The Renovation Broker

We used the Renovation Broker to design our kitchen, laundry and three bathrooms in a major house renovation. Best decision ever! I had spoken to a couple of kitchen designers already but wasn't really confident their ideas would work for us. However as soon as we had the initial meeting with Brett, I knew we had found the right people to help us. Brian helped us create (rather than force on us) a design that was both creative and practical. Being able to see the designs on screen and in 3D really helped give us confidence the design process. The result is a stunning kitchen that not only wows people but is also a very practical family and entertaining space. Having all the designs and measurements for the kitchens and bathrooms laid out in a book made it so easy when we were making choices and talking to suppliers. Being able to put the jobs out to tender, meant we were able to save money, and cover the cost of the design fees which was a bonus. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking about renovations.

We were looking to update our worn out kitchen. We wanted to engage a kitchen specialist who we could lean on to assist with the design and building process. We met with Brian & Brett Patterson at their design studio and they explained their process to us. We liked the fact that for a fixed cost they could design a kitchen for us and then go to their trusted contractors to provide quotes. Brian visited our house and came up with an innovative solution that had not crossed our minds and as a result were were able to unlock unused floor space and get the kitchen we wanted and still be within our original budget. The contractors they recommended were fantastic to deal with and Brett checked in regularly to see how it was all going and answer any questions we had. Brian and Brett along with the team of contractors are to be commended as we were able to get all the work done whilst in the middle of the COVID Pandemic, with kids home schooling and a parent working from home. I highly recommend The Renovation Broker team.

The Renovation Broker worked with us to create our state of the art Talostone showroom in Waterloo. It give us great pleasure to recommend The Renovation Broker. Nothing was ever to much trouble for them. They have a no problems, only solutions attitude. When renovating things are always coming up where you need to solve unforseeable problems quickly, and you need people like Brett and Brian helping and guiding you to solve these issues. With their years of experience they have the ability to do this. Their technology they use to show you how the design of your kitchen, bathroom, or in our case showroom was incredible. No longer do you have to imagine how anything will look. Their 3D renders as so realistic, and their creative designs and knowledge of how to create a space shines through with all the years of experience they have gained.

We engaged the Renovation Broker to restyle our apartment - converting the isolated kitchen into a spacious open-plan living space, reconfiguring the two bathrooms, and renovating the balcony. The result has been amazing. We had a tiny ensuite before, that has been transformed into a very spacious ensuite bathroom, and with clever use of space, the main bathroom is also spacious and practical. The kitchen/living area and balcony have also been transformed into a far more practical and usable space. I was a little apprehensive about starting my renovation as I have had poor experiences with trades before. But working with the Renovation Broker was smooth and hassle-free. Their designs were imaginative and clever, and they hooked us up with the best trades for a first-rate job. The arms-length approach that the Renovation Brokers use - where they put you in touch with trades for you to engage directly, worked really well. They have no vested interest in having you engage 'their guys', just a common interest to help us get the best job done. I would not hesitate to recommend them in the future.

Seamless, high quality, on budget and on time. We were living in Papua New Guinea and needed to do an extensive renovation on the backend of our house before we returned home. We were very nervous about managing a huge project from another country, not being able to deal with the builders in person but Brett made it so easy that we didn't have a moment's worry. It was great to see the progress shots and the result was exactly as we hoped, our house was transformed. There were no unforeseen issues, nothing that required more time or money because Renovation Broker's had done such a thorough project scope and execution plan. I feel like we got the most professional and skilled people working on our project - definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to know everything before a hammer is picked up and wants a fantastic finished product!

The project management was appalling, and while we now have a nice kitchen the attention to detail was really poor. I still have a dispute with the cabinet maker and the guy who put down the floor with an inch gap between the floor and the cupboards that is about 2 metres long. I asked the project manger to resolve this multiple times, but no response to email, phone calls or sms . I wouldn’t recommend them and wouldn’t reuse.

