Getting Trent involved in our renovation was hands down the best decision we made. We were completely stuck on how to rework our layout, but Trent came in and quickly figured out the perfect design solution. He took all our ideas on board and transformed them into a plan that not only made sense but maximised the space in ways we hadn’t even considered. His expertise, creativity, and eye for detail made the whole process smooth and exciting. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome, highly recommend Trent to anyone planning a renovation!Posted on Nicole O'HanlonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, offered helpful suggestions, and delivered quality plans that exceeded our expectations. Trent’s knowledge of local building codes and council regulations was a huge asset, and it really helped streamline the process.
