FAQs
general questions
Every renovation has to start somewhere. The first part of the process is simply talking to us about your project. The more information you provide (e. g–floor plans, site photos, inspiration images) the easier it will be for our interior designers to get a better sense of your project. We are always happy to discuss your project via email or phone, or arrange a complimentary site visit.
Not always, however having an understanding of what you want and need, in terms of the design, will help our interior designers give you a good understanding of what to expect in terms of cost and time for the renovation.
We also offer a number of Design & Consultation services which can assist in clarifying the design and associated costs for your renovation project.
Depending upon the scope of works involved in your project may require you to move out during construction.
This will be discussed with you by our Projects team prior to commencement, giving you enough time to make suitable arrangements.
Some projects can allow you to remain in the home if it is safe and logistically possible to do so.
You do not need to be on site during the renovation.
Creative Home Renovations will require access to the renovation property between 7:30am and 5.00pm every day during the renovation. Please advise our office staff of any situation you would like us to be aware of whilst working on your property. For example: Apartment key positioning, Access instructions, Pet arrangements, Delivery requirements, Alternative contact person/phone number etc.
We want to ensure you are looked after in terms of quality, durability and warranty. We have access to a broad range of products and materials from reputable suppliers, and as part of our service, we will work with you to select products and materials that meet your needs and requirements. Our interior designer will also ensure that the selections you make are taking into consideration the overall look and style of your home.
NOTE: If you wish to supply your own products this can be done. However, Creative Home Renovations will not accept responsible for warranty of faulty products or if the items are deemed incomplete or not in appropriate condition to install.
YES. Our renovations include the use of high-quality materials with warranties, required insurances and levies, licensing, and project management to ensure the renovation is performed to the highest standard.
All doors leading to adjacent rooms must be kept closed to prevent the travel of dust. Please note that although we do take as much precaution as possible to keep renovation areas protected, it is impossible to prevent dust from a demolition site. Dust may escape into the atmosphere and fine dust may settle on other items in the house. Please cover any personal items in other rooms that you are particularly concerned about. All due care will be taken to protect all floor coverings throughout the renovation.
