Experts agree: it’s a good year for renovating. This morning Hilary Harper talked to Archicentre General Manager David Hallett and me, about things that can go wrong with renovations and how prepared you need to be.
“When everything else around us seems to be turning turtle, the renovation market does seem to be on the rise,” Hallett told ABC Radio’s Harper this morning. “The property market’s in strife but with that has been a general downturn in domestic construction. New home starts are down, apartment construction is down and all of those builders and tradespeople - people who’ve been frantically busy over the last several years - are all of a sudden looking for their next job.”
Hallett also went on to say that even if you’ve renovated before, say three, four, five years ago, a lot will have changed. “It’s a moving feast,” he said. Hallett agreed that preparation is the key. I joined Hallett and Harper on the programme and you can listen to my interview here.
