Getting your renovation started
If you want to renovate your property for profit or personal use, then engaging the right local tradies is key to success. Always remember to:
- Source tradies from reputable online networks that screen and vet local tradesmen like Tradebusters or Tradebusters Connect
- Always ask for a copy of a tradesperson’s insurances and licence
- For large renovations don’t be afraid to ask a tradesperson if you can see their local projects in your area.