The Renovation Broker is a must for anyone wanting to renovate. We were overwhelmed by the decision of which professionals to engage for the renovation of our Kitchen. We were lucky to come across Brian & Brett Patterson on Houzz who were a one stop shop for everything we needed. From the time we first met with Brian we knew that we were in a safe pair of hands. Brian took the time to understand our goals and delivered practical advice and a gorgeous design. Brett helped us to bring the vision to life by tendering for the work, helping us to select suppliers and supporting us along the way. The project was delivered on time and on budget. We got so much more for our money than we could have dreamed possible. Thank you to Brian, Brett and the Renovation Broker! We have a beautiful kitchen that we know that we will enjoy for many years to come.

Brett and the team at The Renovation Broker were fantastic to deal with. They took all of the pain away with organising trades people. They also know who are the best trades people in the industry, so I had peace of mind that the people we were dealing with were the best at what they do. They also came up with ideas for the kitchen that we would never have thought about.

We are incredibly pleased with our kitchen renovation. Our project included knocking down some structural walls and opening up to a usable living and dining space. Brett offered sound advice and drew on his experience to find us a terrific builder and other suppliers to work with. He made himself available when we had questions and helped to quickly resolve any issues that popped up. Brett has extensive experience and respect in the industry which means he can draw on the best resources available.

The Renovation Broker delivered us our dream kitchen and laundry. They designed it in such as way as to maximise the space and to meet the demands of 5 adults. Our brief was simple, we wanted an island and they met that and more. The Island is more of a continent and is now the hub our family interactions. Brian showed great insight in his design and Brett great stewardship of the project.

Very experienced and friendly advice on all aspects of our large home renovation project, The only small annoyances were our own conflicting preferences in some areas - but overall we are delighted with the look and feel of the project results.

I was so glad I found The Renovation Broker who looked after the whole renovation of my Kitchen & Bathroom from design to tendering it out for me to quality suppliers and coordinating the whole project. It was so easy working with Brett and his team who were always looking to get the best outcome for me. All the renovation Broker suppliers and contacts were outstanding and their advice through the project invaluable, thanks so much for an amazing kitchen and bathroom. Thomas

I would like to thank The Renovation Broker so much for the wonderful job they did on our Kitchen and bathroom renovation. All of their suppliers were amazing and did a fantastic job, but what we really liked was the process of The Renovation Broker, they just made it so easy. Its just amazing looking at the finished job and looking back at the rendered CAD drawings The Renovation Broker did and they look just like the finished product. My wife has a hard time visualising drawings but the rendered pictures made it much easier for her. We highly recommend Brett and his team cant thank them enough.

Brett and Colin were great to work with. We engaged The Renovation Broker to design, tender out our job and some of the project management aspects (installation of the benchtops). Brett and his team brought real value to the table with their experience in the industry, their connections with quality builders, cabinet makers, benchtop guys etc. A lot of the stress of renovating a kitchen was removed as everyone we dealt with through The Renovation Broker were proven, trusted professionals. Everyone was interested in keeping the customer happy and delivering what we wanted. We also appreciated being given trade centres to visit to really see all the various products available so we could make informed choices about what we wanted in our kitchen. There were no surprises. Colin was particularly good at listening to our requirements in the initial design phase and gave us what we wanted rather than what was on trend. He also presented options and ideas to us to consider but ultimately worked with us to come up with what suited us best. We love our final kitchen and thoroughly recommend using the Renovation Brokers. Stuart & Lesley

We were having a larger renovation done but wanted to make sure our small kitchen was as functional as possible. Brett and the team were amazing and introduced us to many space saving and functional ideas. We particularly enjoyed the Co-creation aspect of this project as all of our needs and ideas were taken into account. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Brett and his team were thoughtful in their design, showing a great deal of skill and thought. Very easy to work with and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommended!

Our experience with The Renovation Broker was smooth and professional. Our project required a certain level of intricacy which Brett and the team provided to a high level. Budgets and timeframes we also important and were met. I highly recommend The Renovation Broker team as having them manage the project from design, construction to completion felt like we were all one team.

I selected to use the The Renovation Broker to insure a seamless project whilst our family was overseas. We arrived back to a finished project which is completed to a very high standard. The team made it simple for us as the owners to focus on our daily lives knowing all was in hand. We are so happy we selected The Renovation Broker, as a trusting relationship was exactly what we were after.

