Stressless Transformations

Transform Your Property Into The Perfect Family Haven – Without The Stress, Delays, Or Hidden Costs​


Dear Established Brisbane Home Owners,

You’ve already been through the property journey twice, maybe even three times. You know quality when you see it. You know what you want – whether that’s premium fixtures, high-end appliances, or that perfect balance of form and function.

But here’s what’s frustrating you right now…

Every builder you’ve spoken to seems to operate the same way. Hidden costs appear halfway through the project. “Unforeseen” expenses like rock excavation suddenly blow your budget. Timeline promises get broken week after week. And you’re left wondering why something that should be straightforward has become so complicated.

About one in every three households across Australia rolled up their sleeves and took on a renovation in 2025 – yet the average new house completion time for Australia increased 50.0% since September 2019, from 2.2 quarters (6 months, 3 weeks) to 3.3 quarters (9 months, 4 weeks) in June 2024.

My name is Michael McVeigh. You deserve better. You deserve a builder who respects your intelligence, your investment, and your time.

Our Expereince

Why 35+ Years of Queensland Building Experience Matters


Michael McVeigh didn’t just wake up one morning, and decide to become a builder! He and Cathy have been developing home extensions and renovations around Queensland, since 1991, and they have built a brand that speaks for itself, with presented value that outweighs any advertisement.

With residential renovation spending now representing 40% of total construction effort across Australia, there is an oversupply of builders who see your intended renovation as just another job, whereas McVeigh Homes see your renovation as your family’s future.

What four decades of building excellence actually means for your project:

Award Winning Design Capability: Our design team doesn’t just draw plans, they build spaces for living, and that improve how you live. Every extension is thoughtfully designed to harness every last drop of natural light, how the spaces flow together, and the unique Queensland indoor/outdoor lifestyle.

QBCC Licensed, and Fully Insured: In an industry that has been plagued with countless headaches caused by the fly-by-night operators, we provide the reassurance that comes from working with legitimate, competent professionals who have credentials and insurance.

35-year HIA Membership: It is rare to have an organisation that is 35 years old, because an organisation can’t be older than the individual builder. You don’t just maintain this level of association with the Housing Industry Association, without providing quality service to clients, and respect to customers.

When you choose McVeigh Homes, you’re not just hiring builders. You’re gaining partners who understand that your home extension is one of the most significant investments you’ll ever make.

Your Options

Every Brisbane Home Extension Project Has Three Possible Outcomes (Only One Ends Well)


Why choosing the wrong approach to home renovations in Brisbane will destroy more than your budget. It could sadly ruin your forever home.


Let’s be honest about your options:

Doing Nothing: Your current home will continue to feel cramped or outdated. Property values in Brisbane continue rising, but your home won’t benefit from that growth if it doesn’t meet modern buyers’ expectations. The perfect time to extend was yesterday—the second-best time is today.

DIY Approach: 35% of DIYers eventually had to hire professionals to fix mistakes, often costing more than hiring professionals initially. Home extensions involve structural, electrical, and plumbing work that requires professional expertise and council approvals. Your family’s safety and your property’s value are worth more than the false economy of DIY.

Cheap Alternatives: The building industry attracts opportunists who quote low, cut corners, and disappear when problems arise. 51% of homeowners report issues with contractors, often resulting from choosing the lowest quote rather than the best value.

McVeigh Homes Approach: Family-owned, locally established, with a track record spanning four decades. Our reputation in the Queensland building community means we’re accountable for every project we undertake.
