Renovation Rescue

Renovation gone off track? First, find out where it stands.

For renovations with delays, unexplained extras or a contractor who has gone quiet. We start with a clear assessment of the situation.

Does this sound familiar?

  • Deadlines keep slipping and nobody explains why.
  • Extras appear that weren’t in the quote.
  • You’re asked for another payment without knowing what’s been done.
  • Your contractor takes days to reply — or has stopped replying.
  • You’re no longer sure what was agreed.

Who it’s for

  • Your renovation is delayed and nobody explains why.
  • Extras keep appearing that weren’t in the quote.
  • Your contractor has stopped answering or turning up.

When to call

  • When deadlines start slipping without explanation.
  • Before making another payment without knowing what’s been done.
  • When you’ve lost track of what was agreed.

What you get

  • Review of contract, quote and schedule
  • One documented site visit, done by us
  • Situation and risk report, sent via WhatsApp and saved in a Google Drive folder
  • Conversation to explain the findings

What a situation report looks like

Suggested next step
