Browse Forums Old Home Restoration / Renovation 1 Jul 24, 2019 8:05 am Hi Folks, I’m hoping someone can help me as we’re considering buying a property in Brisbane as our family home, but before doing so we want to ensure the renovations we are planning are plausible and within budget. Essentially these are the things we’d like to investigate before committing to buy: - building and pest inspection - asbestos presence and cost of removal - complete renovation of kitchen - introduction of elevated decking area, connecting to the new kitchen - introduction of BIRs in all bedrooms - complete bathroom renovation x2 (if budget permits) Additionally, we’d like to see if it’s possible to introduce some sustainable design principles along the way. Where would we start with this sort of exercise and who would we get in to inspect before we buy the house? I really feel quite lost! Many thanks for your assistance!
