3D renderings and design-build
A full 3D rendering of your project that you approve before the first hammer is lifted.
These are average market prices and can be lower or higher depending on your preferences.
Office and retail or restaurant projects are covered on our commercial renovation page. Flooring installation and painting are also available; ask us when you book a consultation.
On every project
See it in 3D before work starts
Ask for a full rendering of your project and approve the design before anything is built.
Your kitchen stays usable
We don’t demolish at contract signing. Your old kitchen stays in place through design and sign-off, then demolition and installation happen back to back. You are without a working kitchen for only 2 days.
Designed to your budget
We work within your budget, as long as it is realistic, and design from your mood board and inspiration photos.
