Hi James, suggest its high time for you to source around for ID or contractor now as this will take quite some time to decide. Instead of asking around for pictures, most ID and Contractor are able to provide you with that and you can consult them on your requirement. They'll normally base on your requirement and prepare quote you so that you are prepare for the Reno budget. Just bear in mind that you are not obligated till you are comfortable. I suggest you list out full list of what you want first irregardless of your budget so that they are able to give you a full picture of the real quote. If they blow your budget, start deleting what is least priority. Necessity is priority in most renovation. Some carpentry work can build later when you have the budget but leave provision for the area. Between, a 5 rm flat can cause between a budget of 20K to 50K depending on what you want. Important that your timing for renovation is in red zone (peak period)to most renovator esp this year. Hence, your early sourcing and decision is most helpful. You may expect a up tune of 5 to 10% during the peak period when you fall into the peak period, that's why early booking is important. Another important point is that be firm on your decision as most renovator will charge extra after renovation work start and when you need to alter this and that. You practically can't blame them as extra work and material could have involve once the work started.
