A MASSIVE shout out to Craft Decor for not just helping on a little "love" project, but for putting so much love into their help with it too.

I've used them on every project I've done (including my own home), for 13 years now. If you are in need of tiles, make sure you go and see them. They're knowledge and tile quality are perfect but the effort and love they put into helping you... is beyond.

Thanks again ladies xx

With market changes, there's usually renovation changes!

Yes, we're still seeing a demand for extensions however, "old school" is definitely making a come back.

See, with value in the existing home, many people are upgrading their suburb OR, staying and simply upgrading their existing home.

At the moment, there's a huge demand for "old school" Reno's... painting, flooring, blinds, bathrooms, laundry and kitchen renovations. Honestly, these renovations, done on homes with good bones, is where the investment in your renovation really works.

Depending on the property, year of purchase, lending amount, location and future plans, other methods can still prove to be large investments. That said, it's not needed on this market and TBH, the old school Reno's make a huge visual impact with a much smaller outlay.

So, if you're thinking of upgrading your home or even your investment property, let's get at it! The success of our renovations is in the planning and that is the part that takes the time and that most people underestimate.

People that are part of the solution are to be cherished!

In all the years of doing renovations, I can tell you that one thing is for sure... something is bound to go left! Of course, the aim of the game is to remain steady and find the solution to get the show back up on the road.

That said, when you have a team around you that go out of their way to help be part of the solution, magic happens. Today a lovely delivery driver from F&P named Steve, doubled back across Perth to make a delivery possible because he cares and because he gets it.

He didn't have to! In fact, he had already delivered the rangehood but had not received the instructions on delivery and so had left. If you don't know... this typically means oh well and good luck to you! But no! He made the effort to get the info, create extra time in his day and drive back through the city to make sure I didn't have to push trades back and go and collect it myself from the hills. For this, I am extremely grateful and decided to create a post to remind us that good, no, GREAT people really do exist and when you find them... let them know and cherish them.

It's people like this that make our jobs/lives and the world, that little bit more special. So, next time you have an opportunity to be GREAT, GO BE GREAT! Or, if the next time someone grants you some of their greatness... BE GRATEFUL!

It always starts and ends with us, let's all bring a little extra greatness into our days and share that with others. Imagine the world we could create and share xx♥️♥️xx

This rock star at south St, O'Connor's Bunnings, absolutely saved me today... a massive thank you to Jamila ♥️♥️xx
What seemed straightforward enough, turned into a 4 store mission with another in Mandurah on the weekend. From Bibra Lake to Bayswater... "out of stock"... "none available locally"... "that's special order!"
This legend took a call from me at the end of the road of Bunnings and sprung into action like a ninja. Sourced every missing item, loaded what she had and all with a smile and grace.
It's people like this who can make a Reno mission and your day awesomeness.
I really do think all the Bunnings team are wonderful but when you find a star like this... it's always good to help them shine for all to know.
If you know this awesome woman, tag her so she can feel the love she gives daily. Xx

Loving your location but not the lack of space?

Why not go up or go out!

Extension time perhaps?

We're now open for the next wave of extensions for commencement in August 2023. If you have been thinking about it, let's talk about it.

P.S, These types of Reno's need a lot more in the planning phase. This means the earlier you start, the longer you'll have to spend time tweaking and adding.

DON'T RUN AWAY FROM WHAT YOU WANT ❤️❤️

What a crazy two years it's been... Seriously... WOW!

For those of you who have been tracking with us from the start, you would remember the frequent blogs here. Most of them were educational and always designed to deliver value. You're in for one tonight 🤣🤣🤷‍♀️.

That was about 9/10 years ago when I created the first version of a reno page and platform. Even before the business had it's name, I was showcasing our work and educating people! Can you believe it!

The last 2 years however have been a shocker. Honestly though, I think that would be true for every business owner and most people.

One minute we're gearing up for the new year, the next... we're in full lock down.

Then we course correct to virtual quotes, only to miss out a regrouping over Christmas because... the government decides to provide grants. Yay for the people but oh my goodness for the construction industry and their teams and families.

2021 has been insane trying to keep up with our clients needs and the way of the world (deliveries/trade supply and availability/stock from the eastern states/suppliers and their availability), you name it... it's been bananas 🍌🤣!

But you know what?

We're still standing, although tired.. not going to deny that.

We've made it work and we've done it as a team.

