We have been renovating bathrooms for over 15 years, and we know the ins and outs of council requirements (and how much red tape and paperwork they involve!) Generally speaking, No, you do not need a consent to renovate your current bathroom, meaning you can start anytime without needing to wait for council consent approval! As long as we are not increasing the amount of sanitary fixtures (toilets, showers, baths, vanities) in your bathroom then we are generally in the clear. Head to the contact us page and lock in your Discovery Meeting, and we will put together a plan to create a bathroom that doesn't require consent, saving you money!

A provisional sum is a reasonable estimate for works where the full scope is not yet known. An example could be framing in an old property where no original plans are available and assumptions have to be made on framing spacing/setout. A reasonable estimate is provided and once the work is completed, if there is a difference, whether credit or increase, the sum is adjusted to reflect the actual cost by way of variation.

A Prime Cost or PC Sum is an allowance for a specific item that has not been chosen at the time of pricing. An example is tiles - because it is very rare for the exact type and brand of tile to be chosen when pricing the project, a cost is allowed based on the average market rate for the size and type of tile discussed, and once the exact tile has been chosen and ordered, the price is updated (if necessary)

Whilst the option is there to supply your own trades, this almost always ends up costing you more, common reasons for this are - - Management, if you are managing the trades and any delays are caused by mismanagement, Extension of Time costs will incurred and charged for. - If we are managing your trades, a higher management fee is charged as they are not part of our systems meaning a lot more manual communication is required. - Additional cleaning, our trades are aware of the requirements for working on our sites and as such maintain great housekeeping, mos other trades who are just there to charge the hours do not uphold our standards and as such our team end up cleaning up after them, meaning labour hours.

How long is a piece of string? Bathroom renovations can cost as little as $20k and go well above $50k depending on size, finish, fittings and additional extras. We specialize in creating bespoke bathroom spaces, so our projects are always priced individually and as a one off cost. If you are looking for a detailed and broken down cost for your bathroom renovation, head to the contact us page and send us a message. We can provide you with a complete fixed price quotation for your bathroom that you can either accept or use to price check against other companies. All of our pricing is complete with highly detailed cost categories so you know what you are receiving.

Again, this question is completely unique to each individual project. Generally speaking, with minor changes to plumbing and electrical, tiled walls and floors and no window changes, a bathroom will take between 2.5-4 weeks to complete. We always offer options to work around our clients requirements, so if you are in need of a much quicker deadline, contact us and we will always endeavour to provide a solution that works for you.
