12 Steps to a Successful Renovation.

The know-how a 25-year architect wishes every homeowner had β€” before they spend a dollar on site.

Meet Rob

You've finally got an architect in your corner.

I'm an architect and the founder of Elements of Home, a Melbourne residential practice. For 25 years I've sat at homeowners' kitchen tables β€” helping them work out what's actually worth doing, and catching the expensive mistakes before they happen.

I kept hearing the same thing: "we know we need to do something… we just don't know what yet." People anxious about wasting money, about hiring the wrong person, about becoming another bad statistic.

So I took the exact thinking, advice and process I use every day, and laid it out in order β€” Reno Rehab β€” so you understand the journey before you engage anyone.

Because projects rarely derail because of a bad builder or design later on. They derail early β€” when no one's told you the process, the risks, or the right questions to ask. Take your time, get the early decisions right, and the rest gets a lot easier.
