BEFORE THE FIRST QUOTE

A little clarity
goes a long way.

Start with your brief
  1. 01

    Define what needs to change.

    Write down your priorities, your limits and the decisions you have not made yet.

  2. 02

    Understand your site.

    Check the current controls and ask which property-specific issues need investigation.

  3. 03

    Build a suitable team.

    Use direct links to explore providers, then independently check the people you appoint.

GO TO THE SOURCE

Start with current
official information.

Planning is property-specific. Use these official resources alongside advice for your project.

Build a useful renovation shortlist

Independent guidance from Northern Beaches Renovation Guide. These planning notes are our own editorial information, not advice supplied or endorsed by the businesses listed above.

Start with your project brief

Summarise the property, intended changes, priorities, timing and budget assumptions. Different projects need different professionals; do not assume the first builder or designer contacted can cover every part of the work.

Compare the same scope

Ask each specialist to identify deliverables, exclusions, dependencies, decision points and who coordinates other consultants. Compare written proposals against the same brief rather than headline price alone.

Check before appointing

Verify the credentials, insurance and approvals relevant to the actual work with the appropriate official sources. Confirm site constraints, responsibilities, payment stages and variation arrangements before signing.
