Our involvement with the extension and revitalisation of an inner city multi-residential boutique guest house has been one of the most rewarding commercial projects that we have done. The new three storey extension to the existing property included 15 bedrooms, two large living bedrooms with bathrooms, share bathroom and two communal kitchens. There was a bridge connecting the existing to new area, which created a great outdoor social area on the top floor and seamless transition between buildings on the middle level. On the ground floor we built a new gym area and laundry room, as well as two separate private living quarters with their own ensuite and kitchenette. The original building with its 14 bedrooms was also renovated.
Price: $1,350,000.00
“Our challenge was to renovate and extend the building whilst keeping the tenants so I had an income stream. A book could be written on this renovation, access restrictions, difficult neighbours, body corps, fire regulations and continual red tape with council. The written word cannot describe the stress and challenges we faced but Ryan was there till the end, always a cool head, positive and never giving up. Today it is a beautiful 29 room guest house in the heart of New Farm with close to 100% occupancy.”

RJM Builders was founded in 2011 by Managing Director Ryan McMahon, who set out to create a building company that would forever change and set the new standard for builders to come.
All too often Ryan had heard of clients and builders leaving on bad terms, or heard that the client was unhappy with the experience and never wanted to build again. Ryan knew something had to change and so he created RJM builders to be at the forefront of that change, with a company that provides clients with an immersive building experience tailored to their individuality, goals, needs, and building expectations, whilst always being accompanied by a dedicated builder to guide them along their journey.
Ryan has over 25 years’ experience in the building and construction industry. He started his career as an apprentice carpenter renovating and building homes, and then moved to Site Foreman roles and Site Management positions in the realms of commercial retail, hospitality, office and medical projects for top-tier construction companies.
Collectively RJM Builder’s on-site and office team have over 100 years of construction experience from renovations, high-end new builds, Insurance works, commercial builds and fit-outs. We believe strongly in sharing this knowledge with all RJM team members, new and current, as well as subsidising their training in construction certificates to continually improve their skills and understanding of construction processes. This ensures the team of people at RJM Builders all possess high-end skills, knowledge and a shared vision for the important work we do.
