Stage 1 · Inspect
Roof, structure, services, moisture.
How we work, in detail
Four stages of a renovation, costed before anything is committed.
Program 01 · Before anything is committed
Assessment & costing
Every renovation that overruns did so because the budget was set from a walkthrough. We inspect properly, cost the scope with trades rather than from a spreadsheet, and carry a contingency that reflects the age of the building rather than a flat ten per cent applied out of habit.
Stage 2 · Scope
What must be done against what could be.
Stage 3 · Cost
Priced with trades, not estimated.
Stage 4 · Decide
Including walking away.
Stage 1 · What needs a permit
Established before work starts.
Stage 2 · Licensed trades
Electrical, plumbing, roofing.
Stage 3 · Inspections
Scheduled and attended.
Stage 4 · Sign-off
Closed out, not left open.
Program 02 · Pulled, not skipped
Permits & licensed trades
Unpermitted work is the cheapest decision available during a renovation and the most expensive one at resale, when it surfaces in a title search or an inspection. Permits are pulled where required, inspections attended, and the work signed off so it transfers cleanly.
Program 03 · Systems before surfaces
Renovation
Money goes into the roof, the panel, the plumbing and the air handler before anything that photographs well. A renovation that leads with kitchens and leaves a twenty-year-old roof has spent its budget on the part a surveyor will not care about.
Stage 1 · Make it dry
Roof, flashing, drainage.
Stage 2 · Make it safe
Electrical, gas, structure.
Stage 3 · Make it work
Plumbing, air conditioning.
Stage 4 · Then finishes
Durable, and in keeping.
Stage 1 · Collected
As the work happens, not after.
Stage 2 · Permits closed
Checked, not assumed.
Stage 3 · Warranties
Registered in the property's name.
Stage 4 · Handed over
Complete, at sale.
Program 04 · Paperwork that transfers
Documentation & handover
A renovated property is worth more when the evidence exists: what was done, by whom, under which permit, with which warranty. Assembling it as the work happens costs nothing; reconstructing it two years later during a sale is often impossible.
