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!

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE EXTENT OF YOUR PROJECT
We look closely at how a renovation or even a new build project can easily become larger than originally expected. We show you how to look beyond the obvious and investigate areas that could potentially blow out.

Read below 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!
