What should I do first to organise my renovation project?
See our Getting Started section for a summary of issues you should consider. In general, research your project beforehand. Once you’ve decided on your budget, then consider the design stage (if appropriate). For a project likely to exceed $75,000, you may need the help of an accredited architect. For projects under $75,000 you may find it more economical to use a draughtsman who can assist with drawings for Council and other requirements.
