Most flooring websites give you price per square metre and leave you to do the maths. This guide gives you the complete picture — actual all-in costs for whole-house flooring projects across Queensland in 2026.


The Short Answer

2-bed unit (65–75m²): $5,500–$8,500. 3-bed house (90–120m²): $8,000–$14,000. 4-bed house (120–160m²): $11,000–$18,000. 5-bed house (160–220m²): $15,000–$25,000. All figures for mid-tier hybrid SPC (0.5mm wear layer) including preparation, installation, trims. Excludes removal of existing coverings.


What You're Actually Paying For

  • Product supply (mid-tier): $35–$50/m². For 100m² = $3,500–$5,000.

  • Installation labour: $26–$38/m². For 100m² = $2,600–$3,800.

  • Existing floor removal: $8–$18/m² depending on type. Carpet $8–$12/m².

  • Subfloor preparation: $200–$2,000+ depending on condition.


What Makes It Cost More

  • Pre-1980 homes: More levelling, heritage features, complex subfloors — typically 10–20% premium.

  • Multiple levels and stairs: $80–$150 per stair step.

  • Tile removal: $15–$30/m² for ceramic.


What Makes It Cost Less

  • Large floor area (120m²+): Lower per-metre rate on bigger jobs.

  • Simple, flat concrete subfloor: Minimal preparation, faster install.

  • One product throughout: No extra transitions, more efficient.


How to Get an Accurate Quote

The only way to get a truly accurate whole-house quote is a professional measure-and-quote visit. Accurate floor area, subfloor assessment, transition identification and existing floor assessment all require an in-person visit. The quote should be itemised — product, installation, removal and preparation clearly separated.


Supply and install from $59.90/m². Beat any written quote by $1/m².