The Renovation Broker team were amazing to deal with. After doing research on various other companies, Brett, Brian and the team were a breath of fresh air and made a stressful process quite enjoyable. The trades that they recommended were professional, courteous and time efficient. I would not hesitate to recommend The Renovation Broker to all.

They have all you needed for a perfect kitchen. Creative design and professional advice is the most impressive part. We love the new kitchen we have and it is surely the most stunning place in our house.

The Renovation Broker is very professional and all the designers from The Renovation Broker communicate with clients to understand client's needs. Great design, great people, and excellent service from The Renovation Broker.

The Kitchen Broker team were wonderful. They listened to our brief and came up with some inspiring & practical ideas. The detailed drawings helped us visualise how the design would come to life before we took the plunge and the recommendations with bench tops, cabinetry & handles was spot on. We are very happy with our Kitchen and expansive Butler’s pantry. This kitchen has given us everything we asked for & more. We’d highly recommend The Kitchen Broker.

When Brett suggested turning the little shed at side of house into a top class hair salon I couldn't visualize it. ! My brief was to provide a top class space for my exclusive clients. Having many years at the Philippe Xavier salon in the 4 Seasons in Sydney and traveling the globe with Joshua Galvin in London , Brett and his Team went about designing a very stylish and funky salon with custom made furniture from Italy. However as always The Renovation Broker pride themselves on functionality which also precedes. I love my new salon as do my clients. Thank you for great work Regards Denise

Thrilled with our new kitchen. From start to finish the team at the renovation broker were instrumental in helping us achieve the kitchen of our dreams. They took the guess work out of everything by providing us with mock-up designs and then putting us in touch with the best in the trade.. and in addition, their connections helped us a save a ton of money. Very very pleased with the outcome and have absolutely no hesitation in recommended them.

We used The Renovation Broker for our renovation project in early 2017 to design the upgrade to our kitchen and informal lounge room. After not really knowing how we wanted to change the kitchen, Brian amazed us with his idea to turn the entire kitchen around and open up the room to face the pool area. We also applied the same idea to the informal lounge room to make both areas indoor/outdoor living spaces. As this was part of a general upgrade to the entire downstairs of our house, we appreciated the good contacts they had for builders and suppliers which were excellent. The results of the renovation exceeded our expectations and although it was a bit more than we first budgeted, it was worth it to get the modern, high end look we were after and an obvious improvement to the house. Taking into consideration the cost of the entire project, the services provided by The Renovation Broker was well worth it for their experience, expertise and innovative design ideas they brought to the project. Brett and Brian were easy to work with, always friendly and easily contactable when we needed help.

When my husband and I started looking into bathroom renovations it became very overwhelming. By luck we stumbled upon the renovation broker and instantly felt at ease. They offered a flat fee which included a session with the designer, three design options and then a final design with 3D rendered which made it easier to visualise our two new bathrooms. We then had building plans that we could pass directly to the builder making their job much easier. Part of their service also included three quotes from builders they recommended which gave us confidence in choosing our successful builder as they had previously worked with all. I can highly recommend the renovation broker - Brett and his team put our minds at ease and gave us two beautiful bathrooms (ensuite and main bathrooms).

Renovation Broker brought together some great trades people for us who delivered the project on budget and on time. A good service well worth using to coordinate and manage any renovation projects.

We were very happy with our kitchen, laundry and family room renovation. Years of experience and know how were evident in the design. We needed to stick to a budget and we needed to finish before Christmas and the whole team helped us achieve this. Enzo the builder is worth his weight in gold as any issues that came us were quickly rectified. I have never met a more organised and professional builder. Thanks for helping us achieve our renovation goals.

