Don’t think twice. I loved this course. I learnt things that I did not expect to need to know. It certainly saved us a whole lot of time when it came to the build part. We were super organised and could answer any questions the Builder had for us instantly. I highly recommend anyone who is thinking of renovating to do the course!

Course module breakdown

Module 1

GETTING STARTED - THE KEY CONSIDERATIONS

DEFINE YOUR 'WHY'

Why are you renovating or building a new home?

Understanding your “why” is the first step to shaping your project. Are you updating for aesthetics, expanding for a growing family, or investing to increase property value? Clearly outlining your goals will keep your project focused and on track.

Module 2

YOUR BUILDING BUDGET

Discover if your budget is realistic and potentially worth stretching in order to achieve your desired outcome.

Learn about what other costs/fees to factor into your budget as construction isn't the only component here. And learn the secret to formulating an accurate budget.

Let's chat with our guest expert a Builder with 20 + years experience about building budgets and get some real building budget advise.

PULLING A DESIGN BRIEF TOGETHER

A well-crafted design brief is your secret weapon for turning your vision into reality.

In this module, you'll learn exactly what a design brief is, why it’s essential before meeting with builders, and how to create one with confidence. Our step-by-step guide and easy-to-use template will help you put together a clear, concise brief that streamlines the process.

When it’s time to talk construction, your builder will love that you’ve done the groundwork—saving you time, stress, and money during the build phase!

See what others have said about working with M + L Design

Amazing professional and knowledgeable service. Helen and Karyn could not do enough to support and help us in the planning and design of our house upgrade which was a pretty large renovation. They helped us to understand the best layouts and worked seamlessly with the builder and suppliers. Using them made our dream home renovation a DREAM project. We would recommend them to anyone. Thank you sooooo much ladies!!

Colum & Sinead Kelly

I've had the privilege of working alongside Karyn & Helen from McRae & Lynch Design now on various projects and their knowledge goes beyond that of colour and design. As drafts women they have been a fantastic resource to my business both in a drafting and design capacity resulting in fantastic outcomes for my clients. They tackle everything in such a creative, professional and tireless manner I would highly recommend their services and I do!
