How does a renovation work?
Start with the home as it is.

1. 01

   Tell us what you want to change

   Talk through which rooms do not work for you, what you want to keep and your budget and timing.

   Know which issues matter most
2. 02

   Visit and check the home

   Measure the rooms and check what is visible. Bring in qualified specialists where structure, electrics, plumbing or waterproofing need closer review.

   Know what still needs checking
3. 03

   Choose the work and materials

   Separate essential items from things that can wait, then discuss the main materials, fixtures and cabinetry.

   See what will be done and used
4. 04

   Check approvals and timing

   Check council, certifier or strata requirements for the property and work, then plan materials and start dates.

   Know what is needed before work starts
5. 05

   Build in the right order

   Arrange demolition, services, finishes and installation around the agreed work. Talk through changes before making them.

   Keep track of work and changes
6. 06

   Check the finished work

   Walk through completed items, equipment and documents, and note anything still to be addressed.

   Know what is complete and what remains

Construction, licensing and approval requirements depend on the property, address and scope of work.
