In Australia, the typical home renovation costs range from $88,000 to $145,000, while extensions can run anywhere from $150,000 to $500,000.
Given the substantial investment involved, it’s crucial to make informed decisions about the layout and functionality of your home.
Our renovation course is packed with expertise, real-world experience, and practical templates designed to help you get it right the first time.
Not in Australia? No worries! Our course is crafted to assist you with your renovation needs, no matter where you are located.
If you’re ready to transform your house into the dream home you’ve always wanted but not sure where to begin?
OR Feeling swamped with options and uncertain about how to navigate your renovation journey?
OR you’re struggling to keep your renovation on track and within budget
OR you’re unsure how to set a realistic budget
OR you’re unsure if you should work with a builder or go it along
THEN you already know what you need to do, and that is sign up to do our Renovation School
You’ve made it this far, you’ve realised your home isn’t working for or doesn’t reflect your home and family. The problem is now you don’t know what is the next step or you might have some idea but are so worried about how to ensure it’s affordable.
We don’t all have a designer or builder on speed dial to ask all those little questions swirling through our minds or to explain the process in plain speak fully. If this is you, you’ve come to the right place.
This course was created because I wish I’d known what I do now, and I wish it had existed.
Derek is an electrician and builder who has renovated homes in over four countries. I have redesigned 15 homes, some earmarked for demolition and I know how to design a home that not only functions well but looks beautiful.
Together we come up with creative solutions and think outside of the box, helping others achieve a custom and designer look on a budget. Since we have started sharing our journey we have realised how much more support and information is needed for people wanting to create the home of their dreams without the experience or knowledge of major renovations.
Knowledge is power. We are all capable of learning and doing things to help us achieve a better life. Derek and I want to share this knowledge and know-how with you and save you money and your sanity while we’re at it.

YES! We can always learn new ways of working. Let me ask you, what do you want to achieve in your home renovation and what are you missing.

Yes, this course is design to help you take charge of your renovation.
