  Contracted Tony to do a full renovation on my house. Contracted to be completed in 150 days and took well over 500 days to complete and still receiving invoices 12 months after I moved in to the house. Tread warily and do your homework

  Hi Fran, The reason you are receiving invoices is for the additional electrical work etc. and that you ran out of funds twice and we had to wait for you to refinance. Invoices are owed and refusing to pay them. Currently this matter is before NCAT due to non-payment of invoices, for which you agreed that you requested the work to be done and the job has been finished. The reason for the added length to the job is the following: Below is a list of items that were changed and changed again, this all takes time to complete, hence the increase in completion time. After demolition of walls etc. it was found that your house had 3 different floor levels, which took some time to work out and rectify. Changed position constantly during the renovations of different aspects of the build. 1. Changed position of large window in studio to dining room, had to rebuild timber stud walls in the dining room to meet up with the deck, this was last minute. 2. Dining room wall facing neighbour we had prepared for a window, last minute decision they didn’t want a window there at all. Had to rectify this wall, labour hours and material. 3. Studio room had to rebuild wall where large window was to accommodate for a highbay window. 4. Kitchen position changed from original plans on two (2) separate occasions. 5. Final layout of kitchen kept changing different ideas of where the cupboard should end, increased size in Island bench, airfryer, microwave unit drawing on hallway wall to be included in the plan, this was NOT the contract which added to the build time of the kitchen. 6. Bathroom size increased halfway through the build, took longer to complete due to increase in size for waterproofing, tiling etc. increased size of your PC Items. 7. Laundry size changed as you wanted a separate toilet to be included halfway through the build, and requested plumber to add small basin in separate, which was not in the contract. 8. Your partners work nook area, additional timber, electrical and data for this area which was decided on at the last moment. 9. Additional electrical work throughout the build, every time electrician attended there were additional requests to complete more work. Contract allowed 14 LED downlights, you had 34 additional LED downlights, additional powerpoints, spotlights at rear, kitchen pendant lights (not part of the contract). 10. Weather delays experienced. 11. Shortage of materials experienced throughout the renovation 12. Shortage of subcontractor’s availability to attend to complete work required as they were booked out due to the shortage in the building industry. 13. Changed built in wardrobe to a walk-in- robe at the last moment, which took additional time and material to build. From Contract “Supply and fit built-in wardrobe to bedrooms 1, with white melamine parcel shelf and chrome hanging rails only” 14. Additional Variation work for house remove asbestos external cladding, wait time for subcontractor to be able to complete. Waited on Clearance before we could commence work then supply and fit additional cladding, verandah work, tiling on verandah, 15. Change in the back steps size to be mobility friendly, additional time to work out treads and material to build. 16. Change in style of handrails for deck. 17. Due to the numerous variations and type of work requested added to the renovation, build time. 18. Rear deck gate, advised this at the last moment. 19. Requested that the right-hand side of the house at the rear to be made “doggy proof” with timber apron, additional labour hours and material. 20. Lattice to be fitted to left hand side of bottom of house to make animal proof.

  Tony and Inga have been absolutely wonderful to work with. Their dedication in making sure I understand everything I sign up for has been very helpful. They are a family business and they look after families too. I especially appreciate their patience in providing multiple quotes and offering to meet in person to discuss these. I would definitely recommend To y and Inga for any construction work.

  Tony installed and finished our kitchen off very nicely. He coordinated the other trades so we didn't have to and did a great job. Would certainly recommend him.
