About MLS Projects

Licensed, insured and building across Cairns since 2021.

MLS Projects is a locally owned Cairns building company. We take on renovations, extensions, new builds, outdoor structures and commercial fit-outs, each one shaped around how the client lives or works and built for Far North Queensland conditions.

We work with you from the first concept to handover and manage every stage in between: planning, approvals, construction and finishing. Materials come from suppliers we trust, the trades are people we have worked with for years, and a small job gets the same attention to detail as a large one.

How it works

From first call to handover

  1. 1

    Call or send photos

    Matt comes out, measures up and talks through what will and won't work on your block. No sales visit, no pressure.

  2. 2

    A written, itemised quote

    Fixed where it can be fixed, with allowances called out where it can't. You see what you are paying for.

  3. 3

    Design, build and handover

    Where the job needs drawings, engineering or approval, we handle it. Then our crew builds it to schedule, cleans up and hands over.

Cairns sits in windRegion C

Built for wind region C.

Cairns sits in cyclone country. Every patio, carport, pergola and deck roof we build gets the footings, posts and tie-downs wind region C calls for, from the ground to the roof sheet. For patios, carports and pergolas, design, engineering and building certification are included, from concept to approved plans.

  • Footings and tie-downs sized for region C
  • Cyclone-rated roofing, brackets and fixings
  • Engineering and certification included for patios, carports and pergolas
  • QBCC licence covers sheds, carports and garages

Questions people ask us

Do you take on small jobs?
Yes. A rotten verandah post, a new gate, a re-deck or a bathroom refresh are normal work for us. If a job is not the right fit, we will tell you who to call instead.
Which areas do you cover?
All of Cairns and the northern beaches, south to Gordonvale and north to Port Douglas. Further afield by arrangement. See the full list on the contact page.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. MLS Projects FNQ Pty Ltd holds QBCC licence 15549375, covering building work and the trade classes of carpentry, joinery, sheds, carports and garages, roof and wall cladding, fascias and gutters, structural landscaping and hard floor coverings. We carry $20 million public liability insurance and are members of Master Builders Queensland. Licensed plumbers, electricians and waterproofers work alongside us and their certificates come with the job. Where a job needs drawings, engineering or certification, we take care of it.
