This is your opportunity to sit down and talk with a range of industry experts and discuss all facets of re-modelling, extending or renovating your home.

 

Our Expert Dream Team will be making their skills available free of charge on the Ask the Renovation Experts stand in Hall 2 (next to the Seminars) – every day at the Home Show.

 

They will be offering advice, ideas and direction and will be able to answer all your questions to ensure you have a successful renovation from the get go.

 

Consultations will be given on a first-come-first-served basis, so make sure you bring your plans, ideas and questions along with you to get all the right advice from the experts.

Meet the Renovation Dream Team

Shane Drury leads our Ask the Renovation Experts Team and he comes at it with years of experience and a completely fresh approach.

 

Shane consults under the banner of 360PMCC (360 Project Management & Construction Consulting).

 

After identifying a need for a new kind of high-end project management in New Zealand, Shane’s belief was that to achieve a dream renovation in today’s complicated regulatory marketplace, a dream team was required.

 

“My role is, talk the technical and take it to the layman, so that everyone knows what is happening, the implications and the potential costs.

 

“The shortage of skills and contractors is pushing costs through the roof and we’re constantly grappling with that. The best conversation with the client is the first one, where you ask ‘how much are you prepared to spend to complete this project?”

 

 

JOINING SHANE ON THE ‘ASK THE RENOVATION EXPERTS’ STAND ARE:

Jann Hurley – Hurley Architects

Grace Nattrass – Interior Designer, Principal at Trace Elements

Ryan Bickley – LBP and Quantity Surveyor – Principal at 360 Project Management and Construction Consulting.
