Two ways to get clear renovation direction

Both begin with the same onsite consultation. The difference is what you take away afterwards.

Renovation Strategy SESSION

$595inc GST

Focused renovation direction

A focused 60–90 minute onsite consultation at your property, before you speak with builders, designers or trades. Best for someone who wants an experienced second opinion, practical ideas and clear priorities before committing to plans, trades or major spending.

Renovation Strategy REPORT

$1,295inc GST

Detailed renovation direction you can refer back to

Best for someone who wants the same onsite consultation plus a written roadmap they can work through after the visit. The report considers how the home works as a whole, rather than each room in isolation, and includes a 30-minute follow-up session.

Which one should I choose?

Choose the Renovation Strategy SESSION if:

  • You want an experienced second opinion before committing
  • You have ideas but are unsure where to begin
  • You need clear priorities, not a written document
  • You are weighing up whether to renovate, sell or leave things as they are

Choose the Renovation Strategy REPORT if:

  • You are planning changes across several rooms
  • You want to renovate in stages without losing the bigger picture
  • You need a clear brief before approaching builders or designers
  • You want recommendations documented to refer back to

Still unsure? Book the session. If you decide you want the full report afterwards, you can upgrade for another $700.

Independent advice comes first

Builders, designers and suppliers each bring valuable expertise to a renovation. Their advice, however, naturally reflects the service they provide. Before You Renovate sits before that process, helping you make informed decisions about the property before plans are drawn, products are selected or quotes are accepted.

Sometimes the smartest move is doing less, but doing it well.

Practical details

Consultations are available throughout the Sunshine Coast standard service area. The listed prices apply to a standard single residential property. Additional travel fees or a tailored quotation may apply for acreage properties, dual dwellings, homes larger than 4 bedrooms or more complex sites.

Make the decisions before the decisions become expensive

A successful renovation begins with a clear understanding of the property, your priorities and what is genuinely worth doing.

Strategy before you spend.
