Perth's western and coastal suburbs cover a wide range of architectural styles from riverfront estates to heritage character homes to newer coastal builds each with different renovation challenges.

The Single-Contract Model

Managing separate independent contractors across a multi-room renovation is a common cause of budget blowouts, delays, and disputes over who's responsible when something goes wrong. Elite Makeovers manages 3D design, trades, permits, and supply chains under one company and one fixed invoice:

• One itemised, fixed-price contract covering all licensed trades, materials, and project management

• One point of contact coordinating every stage, from 3D concept design through to final site clean

• In-house cabinetmakers, tilers, electricians, and plumbers working as one team, so tolerances stay consistent across plumbing penetrations, tile grids, and joinery
  

  

Waterproofing Standard

Wet-area failures in Australian homes are overwhelmingly linked to substandard waterproofing:

• Mechanically prepared, cleaned, and primed subfloors (concrete slab or timber)

• Class III high-flexibility polyurethane membrane, engineered to absorb building movement without tearing

• Reinforced bond-breaker tape and fabric mesh at junction points, wall-to-floor transitions, and hobless shower recesses

• Curing verification and quality inspection before tiling begins

This exceeds the minimum requirement of AS 3740 (Waterproofing of Domestic Wet Areas).

Typical Investment

Bathroom renovations start from $38,000+; kitchen renovations from $50,000+, varying with structural scope and finish selections. A fixed-price, itemised quote follows an in-home assessment and 3D design phase — so there's price certainty before work begins.

Common Questions

What does a single-contract renovation include? 3D design, all licensed trades, materials, and project management under one fixed-price contract and one invoice, rather than separate arrangements with each tradesperson.

Why does trade coordination matter in a multi-room renovation?When trades are engaged separately, no single party is accountable if something doesn't align. A single-contract model puts one company in charge of resolving that.

What waterproofing standard is used? Class III flexible polyurethane membrane with reinforced junction banding, exceeding the AS 3740 minimum for domestic wet areas.
