People are spending more money than ever on home renovations, aiming to improve their current home to make it last longer, or to appeal to prospective buyers. A lot of the time, renovations cost more than planned because mistakes are made during the reconstruction. For homeowners planning to do some type of home renovations on the Gold Coast, Michael Duncan Constructions can help you to get the most out of your project without spending a fortune on errors.

NOT LEAVING ENOUGH USABLE SPACE

When you are planning to redesign your home, it can be tempting to include as many fixtures and fittings as possible. You think that this will make potential buyers more interested in your home, but you could be making the area of not giving yourself or future homeowners enough space to live.


Putting in too much can mean that there is hardly any space to move around, making the home seem small and uncomfortable.

CHOOSING UNLICENSED CONTRACTORS

Rather than working with experienced contractors like Michael Duncan Constructions, you are making the error of choosing cheaper, unregulated contractors. Not only is this illegal in Gold Coast, but it could mean that you don't obtain the necessary certificates to show that the work has been done to current requirements.


You may have to rip out all of the work has been done in order to have it replaced by other tradies.

POOR PLANNING

Another example of not getting the advice of experienced contractors, poor planning can mean that you end up with your wooden panelling installed before necessary electrical work has been done.