We found The Kitchen Broker through Houzz. After seeing many positive reviews, we decided to get the Kitchen Broker to design our kitchen. We got in touch with Brian for the initial design consultation. He really took his time to listen to our needs and after looking at all our options gave us the best advice for moving our current kitchen to best utilise the space within our home and proximity to the yard. After numerous follow up sessions due to our changing designs and budget constraints we settled on a final design. We then worked with Brett on getting quotes from builders, as well as other kitchen companies for the joinery and bench top. Brett was very patient with us and spent a lot of time organising in home quotes. After a few months a builder finally became free who met our budget and Brett was fantastic in project managing and making sure the builder, stone and joinery teams were delivering on our tight Christmas deadline. Brett was very dedicated to see things through and would often pop over to see how things were going, and to lend an extra set of eyes and hands. The results were stunning, we now have our dream kitchen, and since completion we've been feasting with both sides of our family every day this festive season, our family loves it too. Thanks Brian and Brett for making our dream a reality! We would highly recommend The Kitchen Broker!

We used The Kitchen Broker to design the renovation of our inner city studio apartment and also manage the project while we were overseas. Brian's knowledge and experience allowed us to completely transform our unit with his innovative design, maximising both space and storage. Brett managed the project from start to finish and dealt with all aspects of the renovation in a professional manner. Our renovation required Brett to co-ordinate the many professionals involved and he always kept us up to date with the progress of the work. He dealt with new issues as they arose (we needed to bring our bench top in over the balcony using a crane) and we always felt confident that the project was in safe hands. We are very happy with our renovation and very pleased we chose The Kitchen Broker.

We went to The Kitchen Broker with what we thought was a pokey little corner and they have designed us a fantastic, state of the art kitchen that we absolutely love!

We used The Kitchen Broker for our kitchen renovation. After knocking through a wall to open up the kitchen/living/dining space, we had to do a complete remodel. There were a few tricky corners that accommodate our apartment complex's infrastructure, and The Kitchen Broker did a fabulous job of working with our space to make it really workable. The layout and some key features were things I would never have though of and they've proved really valuable in making our space functional. The trades they supplied did excellent work and were honest, reliable, friendly guys. We're just about to get them back to do our bathroom renovation too.

Brett and the team were great to work with. Honest, reliable and trustworthy. We love our new kitchen. The design is beautiful and functional which is perfect for our growing family.

Thank you Brian and Brett for the amazing work you did in designing and project managing our new kitchen, laundry, walk in wardrobe and built in wardrobes. When we first heard about The Kitchen Broker, we thought that such a service could be what we were looking for when designing and building our new kitchen. We were right - but it was so much more than that. From our initial discussion with Brian to the finishing of the last details with Brett just before Christmas (thank you again for making that happen!), we could not have been happier with the whole experience. Our vision, which we really couldn't even properly articulate, was artfully designed and then brought to life in 3D images enabling us to visualise what the design would look like in that space in our home. We never thought we'd be able to afford our dream kitchen, but thanks to the industry contacts of The Kitchen Broker, they were able to bring the whole project in budget for us, which meant we didn't have to compromise on design, materials or workmanship. Brian and Brett were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish and nothing was ever too much trouble. I would highly recommend The Kitchen Broker to anyone looking for quality design at an affordable price, brought to you with utmost professionalism.

Brian from the Kitchen Brokers did a great job designing our kitchen and laundry. He included all the specifications we requested and made some really good suggestions for the layout. The end product came out looking just like the cad drawing. Brett project managed both the inside and outside. He was never far from his phone and visited the site regularly. We had one major hiccup, laying the floor. The product, supplier and installer were sourced ourselves and in hindsight that was the error. After being messed about we asked Brett to step in and he found installers to come the next day and they did a great job. Lesson learnt, if the product can't be sourced through the project manager compromise and go with a different product. The trades organised by the Kitchen Brokers were very good but the service and finished products we got from Peter from Build to Perfection (builder of the deck and pergola), Tony from Magno Kitchens and Brendan from Bob Moore Lighting were exceptional.

We were so happy with the design and installation of our new kitchen and laundry through The Kitchen Broker. The service provided was friendly and professional. The design of our kitchen in very functional and makes the kitchen a pleasure to work in. So many of our friends have commented on how great the kitchen looks and how practical it is. Thanks again Brett and Brian!

