Know your limits
Firstly, a caveat. When we say it’s possible to get a fantastic renovation on any budget, we don’t mean cutting corners to save money. You may have watched more than your fair share of ‘Selling Houses Australia’, but does that really qualify you as a renovation expert?
Once you have an idea of what you want to achieve with your reno project, you should be able to easily identify the jobs that are best left to the professionals. Things like electrical, plumbing and structural work are not to be trifled with – leave them to the experts.
That being said, make sure you get at least three quotes for the work you want done, and see if you can find any reviews of each tradie before agreeing to anything. Getting the job done right doesn’t have to cost heaven and earth, but you want it done right.
