Beautifully finished homes, respectfully refreshed for modern living.
Welcome
We are Rowan and Sarah, the husband and wife team behind R&S Projects. Rowan is an experienced builder (25 years on the tools and counting) reimagining Queensland’s character-filled homes for modern living. To us, modern doesn’t mean bland, it means blending the past’s intricate attention to detail and architectural gems with spaces that suit an easygoing, more communal way of living.
From restoring ornate cornices and installing breezeways to revitalising timeless hardwood floors to their former glory, we appreciate the details of Brisbane’s classic architecture and it’s a joy to make it whole again.
We’ve restored and renovated five of our own projects too (with small children in tow, a bucket to wash dishes and a digger out front), always honouring character details and turning tired, ineffectual layouts into functional spaces that hero old-school charm.
While sometimes life would be easier to exclusively work on new builds, working with clients to breathe new life into old homes brings us so much joy, and it’s a hard feeling to pass up.
We work with a handpicked team of trusted tradies. It’s important to us that you know who we are, and we’ve done our job right when clients ask questions without hesitation and work with us for years to come.
If you’ve invested in your dream location and are ready to create your forever home, we’d love to work with you.
Rowan and Sarah.
OUR PROCESS
Everything starts with an idea. Let’s bring yours to life.
-
Rowan will chat through your ideas and plans. If you’re working on structural changes you’ll need architectural and engineering plans for an accurate quote. For smaller renovations within an existing structure, we can devise a functional plan together. After an initial phone call and chat about the scope of your project, Rowan will arrange a site visit with you to understand your needs completely.
-
We’ll put together a formal quote for your approval. We develop bespoke solutions that work for you and your quote is tailored to reflect that. Once everything’s signed off and approved by you, we’ll get straight to work.
-
We manage the end-to-end project management of your build, with our trusted, team. You’ll see the same faces regularly and you’ll know us personally during the build process, Rowan will be your main contact onsite and Sarah will be available over the phone for any questions you may have.
HIGHLY Professional and a pleasure to work with.
“Rowan and his team were highly professional, consistently punctual, and a pleasure to work with. Throughout the project, we had complete oversight of the timelines, and Rowan provided us with clear communication every step of the way.”