We cannot speak highly enough of the work done by Brian and Brett, 'The Kitchen Broker'. From the design stage through the management of all the associated trades to the completed project, we have outstanding support. On this project we had to leave the State during installation and they were on site to ensure the project continued as scheduled. Any unexpected changes that occurred was never a problem and the Trades people they have in their team to carry the work out, had all the necessary expertise and were all a pleasure to deal with, again no problem was to small or an issue, the work was done as scheduled and with the skill one expects. We would have no hesitation in endorsing this team for any project they managed. We have not posted a photo as we have still to clear our mess up.

We have been so impressed by your professionalism and your patience in guiding us through creating our new kitchen and turning our dream into a reality. Brian's design expertise, clever and creative ideas encouraged us to make brave choices. His design programme allowed us to visualise our kitchen as the colour palette can often stump even the best of us. The programme offers endless selections in benchtops, cabinets and colours for the walls at the touch of a button. The team of tradesmen and suppliers were a pleasure to deal with and were highly professional and competent. We would like to thank you for all your hardwork and efforts in creating our new kitchen, the light and space is like a breath of fresh air. Brian knew from day one exactly what we wanted making it easy to work with him.

I went to the Kitchen Broker with my new kitchen design .... I pretty much knew what I wanted .... but was ecstatic when Brian solved one issue very elegantly saving me a lot of money in the process .... and made a number of other suggestions which I was very happy to have incorporated....... once the drawings were finalised with Brett and quotes obtained the production and installation of the kitchen (with Brett's oversight) has gone very smoothly ..... both Brian and Brett are very professional, have a wealth of knowledge and all the right contacts to give me the kitchen of my dreams ...... I highly recommend the Kitchen Broker!

The Kitchen Broker carried out a total renovation of my one bedroom flat. Everything went smoothly from the initial consultation and design to the final fitting of kitchen and bathroom. The flat was transformed from its dowdy, rundown condition to a clean and funky new look, which included the removal of an internal wall to open up the kitchen and the installation of new bamboo floors. There was nothing that I needed to do after having made the decision about the inclusions. I continued my job uninterrupted, whilst The Kitchen Broker handled everything else. From my point of view it was a completely hassle free experience, producing a perfect result. My flat looks beautiful and I could not be more delighted. I wholehearted endorse the Kitchen Broker

We first met Brian at a Sydney home show where we saw the superb expertise illustrated in various examples of what Brian and his team at the Kitchen Broker can do. We commissioned Brian to do a complete design of our apartment which included a total reconstruction from the shell of the outside area. The way in which Brian listened to our initial thoughts and then added value through 3D images and design in colour with the actual external harbour view captured was sensational. This was followed by selection of the team of builder, electrician, plumber, interior designer, ICT specialists, air conditioning and flooring and tiling specialists. Everything went to plan and we are delighted with the final product as well as the entire process which was shared with us at all steps. What we have now is a magnificent new high quality apartment with state of art surround sound system all controlled by control 4 and the Internet. The lighting and furnishings were chosen with the interior designer and are so stylish. I recommend Brian and the team - absolutely brilliant and value for money

Awesome job!!!! made everything so easy for us. would recommend to anyone. Thanks guys. Love the way we could see the design before it was even started!! :)

Having found the Kitchen Brokers at a home show we were on our path for a beautiful, stress free kitchen renovation. They helped us to convert a vision onto paper, create a whole book of designs showing every aspect of how the finished product would be They had no problem with making any changes that I came up with, time and time again. They wanted us to be completely happy with the design and when we were, after choosing all the finishes in their showroom, they took over the process and project managed it from start to finish. They chose carpenters, stone suppliers etc. and negotiated quotes. Had it not been that we had our own builder working on site, they would have been involved in the construction, also. The whole process was co-ordinated by the Kitchen Brokers and was completely stress free on our part. My vision came to life and is perfect thanks to Brian & Brett Patterson, the Kitchen Brokers.

I am extremely happy with my new kitchen. The new design involved the removal of an internal wall to create a great new living space and a much more efficient kitchen space. They respected my views about the need to retain specific things and created a design accordingly. They had excellent communication between all the people involved - kitchen cabinets, stone, appliances, electrician plumber, builder, painter and followed through until every last detail was completed. They were mindful of my deadline and had the job completed on time. I valued their experience and knowledge to create something that far exceeded my expectations.

