Value by Design is a method to maximise value to your property or livability, through strategic design choices.
You may be an avid renovator or doing this for the first time, the workshop is to help guide and prepare you for
a renovation or build. Especially, in the ever changing climate of mortgage stress and build cost uncertainty, it
may seem confusing and overwhelming to embark on a reno or build project, but you don’t need to do it alone.
Engaging consultants to review your project individually can be confusing and costly, we have created a way to
provide specialist and individual advice in a group setting.
We are here to provide you with the resources and professional industry insights to give you the clarity and
confidence to make better decisions.
If you are concerned about budget blowouts, finding reliable trades, finishes selections, refining floor plan layout and wanting to add real market value to your home, you’ve found us, we are your people.
We will give you tried and tested professional insight you can’t get anywhere else. No matter if your project is
big or small, the anxiety to know what to do, and if you’re doing the right thing in the right way is the same.
Leave the stress to us, we will show you a step by step process on how to begin critical planning of your project,
i.e do you need council approval or can you go through private certification? Is my renovation going to add
market value? Are my design choices appropriate for the market? Getting the answers to these questions now,
will empower you to build like a boss – not an apprentice. It doesn’t need to be scary and overwhelming when
you have two of the most experienced professional leaders guiding you in a fun, educational and informative,
safe space, along side other like minded individuals.
Don’t leave these questions unanswered.
Let’s work together to provide you with the confidence to follow
through your project until the end!

Why?
Why do you NEED us - Why should you PAY us - Why should you give up your TIME to work with us - Why us - Why are we RIGHT for you?

designer, an architected, a landscaper, a valuer for suite of services at this particular point in time.
• The process of planning approval is not clear or explained in an easy to understand manner,
we speak your language and can explain complicated industry jargon.
• You are time poor. We get it your, busy, life is busy and you need to use your time efficiently and the
thought of starting the renovation/ build project just seems WAY too overwhelming.
• If you have ever asked yourself, “Is what I’m doing going to add market value or not” or “should I
either add an extra bedroom or bathroom and will that add value?”
• Understand that the money you are spending on your build is not going to be overcapitalising.
• Your floor plan is giving you anxiety, because you have 437 variations of the same layout and
your not sure which one to go with.

thinking.
