Overview
Our team at Allen Brothers Construction is progressing through three major projects across Brisbane — each at a different stage of construction and each showcasing the engineering, craftsmanship and architectural detail that define our work. Below is the latest update across Project 134 (Corinda), Project 135 (Grange) and Project 136 (Bulimba), summarising recent milestones and upcoming works.
Project 134 — House Raise and Build-Under, Corinda
Project 134 is about a week from handover. Cabinetry, tiling and burnished concrete slabs are complete, and the pool is finished and fully fenced. The team is completing final touch-ups and a builder’s clean, and we’re thrilled that the owners will soon be moving in.

This project continues to demonstrate the precision required for raise‑and‑build‑under transformations in Brisbane’s riverside suburbs.
Project 135 — Custom New Build, Grange
Project 135 has come through its major external works. The roof is complete, all of the James Hardie Linea cladding is installed, most of the external painting is done and the scaffold has been dismantled. Inside, the interior linings are nearly finished, and the exposed aggregate driveway is complete.

Cabinetry
This project reflects the demand for premium custom homes in Grange, Wilston, Alderley and Newmarket — suburbs known for elevated blocks, character streetscapes and design‑led renovations.
The home now moves into its fit-out stage, with the builder, building designer and interior designer’s selections shaping the final look.
Project 136 — Raise & Build‑Under, Bulimba
Project 136 has moved from excavation into its main structure. Large sections of block retaining wall are built, the main structural concrete slab and foundations are complete, and waterproofing and backfilling are done. Internal blockwork is now shaping the curved entry and future entry stairs, and wall framing is nearly complete

Our goal is to have the scaffold down before Christmas. Brisbane’s recent wet weather is making that harder, but the team keeps working between the showers.
Bulimba continues to be a high‑demand suburb for raise‑and‑build‑under projects due to its character homes, riverside positioning and premium lifestyle appeal.
All three projects sit in Brisbane’s established suburbs, where sloping sites, flood overlays and character streets shape how a home is raised, extended or rebuilt. Corinda, Grange and Bulimba each show a different answer: a raise and build-under, a custom new build, and a raise with a rear extension.
