When we began the process of searching for a builder to complete the extensive remodel of our much-loved home in Carlton north, we were not experienced at all in renovations or construction. We knew we loved our architect’s design and we knew that we wanted to have our house forever – and that with three kids growing up, it needed to be robust, high quality and built to last!
From the moment we met with Simon and his team at their walk-through before tendering, we knew we were dealing with someone we could get along with. From speaking with previous clients of Blueprint’s to do our due diligence, we learnt that others had had similar initial experiences and, more importantly, this had translated to fantastic results and relationships.
Renovating a complex terrace house through covid whilst also juggling full time work and three kids could have been stressful, but working with Blueprint really was quite simple. Things which other renovators seem to experience just didn’t happen to us – corners weren’t cut, neighbour relationships (important in inner city) were prioritised, communication was high, workers and sub contractors were people you were happy to have in your home. Most importantly, we got a great result on time and on budget. In short, we couldn’t be happier with our choice, the final product or the experience we had along the way.
