The Benefit of Independent Renovation Advice

Undertaking a renovation is a major financial commitment and it is vital that you receive some independent and professional advice to have your project properly planned, costed and legally documented.

Architects are often asked to comment on projects with poor design, sub-standard quality of work, or if a dispute has broken out over costs or standards of materials being used.

One of the main difficulties is the lack of appropriate contractual agreement and signed off documentation between the owner and the builder or sub contractor. In some cases homeowners have spent tens of thousands of dollars on designs that do not add value to the home or are inappropriate. In many of these cases people have taken advice from a company or individual who had a financial interest in a system or product, creating extra work leading to unbudgeted cost blowouts.
