Your renovations can and should take less time than it takes to raise a child! Especially, if you find the right contractor. Keep in mind though - Rome wasn’t built in a day and your reno won’t be completed in one either…..

You’re excited and want to get moving towards that magazine worthy result ASAP. Great! but let’s back up the truck for a moment….

Let’s talk about a little thing called - PLANNING

Put your hand up if you have an incomplete DIY project that you started, last month, last year, last decade?

Come on, be honest….you’ve got one right?!

So many people have heard of or lived through a renovation horror story due to their contractors. Things like, not showing up when promised, abandoning their project for weeks at a time, leaving damage and debris at the conclusion of the job, poor workmanship, poor communication, and quoting low to get the job only to then lump on huge amounts of extra costs at the end of the job to make up the difference. 

Has anyone you know had an experience like this?

Who should you get to do the work?

At this stage, you have determined who you would like to hire based on your initial conversations, due diligence and the proposals you’ve reviewed.

Okay so now what? What are the next steps?
