- Quality of finishes — budget, mid-range and premium materials vary widely in price.
- Labour and location — tradespeople in Mackay charge different day rates.
- Structural changes — moving walls, plumbing or electrics adds significantly to the cost.
- How much you keep — retaining the existing layout and sound fittings saves the most.
