HIA Building & Renovation Show Thinking about renovating your home? Here is a quick checklist for things to prepare for when renovating. For more tips visit the HIA Home Ideas Centre and speak to the experts!

Renovation

RULES

12

Know what you want What does the work entail? How will it be done and by whom? How will it affect your day-to-day living arrangements? Should you consider moving out? What if you have questions or want to make changes? Set a realistic budget Decide as early as possible how much money you want to spend – this allows you and your builder to focus on the work that is achievable within that budget. Sit down with your lender and discuss the amount you can reasonably afford and the most suitable financing options. Don’t choose a builder on price alone Does the builder understand what’s involved in your project and have the necessary experience? Will the builder offer a warranty on the work? Will the builder still be in business if you need to call back? Visit HIA’s Tradebuild website tradebuild.com.au to find a list of HIA tradespeople in your area. Carefully check out the company Before you enter into any kind of agreement, do some checks on the company. Check with your state licensing body to ensure the company has the necessary licences or registrations and whether anyone has lodged a complaint against the company. Ask a builder a lot of questions when you meet. Talk with their previous customers. Visit past or current projects. The Housing Industry Association has more than 40,000 members who abide by a code of conduct. HIA members can coordinate all aspects of your project – permits, materials, trade contractors, supervision and inspections. Plan for the long term Thinking ahead avoids short-term renovations that may need to be redone in future. Professional builders can conduct a thorough inspection of your home and offer suggestions for the most effective sequencing of work over a period of time. Plan ahead for your finishes Typically, homeowners are responsible for choosing cabinets, flooring, tiles,

|

fixtures and the many other finishes that will complete the job. Set aside plenty of time and begin early – in some markets, there may be a delay for special orders. Visit the HIA Home Ideas Centre, the one-stop-selectionshop for all your product needs and you and your builder will come out totally loaded with inspiration and ideas! Go for quality Don’t jeopardise the quality of your renovation by compromising on the quality of products or materials. If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well, and that means using products that offer the right combination of performance, durability and aesthetics. Take an active role throughout the project You should be prepared to spend time going over drawings, monitoring the progress of your project, and discussing decisions with your builder. A good renovation builder provides regular updates and is easy to get hold of if you have questions or concerns. Consider going green Consider the energy and water use of your home and opportunities to make savings for the environment and your bills. HIA GreenSmart professionals can advise you about options to include in your renovation ranging from the right toilet suite, to the way your home uses energy. Our GreenSmart Professionals can be found at tradebuild.com.au. Visit the HIA Magazine stand for a FREE GreenSmart Home Owner Manual with every magazine purchase. Protect yourself with a HIA contract A written HIA contract spells out the arrangements between you and your builder and describes your renovation in detail. Visit Angela our Stationery Officer located at Reception for all Contract purchases. Finally, a caution – there is no way of completely avoiding the dust, the dirt and the inconvenience that comes from a home renovation. But remember when it’s all said and done, the pleasure of living in your newly renovated home will be worth it, if you take time to think it through and plan it thoroughly!

Warm hearted

HINTS FOR WINTER

If you have bought an existing home or are renting, you may have inherited an inappropriate and expensive heating system. However, as the cooler months approach there are things you can do to reduce your heating costs without sacrificing your personal comfort. But before installing or changing your source of heating this winter, consider taking the time to think about potential cost savings that can be made and make sure you talk to a specialist before purchasing. For what may seem like a good deal today could potentially be costly. Here are some ‘warm hearted’ hints you need to know: Speak with a specialist Make sure you are aware of your requirements. If you are not sure, have a couple of industry experts come out to advise. Get the right size Have your preferred installer determine the size and type of unit you require for all year round comfort. Brand awareness Be sure to choose a reputable company and a system that is robust enough to handle Australian conditions. Efficiency Ask your installer to provide you with the most energy efficient system to meet your needs and average running costs to minimise energy use and save you money.

Choose your power source There are a number of power source options available to heat your home. LPG, Natural Gas, Solar Heating, Electricity and Wood Heating.Take time to discuss the benefits with individual specialists to gain all the information required to make an informed decision regarding which direction you would like to go. Should you choose electricity consideration of the supply is commonly overlooked. Be sure that your home has adequate power supply or you may require a reconfiguration or upgrade in an existing dwelling. Installation team A professional installation team are a must, ask your installer to provide documentation such as a certificate of currency to ensure you and your home are in safe hands. After Sales Service & Warranty A reputable specialist will have a comprehensive service and warranty document, which will provide you with full support after the purchase and installation.

HIA Building & Renovation Show

HIA Building & Renovation Show Households around the country are being actively encouraged to consider the environment when building or renovating a home. By taking into account the following 10 tips you can be assured you will be playing your part in making the planet a better place.

10 Green Smart

COLOUR for your home

 If you’re building a new home, make sure it is positioned to make the most of solar passive design opportunities. If you’re renovating, consider changing rooms around to take passive design into account.

TIPS

 Incorporate shading structures or eaves to minimise the entry of summer sun and allow penetration from winter sun.  Insulate the walls, floors and ceilings of the home with the most suitable material and one that has the highest R-value for the job. Combine this with thermal mass, e.g. bricks, concrete and earth, inside the home.  Seal around external doors and windows and install self-sealing exhaust fans in bathrooms, toilet and laundry areas to limit draughts.  Select window glazing – e.g. single, double or tinted – that achieves optimum glazing conditions for your climate. The correct placement and selection of windows will also help maximise cross ventilation.

The skilful use of colour can create illusions – pale hues reflect light and make small rooms seem larger, while dark colours can make large unwelcoming spaces feel cosier. A light colour on the ceiling – white is probably the best option – makes it seem higher, hallways or passages seem wider. Cool colours such as blue, turquoise and blue greens are most effective in warm rooms that receive a great deal of sun. Warmer colours include the full range of reds shading into pinks,

orange and yellow. These colours also tend to be mentally stimulating and energising, making them best for rooms such as studies where creative work takes place. Follow these suggestions to make a new colour work for you. • Create a feeling of harmony and transition within the home by gradually introducing colour changes. This is especially important in open plan settings, but also looks best when adjoining rooms have a progression of colours rather than violent contrasts. • Bathrooms and kitchens are often at the top of people’s renovation wish list and are usually the most expensive to renovate, but there are now paints that can be used on tiles, whitegoods,

 Zone the house so you have more control on the areas of the home that need to be cooled or heated using doors and walls.

 Select the most energy and water efficient whitegoods and lighting appliances that you can afford.

 Install four-star toilets, water efficient tapware and shower roses.  Consider installing treated wastewater systems or rainwater tanks to help reduce the amount of potable water used in and around the home.  Purchase renewable energy for household use or install photovoltaic systems where your budget allows.

laminate and flooring to revitalise a tired room without breaking the bank. • Allow colours to represent your moods and personality, or those of the people around you. Children will have greater ownership of their space – and possibly take more pride in keeping it tidy – if you allow them to have some input into the choice of colours. There are now so many colours, shades and hues on the market that there is bound to be something just right for you. You major challenge will be finding it in an extensive and sometimes bewildering range. In that case, seek professional advice by visiting a colour consultant from Bristol Paints at the Show or contact an HIA member for the best solution for you.