Wow is the first word on everyone’s lips when they enter our apartment and see the kitchen for the first time. It is a complete transformation from a small u-shaped one-way battleground to an expansive L-shaped gourmet’s delight. The light and space make it a pleasure to be stuck in the kitchen preparing a humble breakfast of a feast for ten. Finally a place for everything – and being well planned we know exactly where it is. David & Barbara

The Kitchen Broker was engaged in conjunction with the renovation of our French Provincial Kitchen, a project that had a number of challenging aspects including the removal of a double brick wall to allow enough room for an island bench to be incorporated into the kitchen. It was also important to us that the new kitchen be in keeping with the style of the house. The consultation, recommendations, design, sourcing of quotes and subsequent engaging and coordination of the various trades provided us with a process that was highly professional and streamlined. All the trades engaged were extremely courteous and respectful and we were quite confident in placing our trust in them in situations when we could not be at home while they were working. We feel we have benefited greatly from the industry experience of The Kitchen Broker and now have a new kitchen which is far more functional and vastly more visually appealing than the one it replaced.

After one meeting with a traditional kitchen company I knew that was not the way forward for me. I did not want to make hurried decisions, limited by a product range and under the pressure of securing a discounted package deal. I wanted to be able to explore the options available across the whole market and make considered choices that would result in a beautifully designed kitchen which would serve my family for years to come. Thankfully I found The Kitchen Broker who offer an innovative service that allows their clients maximum choice and minimum pressure. The Kitchen Broker designed, priced and project managed the kitchen of my dreams and my budget. Their service is friendly and knowledgeable. Their industry contacts are extensive and invaluable. The result is a kitchen that I love. Sonya

We met Brian and Brett through the "Grand Designs" exhibition at Darling Harbour last year. Jenny was quite intrigued by his ideas and proposals. We had never heard of a "kitchen broker" before and we were very interested to see how it would work. Brian came to our house and measured the kitchen area . He took photos and listened and spoke to us at length about our requirements leaving us with some suggestions and ideas for us to consider. When he came back a week or so later, we were very impressed with the professionalism of his design, drawings and Cad Cam representations . In early April the old kitchen was stripped out and we were off and running. Throughout the renovation Brian and Brett were incredibly supportive, any concerns or changes that we needed to make along the way were listened to and accommodated . There was always open, helpful and friendly discussion with the trades people involved and they kept the mess and disruption to a minimum. We are absolutely delighted with the finished result, having gained an enormous amount of space, functional storage , beautiful finishes and a kitchen that works with ease. Brian and Brett were a pleasure to work with and the trades people they recommended all did a first class job. We highly recommend them. Edward and Jenny Lee

Dear Brian, I am writing to say a huge thank you for making one of the most stressful, decision laden areas of building a home such an easy pleasure. Your expertise in designing a functional yet stylish kitchen was second to none, however it was the supply and co-ordination of the other trades that really made it an easy process. We appreciated that you were always available to come to site and check the work of your suppliers, and the joiner and benchtop company did such a beautiful job on the kitchen that we used them throughout the rest of our home - in the bathrooms, robes, etc. The money you saved us with the quotes from your suppliers more than covered your fees so we definently came out ahead by using The Kitchen Broker. We couldn't be happier with the service you provided and have recommended you to all our friends! Leanne Bartlett, Bronte NSW.

Brian Patterson designed our kitchen, laundry, bathroom, walk in wardrobe and entertainment unit. Brian listened to what we were hoping to to achieve for each room, and he came up with such clever designs to create more space, so many more cupboards, a place for our family to sit and eat our meals, an amazing bathroom, so much more room for us to hang our clothes, and entertainment unit that fit in perfectly. We could not be happier with our new beautiful home. Because we could deal directly through to the Kitchen Broker, they saved us money and also time, as we were connected to the supplier of tiles, kitchen appliances, bathroom ware, and the cabinet maker. This made life so much easier knowing that we did not have to spend time running around looking for suppliers, and hoping they would do a great job. Everyone that we dealt with was just as professional and knowledgeable as Brian.
