Working With Us Is Simple

01.

Consultation

The first step in our design and renovation process is to schedule an initial consultation with the client. During this consultation, we will discuss the client's vision for their living space, their needs, preferences, and budget. This is also an opportunity for us to showcase our portfolio and answer any questions the client may have. This step helps us understand the client's goals, ensuring that we can deliver the desired outcome.

02.

Design

After the consultation, we will proceed to create a design plan that aligns with the client's needs, budget, and style preferences. Our team of skilled designers will work with the client to create a 3D rendering of the design, providing a clear visualization of what the final outcome will look like. We will also provide a detailed project plan, including timelines and budgets, ensuring that the client is aware of every aspect of the project.

03.

Development

Once the client approves the design and project plan, our skilled tradespeople will begin the renovation process. Our team has extensive experience in home renovations and can handle any challenge that may arise during the project. We will keep the client informed at every stage of the process and ensure that all work is completed to the highest standard.

04.

After Care

Our commitment to exceptional service does not end when the renovation is complete. We will provide the client with a thorough walkthrough of the newly renovated space, ensuring that they are happy with the final result. We also provide aftercare and follow-up support, ensuring that any issues that may arise after the project is completed are resolved quickly and efficiently. We believe that our relationship with the client continues long after the renovation is complete, and we are always available to provide ongoing support and advice.

Client reviews

I had put off renovating my home for 10 years, fearing the whole process. Then Gillian was by me side, helping me through the 1001 decisions/options & obstacles. Gillian oversaw the entire reno, even allowing me to take a road trip in the middle of it, knowing my project was under her very capable & caring eye. The result was a fully renovated family home (with a few gorgeous changes suggested by Gillian), a close friendship with the builders, and other tradies, as well as a very happy family. Gillian has style & energy, which is exactly what I needed. Most importantly, Gillian listened to us and ensured the build was kept inline with our goals. Thank you Gillian, for making my dream come true.Read More

With no experience in house renovations, the modern transformation of my childhood home was fast becoming a nightmare. With unreliable builders, a lack of time to project manage and a fast approaching move-in date, we needed help! It was Gillian who came to our rescue. Gillian presented herself as a “renovation coach” … she was all that and so much MORE. Upon meeting Gillian, she made it a priority to bond with our family and understand our collective needs and wants. Her honest approach, expertise and ability to bridge complicated building technicals to our level of understanding made the decision-making process very easy. This included budgeting and prioritising projects, considering alternative and more affordable solutions, to choosing paint colours, bathroom vanities, a modern spiral staircase design and bar wall finishes amongst many things. This level of personalised service continued throughout our entire renovation process. Always incredibly organised and passionate, Gillian scoped out each task with her team of professional and client-focused tradesmen. Additional specialised labour and materials were also competitively sourced by Gillian, where necessary. Gillian’s weekly to-do lists, timely updates, and fastidious project managing were lifesaving in keeping the renovation schedule on track, coordinating all the different parties and organising my tasks. Renovating an old house comes with its many challenges. From new building standards to unforeseen issues that can dishearten even the brave. Having Gillian by our side through the entire process eliminated much of this stress. She is a natural problem solver who does not compromise on quality. She not only accommodated my busy schedule but was always present onsite to resolve such challenges and perform on-going quality control checks. We cannot sing her praises enough. Engaging Gillian was the best decision we ever made!Read More

Gillian was great to work with, with great energy and a can do attitude. Her approach is authentic and practical, all her product recommendations were spot on and she has great relationships with suppliers. She also recommended excellent trades in particular Scott Carmichael genius but modest carpenter / builder. I was very happy with the outcome on my job which involved completely stripping out and remodeling a bathroom and laundry and creating a powder room, and installing new flooring.Read More

This woman is amazing. She has creative ideas, is a problem solver and is totally professional. Gillian's attention to detail is outstanding as is her communication about all aspects of the project. Her tradesmen are terrific and Gillian only works with the best. Over the last few years, I have done 2 projects with Gillian and her team. I would not work with anyone else.Read More

My family and I are so grateful to have Gillian to help us moving from overseas, with limited information of my house and very tight timeline, she nailed it amazingly! We aimed to “survive” in the house for the first couple months, so the direction given to Gillian was to “buy some furnitures” that could function the minimal daily life, however we achieved far beyond, we’ve got pretty lounges, warm and cozy dinning room, a chilled deck to relax, comfy full furnished bedrooms. Our house is a rental and on the day we got the keys, Gillian accompany us to walk through and inspect the house, there was a leakage issue in a bathroom and she helped to push the repairing work done asap, meanwhile she gave us advices on how we managed our daily life while the repairing works were undergone in the house. She is not just a home stylist, she is liked a very closed friend/family member and is caring of all members of my family. She is so kind and nice and we are blessed to know her through Houzz. Gillian is always responding timely, always gives us good advices, even we could only communicate over WhatsApp for a month before our family arrived, she is very productive and honest, and won’t overcharge you. Highly recommend Gillian.Read More
