My story

Why I Started one69 Renovations

After more than a decade working in construction project management, I kept seeing the same thing: homeowners being taken advantage of by builders, paying too much, getting poor quality work and having no one in their corner.

I started one69 Renovations because I believe every homeowner deserves the same level of professional oversight that large developers get — someone who knows the industry, understands contracts and can spot problems before they become expensive mistakes.

My approach is simple: I work exclusively for you. No builder kickbacks, no referral fees, no conflicts of interest. Just honest, independent advice and professional management of your renovation from start to finish.

How I protect you

Six principles that guide every renovation I manage.

Independent advice

I have no financial relationships with builders or suppliers. My advice is always in your best interest — not mine.

Budget control

I develop detailed cost plans and track every dollar throughout your renovation. No surprises, no blowouts.

Quality assurance

Regular site inspections and defect checks ensure every trade meets Australian standards before payment is released.

Builder coordination

I manage all builders and trades on your behalf — scheduling, briefing, supervising and holding them accountable.

Transparent communication

Weekly progress reports, clear documentation and direct access to me throughout your renovation.

Protecting homeowners

I've seen every trick in the book. I protect you from overcharging, defective work and contract traps that cost homeowners thousands.