We've also created some of our best work to date during it all and the projects still being created, are shaping up be just as good.

No, we haven't been able to service everyone. That was hard to acknowledge but... in order to deliver quality, sometimes the quantity needs to be reduced.

For those of you who are ex clients or used our services, you know that a lot of time is given just to get an accurate quote to you.

Not a lazy... it'll be about price.

Not a general... in the ball park of price.

Nope...

There's meet and greets.

There's architectural and structural drawings created and/or studied.

There's free design and product guidance.

There's a direct line to call for questions or worries.

There's even a full team, trades to site...

All before we ask for any payment or, commitment.

Why?

Because it's the best way to deliver the best results!

FOR OUR CLIENTS.

Yes... it is time-consuming and labour intensive but It's part of the PRP experience. Job accepted or not!

Tonight though, as I realise that our website is down... (behind the scenes extra work that's part of it all🤦‍♀️), as I'm searching the business name to see where the site is, I see a review!

It's a review on this page actually... there for you all to see!

A review not recommending us. Noice!!!🤷‍♀️

Why?

"After an initial great first meeting, they forgot all about us!" Very close to that, but go ahead and read it for yourself if you like... they left it for you after all!!

Ok...

People be people first up, it is what it is!

But really?

I happen to remember these clients... I usually do because I personally service our clients.

They came in from a street sign. They watched as we did our extension and created what we did.

I did go out...

Helped with design, floor plan, ideas and even products.

They had been let down by a previous builder apparently years before so I felt called to help.

Sick kid and all... we did pull the team on site to quote.

BUT...

Got swamped with current clients and projects.

They were told we were under the pump too so it's not like we disappeared.

We did go all the way to the trades to site, so it's not like we enjoy wasting our time either just quietly!

But nonetheless, they were lost in the year that has been. That's on me FYI.

Question though...

Did they call? NO!

Did they email? NO!

BUT...

They left me and all of you, their review.

So here's the message I leave for them and for you all...

Businesses are run by human beings, just like you and me.

If you're not happy with a business, use your phone to call or text if you want an urgent response... lucky our clients have that!! Or, you can email and admin will get back to you!

Personally, I think twice before taking to a business' socials to say what a call, text or email could allow me to say.

But... if you are someone who plays like this, better we know now than later right!

A public shaming deserves a public explanation.

And to the person who decided to use this space for their preferred method of communication... I really do hope you get a beautiful extension. I really did love your home, meeting the family and doing all the work I and the team did for you.

My apologies for not being able to provide you with a quote, that really isn't good enough despite the roller-coaster that has been. I saw your feedback and I hope you receive my response. Good luck with your project ###

Even when the world is upside down, there's always an opportunity to smile and have some fun. ❤❤

If you're in Perth, you would know the property and construction world has gone a little cray cray.

To be honest, whilst it's great to be able to work and to do what we love, the rapid demand on the industries has definitely caused substantial stress.

It's not been the fun and games that pre covid, we would usually have had. Essentially, it's been quite the s**t fight at times.

Getting supplies from overseas and even just from over east!

Getting schedules to work and people where we need them, when we need them... They too are being slammed in their own businesses.

Keeping people happy as things unfold... clients are stressed too! Living in amongst the mess/trying to get furniture in storage or into the country/living in rentals or Air bnb's/managing redundancies or increased work loads in their industries.

Add to that the nature of renovations/extensions being a variable in and of themselves!🙈

But you know what...?

Why we do, what we do, hasn't changed!

In fact, with the way things are right now, more than ever, the purpose the team at PRP has, is so important.

I built this business to BE the change.

To HELP people with their individual projects (hence the name).

To CARE about the clients, the team, and the reason behind every job we take on.

To do our very BEST.

And when you remember why you do, what you do, you will remember to smile and to stay strong.

We can't control what we can't control. BUT we can remember to roll with it.

We can remember to have fun.

We can remember to be kind.

We can remember a little love and understanding goes a very long way.

We can remember that we're fortunate.

We can remember...

Life is too short to live stressed and reactive.

If you're in this industry, let this be your reminder to remember to play once in a while.

Who you are behind your business will be the change in your business.

A MASSIVE shout out to my team and clients for pulling together and remembering what's really important. Thank you guys ❤❤xx

Ps... If you're a woman in business looking for support during these times, jump on into For the WOMAN behind the business. ###❤❤
