Starting a major renovation is daunting, which is exactly why we manage the entire process for you. We work with architects and draftspeople to conceptualise your vision and lodge your Development Application, then collaborate with you to refine the design for each space. We also partner with highly skilled contractors who provide quotes and execute all the work, so you don't have to juggle multiple parties.

The most important thing is having all key decision-makers present at our first meeting. Come prepared with your budget and timeline in mind—some visual references help, but they're not essential to start. For me, it's about ensuring our values align and we can deliver within your timeframe

Timing depends on your project scope and stage. Most clients engage us 9 months before construction begins to allow for council approvals, builder schedules, and supplier lead times. That said, we've been brought on just 4 weeks before work starts and still delivered on schedule. Every project is unique, and we're ready for whatever challenges arise.

We're happy to work alongside your existing plans. The difference is in the detail—the bespoke joinery, finishes, tap ware, and tiles that infuse your home with personality and style. We ensure every element is considered and cohesive, elevating the design from good to exceptional.

Your home is your biggest asset. Our value isn't just in deliverables—it's in the expertise and peace of mind we provide.

We structure our fees into three phases, which gives you clarity and control:

• Project Initiation & Design Development – Fixed fee. We work with you to understand your vision, explore options, and develop the design direction.

• Design Documentation – Quoted separately once the design is resolved. This is the detailed technical package your builder needs.

• Design Management & Project Oversight – Either engaged on a retainer (predictable monthly cost) or on an hourly basis for turnkey delivery. We're on-site regularly, solving problems daily, managing contractors, and ensuring quality.

For renovation work, this typically totals 8–10% of your overall project costs.

Why we structure it this way: You're not locked into paying for phases you don't need. If you want to pause after design development, you can. If you want us fully embedded through construction, we're there. And you always know what you're paying for.

Ready to discuss your project? Let's talk about your vision and budget.

Design is only half the story—construction is the other. During the build phase, surprises happen. Designs need updating, problems arise daily, and coordinating procurement with the builder's schedule is critical. We hold regular meetings with all trades before, during, and after their work to maintain quality standards and keep you informed. We're also your advocate if issues or grievances emerge.

Absolutely.
