A renovation needs appropriate approvals, credentials and a complete budget before work starts.
Check the correct requirements
Electrical, plumbing and building work have different licensing rules. Confirm the credential for each job and review planning, strata and insurance requirements. Do not assume one certificate covers everything.
Avoid unsupported value claims
A tree or renovation cannot be assigned a universal resale uplift, and unapproved work does not carry one standard financial consequence. Assess the actual property and obtain specialist advice. Record contracts, variations and completion documents, and retain a contingency. Cosmetic finishes should not conceal defective or incomplete work.
