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
