I would like to endorse the work that Peter and his team did to transform our out-of-date ensuite to a modern, functional and beautiful bathroom. (See photos above)
I enjoyed working with them as they listened, gave appropriate advise, and made sure that my ideas could be incorporated into the overall plan. They were experienced and thorough in their workmanship.
I have recommended them to my friends and I would use FIX IT again.

How to spend just the right amount on your renovationsHow do you know how much to spend on your renovation to avoid over-capitalising or, something many people don't think about, under-capitalising? Over-capitalising occurs when you've spent more than is really justified by the value and style of your home, and won't get the kind of return that you would have for a lesser investment. However, that's not going to reduce the value of your home. On the other hand, under-capitalising - putting in a new kitchen or bathroom, for example, which looks cheap and is not in keeping with the rest of the house - can seriously undermine your home's value. As a general rule of thumb:

What our clients say...
Just to let you know that we are really pleased with the bathroom renovation that you have just completed.
It turned out better than we expected, and we definitely benefited from your advice on the fixtures, and from your efficient logistical coordination of all the different craftsmen involved.
We hope to use you and your team again on our next renovation project.
Regards, Chris Wheatley, Nelson, Sept 2010

We would gladly recommend Peter's team to anyone who expects and excellent outcome to their renovations.

Dare to dream - build new or renovate...
We do everything from makeovers/renovations to the building of new homes. We know what the most important rooms in the home are, and how to add value and improve the liveability of the home.
We offer a makeover service that's second to none. We can look at your existing house plans and assist you with ideas for your new home design, including everything from the concept to all building trades and full project management. Because so many tradespeople are required to complete a renovation on your home - builders, plumbers, electricians, tilers, painters and sometimes more - it is critical that they are carefully coordinated.
When looking to renovate we not only focus on design but we work with you to maximise the energy efficiency to both provide a cosy environment as well as lower on-going power costs. We also look closely at the layout to achieve a result that provides a whole-of-life solution.

The 7 sins of bathroom renovating
When you've been in the building business as long as Peter Billings has, you get called in to remedy other people's bathroom botch-ups on a regular basis.
Bathrooms are botched more often than any other room the house. The problem is water. You can't have a bathroom without it, but can be a source of massive damage, especially if leaks go undetected for a time.
The main causes of botched bathrooms are an unwillingness to spend the time and money it takes to construct a bathroom properly, and poor quality workmanship.
Here are our 7 sins of bathroom renovating:
- Inadequate waterproofing - what you can't see makes all the difference
- Slippery floors - one of the main causes of injuries in the home
- Inadequate lighting (and little or no natural light)
- Poor maths - space is tight in bathrooms and getting measurements right is vital, especially when it comes to tiles, shower trays, gaps between surfaces, and door clearances
- Inadequate ventilation - despite building code requirements on this, it's often not enough
- Not enough thought given to design, colour and style - bathrooms are the most used room in the home, so there's no excuse for them to be boring
- Not using professionals - DIY just doesn't cut it in the highly specialised world of bathrooms
