Renovations and Extensions - Improvements to your Home / 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 & 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"

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

• Pravda Projects will help you understand these issues and enable you to keep the project running smoothly

Quality Assurance

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
