BUILDING CONSULTANTS.
Australians spent over $48 billion on home improvements in 2025 — making it the busiest renovation year in the past decade, with more than 60% of renovators spending significantly more than planned, usually due to under-budgeting for labour, permits or structural repairs.
What to scope, what to spend, who to trust , all have consequences that last for years. The Project Advisory sits alongside you through the process — not as a builder, not as an architect, but as an independent advisor with no stake in which way you decide to go.
We work with owner-occupiers renovating a home they plan to live in, investors improving a property for rental or resale, and buyers considering a property with renovation potential who want a clear picture of what it will take before they commit. The stakes are different for everyone — but the need is the same. Someone who has done this before, who will look at your specific situation and tell you the truth about what it is going to take.
“THE BEST DECISIONS ARE MADE BEFORE YOU NEED TO MAKE THEM.”
1.
CONSULT
SESSION.
A single, focused session built around one goal — yours.
Whether you are trying to understand a layout, plan a renovation, work out where to start or simply need to be pointed in the right direction, this session gives you a builder's honest perspective on your specific situation.
We arrive prepared. You complete a short questionnaire beforehand so we can make the most of the time together. From there it is a direct, practical conversation — no padding, no generic advice. Just clear direction on your next step, whether that is engaging a tradesperson, briefing an architect or locking in a scope.
$1,200 + gst · In person or video call.

END TO END CONSULT.
This is an end-to-end preparation package. Full scope from layouts through to procurement - so you or your builder have everything needed from day one.We work through the full design direction, lock in the scope and ensure every decision is made before work begins. From there we can stay involved throughout the renovation — sitting between you and the builder, reviewing progress, and making sure the project stays on track.
Incomplete information at the start of a project is the single biggest cause of budget blowouts and builder disputes. When the scope is clear and someone independent is across the detail, the build runs cleaner, faster and with far fewer surprises.
