Chloe's Dream Home Renovation

Chloe had purchased a charming older home in West Wollongong with great bones but an outdated layout that didn't suit her modern lifestyle. She had a clear vision of creating an open-plan living space with a seamless connection to the backyard, but wasn't sure if her ideas were feasible within her budget.

With multiple design concepts in mind and quotes from various builders that varied significantly, Chloe needed expert guidance to determine the best path forward and ensure she was making informed decisions about her dream home renovation.

We started with a comprehensive feasibility review, assessing Chloe's property and her renovation goals. Our team evaluated the structural possibilities, council requirements, and budget implications of her various design concepts, providing clear recommendations on what would deliver the best value.

Following the feasibility assessment, we conducted a detailed Smartbuild Review of the builder quotes she had received. We identified inconsistencies in scope, highlighted areas where costs could be optimised, and helped Chloe understand exactly what she was getting for her investment.

Armed with our expert analysis, Chloe was able to confidently select a builder and finalise a design that maximised her available space while staying within budget. The renovation transformed her home into the bright, open-plan sanctuary she had envisioned.

By understanding the feasibility of her options upfront and having clarity on builder quotes, Chloe avoided costly design changes mid-project and achieved a result that exceeded her expectations. Her West Wollongong home is now the perfect blend of character and contemporary living.
