When deciding to build or renovate, feeling comfortable with your builder is an important part of the process. You not only want to know that your builder has the right qualifications and experience, but you also want reassurance that they care about your project as much as you do. So here are some of the most common questions we get asked, and a little bit about how we got started.
Karl Maxa began in the building trade over 25 years ago as a cabinet maker, but it wasn't until he fell in love with Cairns local Felicity, that he considered a business of his own. Felicity convinced him that moving back to her home region would be the best career decision he could make, and she wasn't wrong.

Services
There's any number of house builders in Cairns that will promise to deliver your new home project on time and on budget, but can they deliver what you want? When you've given careful consideration to how your family home should function, you want a master builder that can take your ideas and create a design that truly meets your family's needs, without charging you a small fortune for variations to the design.
But at Maxa Constructions, we love helping you through the process. We happily share our knowledge and experience to help guide you through each stage of your building project. We talk to you, not just about how you want your home to function today, but also what your plans are for the future. We want to make sure we produce a design that meets your needs and delivers your dream.
The Peak is a contemporary, pavilion styled home with Balinese influences that perfectly suits our tropical climate in Far North Queensland. With five pavilions, linked together by a central breezeway and lush landscaping, you can't help but feel like you're on holiday as you take in the infinity pool and spectacular city views.
For a new build, renovation or extension project to run smoothly, a detailed process and clear communication make all the difference. Built into the Maxa building process is keeping in contact with you, as often (or as little) as you require, using your preferred method. From the outset, we establish communication channels so we can deliver on our promise to keep your project as stress-free as possible.

From the initial meeting with Karl, to design with Steph and Felicity and dealing closely with the builders, our experience with the entire Maxa team was excellent from the start. The outcome to our home renovation was more than we could have dreamed. The team at Maxa went above and beyond to assist every step of the way with professionalism and… patience to ensure we were making the right decisions to create our vision in the highest quality and attention to detail. We will recommend Karl and Felicity time and time again and can’t commend all the team highly enough. Efficient, reliable

Thank you, Karl and Felicity for transforming our dated 80’s home into a modern, easy living home with a ‘Wow’ factor. Our family and friends are also blown away with the transformation. This makeover all happened within a 20 week timeframe, from the time we made initial contact with Maxa to completion and handover. Kay and Phillip Oliver - Edmonton

Unfortunatly never had any work done by these guys. I did ring for a quote on a bathroom renovation and I was told someone would get back to me, which they did. However he was only able to give me an estimate over the phone. I didn't want an estimate as I actually wanted the work done and wanted to know exactly what I would need to pay. He said he would get back to me with availability, however I haven't heard from them since.

I needed someone I could trust and rely on. Maxa Construction were just what I needed for my repairs. They helped me out with the Insurance Company to make sure ALL things were covered and that I was not ripped off. They were easy to work with. I knew what I wanted and they were able to deliver. Thorough and Professional

Wanting to enhance the usability of our backyard by installing a large viewing deck, Karl of Maxa Constructions was recommended to us due to his willingness to take on jobs big and small and more importantly, his ability to successfully undertake jobs on worksites with inherent issues such as access.
Karl and his team of carpenters, engineering consultants and contractors designed and constructed our deck using the composite decking material, ModWood.
Attention to detail was the common factor by all those involved, from initial design, protection of existing structures such as the pool, rock

In 2015 we decided to convert our small carport into an enclosed double garage that also included a training area and storage room. We knew what we wanted and had designs drawn up. While we were looking for a builder to do the work, we heard about Maxa Construction and decided to give them a call. I’m very glad we did.
Karl & Felicity proved to be very professional, helpful and polite. They liaised with us regularly and clearly explained the whole process from the start. The contract was clearly explained and the work done promptly and completed on time. Where relevant they offered sound advice
