4 tips to avoid costly renovation mistakes
With all the choices and decisions, such as materials and finishes, it's no surprise mistakes can be made. So, to avoid ending up with a renovation you regret, think about the following at the start of the planning phase.
With Jim Robinson as our guide, learn how to steer clear of four expensive home renovation mishaps.
1. Get the right fit

This can give you a good idea of their quality of work.
Build a solid base.
You can upload these directly into the interface for you and your tradie to view together.
Make sure you consider not only practical aspects, such as the size and cost, but also how you want to feel in the space. Colour, materials, light and airflow are all important factors to consider. Ensure you have a clear agreement with your tradie that outlines the scope of work, including any contingencies for cost and time. If anything changes, make sure to update all your tradies, so when they send you quotes, they're all based on the same criteria.
