Renovate-and-stay

29% of approvals are alterations and additions, so the work here is improving homes, not replacing them, your customer is a settled owner-occupier.

Rebuild market

30% of approvals are new builds or demolitions, so knock-down-rebuild is a genuine slice here, not just extensions.

Big-ticket jobs

the typical $105k approval is about 13% of the $780k median home, these are substantial transformations, not cosmetic touch-ups.
