Finding a quality builder is one of the most important tasks of your home renovation journey yet it’s often given nowhere near enough consideration.
In this course I guide you through how to find a quality builder, as well as everything else you need to do to get onto site, including getting a competitive market price, co-ordinating Construction Approval and signing a Construction Contract.
This stage is often overlooked because focusing on design and choosing fittings and finishes is more fun. But if you don’t find the right builder and get the right price, your designs will never eventuate as you have dreamed. Many go into this pre-construction stage with their fingers crossed that everything comes out well because they lack the professional advice and support they need. In this course I take away the stress of the unknown and give you the tools and professional know-how to make the right decisions.
Whatever your project size or situation, whatever you are planning, I will show you how to find the right builder, get the best price and be confident you are on the right track when you start construction.
