With over 30 years of experience in the Forster Tuncurry region, we’ve had the privilege of
helping countless clients turn their renovation dreams into reality. Many of them still come back
to us or recommend us to others, which speaks to the trust we’ve earned over the decades.
Being part of the community we serve means we see our clients long after their projects are
complete—at the shops, at community events, and around town. This creates a unique sense of
accountability because, in a close-knit area, reputation matters.
We look forward to the day we see you years after your renovation is complete, hearing about
how much you still love your space and how it has enriched your life.
We will organise a suitable time to meet with you on site. In these meetings we require that all decision makers are present so nothing is missed.
Steve or Bob will discuss with you ideas, needs, wants, budget, location and timeframe.
A checklist will be used to make sure we cover everything. We find that this successful approach ensures that your building or renovation experience is as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.
Living in the community where we work means that we have to face our clients in the street for years after the build. This builds a special type of accountability as reputation in a smaller area spreads fast.
We have been doing business here for 28 years and people still come to us so, we are comfortable that we have consistently made dreams come true.
We will love meeting you years after the build and hearing how much we have made your dreams come true!
And we will do it …
We begin with a Start Smart Consultation—an on-site meeting where we explore all your ideas and visions for your renovation or build. Steve, drawing on his years of industry experience, will guide the discussion, oAering insights and suggestions tailored to your needs.
To make the most of this consultation, we request that all decision-makers be present. This ensures nothing is overlooked and everyone is aligned from the start.
Using a comprehensive checklist, we’ll cover essential details such as your goals, budget, location, and timeframe. This thorough approach sets the foundation for a smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable building experience.
Whether you already have plans in hand or need assistance developing them, we’re here to
help. With our extensive experience and industry knowledge, we can guide you every step of the
way.
We collaborate closely with trusted architects and draftsmen to bring your vision to life. From
initial concepts to final plans, we ensure every detail aligns with your goals and lifestyle.
Navigating the Council approval process can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to make it
easier. We work with reliable professionals, including Coastplan and Accuplan, to streamline
submissions and ensure a smooth process from start to finish.
For larger renovations, once your final plans are ready, we’ll work with our experienced Quantity Surveyor to prepare a detailed and transparent building quote.
The quote will clearly outline all inclusions and exclusions, providing you with a complete understanding of the project costs. This level of detail is particularly important for larger projects, helping ensure a smooth and successful renovation process without unexpected surprises.
For smaller renovations, we typically provide a fixed price proposal following the Start Smart Consultation.
We offer both Fixed Price and Cost Plus contract options and are happy to work with whichever
suits you best. During the planning stage, we’ll discuss the benefits of each option to help you
choose the one that aligns with your needs and goals.
Once you’ve accepted your proposal and the final building plans are in place (for larger renovations), it’s time to move to the contract stage.
We use HIA building contracts because they are clear, straightforward, and easy to understand.
Following signing the contract, you’ll also receive a Home Owners Warranty Insurance policy provided by icare HBCF, oAering you a 7-year structural warranty for peace of mind.
At this stage, you’ll likely meet some of our team members who will be working closely with us to bring your dream renovation to life.
With a coordinated start date, now its time for our experienced team to bring your vision to life. Steve leads the project alongside our dedicated Project Coordinator, who helps ensure everything runs smoothly and eAiciently. We also work with a trusted team of suppliers and subcontractors, carefully selected for their quality and reliability.
Communication is a top priority throughout the process. We’ll keep you informed every step of tthe way, providing updates on progress, key milestones, and next steps. You’ll always know what’s happening and who to contact if you have any questions.
Steve oversees all aspects of the project, including budget management, coordinating contractors, sourcing materials, and scheduling inspections by engineers and council.
Now it’s time to sit back, relax, and watch as your dream renovation turns into reality.
