Renovations and Extensions - Improvements to your Home or Property

Perhaps you have a good location, but your house doesn't quite match your needs? Renovating your house is a process, that if followed correctly, should be a positive and rewarding experience resulting in significant cost savings due to reduced project length and well managed expenditure.

Renovating is a very good option. However, the mere thought of it may be enough to make you "turn and run", but it doesn't have to be that way. What may be difficult for you is easy for us.

Before you start your renovation, or even part-way through, your Pravda Projects Manager is your central point of contact, liaising with all third parties, driving the overall project schedule, managing the budget, on your behalf. 

A renovation process typically involves:

Defining the renovation scope

The skill required to bring a property "back to life" (or to give it a new one) is often underestimated. Pravda Projects will guide you from the outset to form an initial scope of your renovation works so as not to over or under capitalise.

Design concepts and preliminary budget costings

At the start there are many things to consider—much time can be wasted deciding where to start. Pravda Projects will guide you on where to focus, get you started, or start the process for you.

Discussions with architects / builders

We can provide reputable and capable designers, architects and builders best suited to your needs, your property, your budget and your style. Once discussions commence, your project manager is your advocate, and your central point of contact.

Refining renovation ideas

Pravda Projects can help you bring together the good ideas that emerge during this phase. Pravda Projects can guide you and involve specialised consultants in refining the design to meet council guidelines.

Refining the renovation budget

Many items are often overlooked or assumed to be included in the builders budget, which inevitably leads to expense that you had not planned, which leads to anxiety and stress.

Pravda Projects will help you develop:

• a detailed and realistic budget
• council submissions and consultation with neighbours
• navigating a submission through the approval process can be confusing, frustrating and very time consuming
• Pravda Projects will guide you through this process, and engage the appropriate specialists as required
• quotes and tender analysis

The cheapest quote may be incomplete or include products of inferior quality. We help you compare "apples with apples" and contract negotiations. Surprises often emerge from lack of understanding. Pravda Projects can help you to: 

• understand the detail of what has been agreed to
• development of Project Timetable
• good planning enables a project to run smoothly
• Pravda Projects can help you to minimise the disruption of your life during the works
• builders & trades management.

Issues arise on site that require immediate decisions or can cause delays. Pravda Projects will help you understand these issues and enable you to keep the project running smoothly.

Quality assurance

By having a regular presence on site Pravda Projects can ensure that you get the best for your money.

Budget control

Savings in some areas can be returned or may allow for extras in other areas. By assisting-with/managing the budget, Pravda Projects enables you to more accurately forecast your total project spend.

Project completion

The last 5% of a project typically requires 20% of the effort. Pravda Projects can assist you to tie-up the loose ends so you can start enjoying your renovated or new home.
