Renovation Consulting

This renovation consultancy is for people planning a renovation or already mid-reno who want clarity before making costly decisions. Renovations rarely go wrong because of one big mistake — they unravel through small, rushed choices made under pressure. I provide independent, experienced judgement to help you slow down at the right moments, sanity-check budgets and quotes, sequence works properly, and avoid unnecessary upgrades before money is locked in. This isn’t coaching or project management. It’s clear, practical decision support so you stay in control and move forward with confidence.

It works through structured calls and decision reviews during the planning phase or while your renovation is underway. You bring the real decisions — quotes, layouts, sequencing, upgrades, timing — and we work through them together before anything is locked in. You stay in control of the project and all final decisions, but you don’t have to make them alone. The focus is on slowing down the right moments, asking the right questions, and making sure each step makes sense before money is committed.

FAQ

Who is this for?
This is for people planning a renovation or already mid-reno who want clarity before making costly decisions. It’s especially helpful for first-time renovators, investors, and homeowners who want a second opinion before locking things in.

Is this coaching or project management?
No. This is independent renovation consultancy. I don’t manage trades or run your project. I provide experienced judgement and decision support so you can make better calls at the right time.

What kinds of decisions can you help with?
Quotes, budgets, sequencing, layouts, upgrade decisions, timing, and knowing when something isn’t necessary. If it affects cost, value, or direction, it’s likely something I can help you think through.

How does it actually work?
We work through structured calls during planning or while your renovation is underway. You bring the real decisions you’re facing, and we talk them through before anything is locked in. You stay in control of all final decisions.

Do I need to be mid-renovation to use this?
No. Many people use this before they start to make sure their plan, budget, and scope make sense. Others come in mid-reno when things feel rushed or unclear.

Can you recommend or manage trades for me?
No. I don’t hire, manage, or negotiate with trades. My role is advisory only, so you get unbiased advice without any conflict of interest.

Is this available Australia-wide?
Yes. All support is done remotely via calls, which works well for reviewing decisions, quotes, and plans regardless of location.

How many people do you work with at once?
A small number at a time. This ensures each client gets thoughtful, focused support rather than rushed answers.

What if this isn’t the right fit?
If I don’t believe I can add real value to your situation, I’ll tell you upfront. This only works when it genuinely makes sense for both sides.

How long does the consultancy last?
Support is provided over an agreed period or set of calls, depending on where you’re at in your renovation. Some clients only need help early on, while others work with me through several decision-heavy stages.

Often between 6-12 weeks.
