Skip months of guesswork and walk into your renovation already knowing what’s possible, what it will cost and how your new space will look. The prize includes an expert on-site consultation with MCG founder Tanya McGeehan and MCG’s partner architect, two concept layout options and floor plans, a high-level QS cost estimate, and a CGI kitchen design and layout. Everything you need to turn your renovation vision into a carefully considered, expertly planned project.
A lot of renovations go wrong long before the first wall comes down — usually because nobody has told the homeowner what’s actually possible, what their budget can deliver, or what it will look like. The Renovation Starter Package gives you a clear, costed starting point, built around your home and your budget.
Know exactly what’s possible.
Tanya and the MCG architect will walk your site in person, measure up, and tell you clearly what you can and can’t do — so you’re not guessing, and you’re not finding out the hard way once plans have been submitted and work has started.
See it before you commit.
A concept design with suggested room layouts, so you can picture the finished space and catch any planning issues before you submit plans, not halfway through a build.
Know what it will really cost.
A quantity surveyor’s cost estimate, so “how much will this cost me?” finally has a real answer instead of a guess you can’t plan around, or a beautiful architect’s plan you can’t afford.
Fall in love with your new kitchen.
A full kitchen design with CGIs, so you can see your own colours, worktops and layout — before anything’s been ordered.
