Dreaming of renovating? After a few years of spending quite a bit of time at home, many Australian homeowners have added renovating to their to-do list. The ABS recently reported that Aussie renovators spent a breathtaking $12.3 billion on home renovations in 2021 – a 33 per cent increase on the previous year. It’s not surprising, as our homes are working pretty hard these days, but the reality of bringing those newly created mood boards to life can be quite challenging. Here’s where to start.

Ask yourself ‘why?’

The cost of renovating

Is it achievable?

Seek the right approvals

Build your team

Lock in your budget

Settle your timeline

Organise your living arrangements

Tip: It’s also a good idea to let your neighbours know about any planned renovations. Having happy neighbours is good for everyone!
