steps, too.
