4. You can opt to do the renovation by yourself, or an expert can help you save time and money by avoiding unexpected problems that you could be confronted with.

Interview potential architects or interior designers to see if their style fits in with what you want. You should also get samples of your desired paint swatches and tiles, so you can see how they work together in different lighting around your house.

5. It is important to use the right builder for the job.

Remember that all owner-builders need to obtain a permit. Any works that will be carried out worth over $12,000 in some states require completion of a course or a certificate of consent is needed, all of which are extra expenses. Ask your friends or work mates if they could recommend a builder they have dealt with. Take a look at the quality of previous jobs they have completed. Once you have narrowed down the list, pick your favourite. Here are a couple builders we recommend:
transilvaniaconstructions.com.au
cornerstonehomebuilders.com.au

6. Once the designs and plans have all been approved, it is time to begin!

Once your renovation is under way you should follow the progress closely to avoid any irreparable problems. You should keep in touch with the builder regularly to make sure everything is going to plan and that any issues are sorted out promptly.

7. One final tip is to have fun with it, there is no need to stress; renovating should be fun!

You are already one step closer to creating your comfortable dream home. Best of luck!
