Understanding the Costs of Your Home Renovation

We take a different approach to renovations by focusing on transparency and clarity in the budgeting process, ensuring you understand all potential costs before diving into your project.

If you’re thinking about renovating your home, one of the first questions that probably pops into your head is, “How much is it going to cost?” We know this can be a bit overwhelming, but we’re here to help.

The Preliminary Build Process: What’s Included?

Before we start swinging hammers, there’s an important phase called the preliminary build process. When you’re planning a renovation, you’ll need to consider architectural fees, engineering fees, council fees, surveying expenses, and planning fees.

These preliminary costs can add up fast, often hitting tens of thousands of dollars before we even start building. That’s why it’s crucial to factor them into your budget from the start.

Our recommended approach: concept and price first

To help you avoid unexpected costs, we recommend starting with a concept and getting it priced before diving into detailed plans. This approach is cost-effective and provides a rough idea of the project’s cost early on.

Why We Work Differently

We’re your renovation partners, not just another building company. We help you understand all potential costs upfront, provide ballpark estimates for every aspect of your project, and start with a concept before diving into expensive plans.
