##### Notes

* ^3 Although Kimmy & Rhi were the highest scoring team in the previous week, they do not participate in the renovation of their own home, therefore the allocation of team zones was given to the second-highest scoring team.

### Grand Final

* Episode 28 to 30
* Airdate — 2 to 7 June
* Description — The four remaining teams will, for the first time in history, be renovating for charity. They have now been given only four days to construct a Nano-Homes freight house with no demolition required for a man named Lionel who has lost his home due to circumstances beyond his control. The winner at the end will be determined by points and will receive a grand prize of $100,000.
** previous winner's advantage: Kimmy & Rhi — allocating their own zone
