A great home starts with a great team, a collaborative one between client, designer, and builder.
Are you planning a new home or renovation and don’t know where to start?
Feeling overwhelmed about where to begin, who to speak to and which contractor comes first?
We don’t blame you! This industry has certainly created a disconnect where to start in the process.
We find the best outcome and result comes from a collaborative approach.
So let’s get together, ensure we are the right fit for you and go from there…
Starting with the scope and design. We will discuss your project in detail and provide a concise run down of our process and how we can work together.

Consultative Quoting Packages
We offer a holistic approach to supplement the initial design phase with designers and architects. We believe this collaborative approach provides you with the confidence to move forward with your new build or renovation knowing that the design reflects your needs and wishes and your budget is maintained to see it come to fruition. It is dishearteningly common for completed plans to sit on the shelf with the build never getting out of the ground. Clients find themselves having spent thousands with months or even years ticking by only to be left with “where to from here?”. We have seen firsthand how disappointing and stressful this can be, and we have been part of a situation more than once where we have come in post this to made recommendations so that the design can be reworked or scrapped and redesigned to ensure it aligns with their budget.
Depending on where we come on board we offer:
Early design concept analysis + cost analysis
Ideal for:
New builds
Larger renovations
House raise + build under projects
Depending on the scope of works and level of input required this can involve sitting in on design and site meetings, liaising with designers and other contractors such as Engineers, Certifiers and Town Planners. Included but not limited to:
-
Site review and scope recommendations to brief designer or architect.
-
Early concept stage preliminary cost analysis.
-
Second phase cost analysis which captures further specifications with the design such as finishes and fixtures.
-
Final comprehensive fixed price quote which captures all your design wishes to proceed to build stage.
Generally, this package is suited to larger renovations, house raise and build under projects as well as new builds. Price on application, tailored to your project.
Final design stage quoting
Ideal for:
Smaller scale renovations through to larger projects
This suits those projects that have finalised their plans and ready to move to the tender stage, or will include smaller scale renovations such as bathrooms, kitchen and deck builds.
-
A meeting to discuss the plans in detail capturing level of finishes, specifications, and requirements of the build.
-
Detailed comprehensive fixed price quote which captures all your design wishes to proceed to build stage.
Price starting from $150 for smaller scale renovations such as bathrooms, kitchens, deck extensions and $300 for larger projects. P.O.A
