The Home Renovation Process Explained
Initial Consultation and Site Assessment
The first step in your renovation process is an initial consultation, where our team visits your property at a convenient time for you. During this assessment, we discuss your ideas, needs, and expectations while also evaluating the existing conditions of your home. This detailed assessment is invaluable for determining how to best approach your renovation and what solutions will work effectively.
Detailed Project Quoting and Planning
Once we have all the necessary details from our first meeting, we move on to crafting a detailed project quote. This document will include the costs associated with your renovation, realistic timelines, and a breakdown of the work to be undertaken. We remain flexible and open to adjustments until you’re completely satisfied with the plan and pricing.
Quality Assurance During Renovation Work
Quality doesn’t end with the giving of a quote; it continues through the entire renovation process. Our dedicated project supervisor monitors quality throughout the project, ensuring that all work adheres to our high standards. We believe in protecting the areas of your home that aren’t undergoing renovations, cleaning up daily, and keeping you in the loop about progress and changes—all to minimize disruption and maintain your comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Renovations
Understanding Renovation Timelines and Costs
A common concern among homeowners is how long renovations will take and the associated costs. A basic bathroom renovation might start around R80,000, while kitchen renovations can range from R150,000 to R300,000. Extensions typically run R7,000 to R10,000 per square meter. For an accurate and customized estimate, we recommend scheduling an assessment with our team to evaluate your property’s unique requirements.

Some renovations may require building plan approval from local municipalities, especially if structural changes are involved. Our team is well-versed in Durban’s regulations and can guide homeowners through the compliance process, including preparing any necessary documentation. We’ll determine early in the planning stage whether your project requires council submission, alleviating any potential delays later.
Tips for Homeowners During Renovation Projects
For homeowners, navigating renovations can be challenging. We recommend open lines of communication with your renovation team throughout the process.
