Rising Construction Costs? We're Not Worried.

Your Property Profits • January 8, 2026

If you've been following the property or finance news lately, you'll have seen that construction costs are rising once again (it's déjà vu!). According to recent data, costs have jumped in the last quarter, pushing building budgets even higher across Australia.


For many homeowners and investors across Canberra, that's a bit of a worry. Renovations already costing more, and if you're trying to sell forprofit (our speciality), higher construction prices can hurt. But here's the good news: at Your Property Profits, you're protected from these rising costs. Here's why.

We're not a run-of-the-mill builder. We're a fullservice renovation team.

Unlike most DIY renovators or builders in Canberra who quote project-by-project and rely on external trades and suppliers, we do things a little differently. We work with a dedicated team of experienced, local tradies who know their stuff. They're not only reliable and ready to go, but they're also part of our day-to-day operations. We don't battle over bookings, chase subcontractors, or deal with unpredictable labour costs.


This means your project won't be delayed due to a tradie shortage or inflated subcontractor fees. We control the schedule, the quality, and the cost. And you benefit.

We're able to get affordable materials faster.

We always have a high number of projects on the go across Canberra and the ACT (we're popular!), which gives us an advantage when it comes to securing materials. Instead of sourcing per job like most builders, we buy in bulk at locked-in prices.


That means while the national average cost of building materials may be rising, your renovation isn't directly affected by those spikes. Whether it's tiles, tapware or timber, we can deliver consistent value across every project.

We offer finance options to keep things moving

We understand that cash flow might be stopping you getting your property ready for market (you're not alone). That's why we offer financial assistance to eligible clients, so you can get started without the stress of paying for materials or labour upfront. Our team gets to work immediately, and you repay once the property sells, when you're in a far stronger financial position. Makes sense, doesn't it?

It's time to renovate and sell for more

O unique model is designed to shield our clients from the impact of rising construction costs. We're local, efficient, and ready to go. When you renovate with Your Property Profits, you're not just getting a better renovation, you're getting a strategic edge in the competitive Canberra market.
