Project Management Services in Parramatta, New South Wales

“I Highly recommend Blakes Of Sydney! From day dot the service was very professional, reliable and friendly. We hired Blake to look after our entire kitchen and bathroom renovation. They made the whole process enjoyable, due to their knowledge of not only the designing and aesthetics of these zones, but also functionality. The project was completed on schedule because they were there the whole way to arrange consultations and advise us on when finishes or appliances needed to be chosen.We relied upon them to help guide our decisions on final finishes and appliances to keep us to a realistic budget. The final result was what we asked for and more!”

“Kahlia Cordony of Cordony Designs project managed our bathroom renovation. It was a challenging project, as we had a tight budget and Kahlia had to meet the constraints of the bathroom, e.g, it is a unit within a building which is close to 40 years old. The project was carried out on budget and time. Nothing was too difficult or too challenging. Kahlia always provided a solution. The level of service was exceptional, professional and always cheerful. Kahlia ensured that we were updated in a timely manner and the job was completed to our satisfaction and the end result met our expectations. It is a pleasure to work with a professional like Kahlia.”

“Our kitchen was starting to fall apart and needed make over. We want a retro look as our home was built in the 1950's, but modern materials that emulated the look and feel of the period. We wanted a bigger kitchen and decide to do extensive rebuild involving removing of walls, electrical and plumbing relocation. We also wanted someone who would do the whole project. When we started looking for a firm most could only do the kitchen and not the building works. But what swayed us to go with Nouvelle was they actually provided a preliminary design for us at the quotation stage. Others vendors would come and just talk or tell us how they would do it and ignore our ideas. The job is close to being complete and the kitchen is a joy and exactly how I pictured it would look. We also relocated the laundry to internal closet and combined a toilet and bathroom into a single room which Nouvelle did to. The design through to execution has been wonderful. It took close to 6 weeks. We moved out of home for 5 weeks. The Friday we were due to move back Nouvelle made sure that it was liveable water, electric, stove all worked. Only surprise we had was the bathroom floor need replacing and was quickly fixed by Nouvelle with only a small adjustment and reason it took longer then was expected. But old homes tend to have surprises. The staff were excellent both in the office and at the house. I would be happy to recommended Nouvelle to others, as our renovation went very smoothly and the results are something we can happily live with for many years to come. More pics on my ideas book.”

“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”

“I hired Neil Turrell and the fabulous Brad Trethowan for a significant personal renovation project that I needed done in an eye-wateringly tight timeframe. Not only did they do it on time, they were unfailingly professional and careful, and cheerful. We all know how important it is to be cheerful when the pressure's on during a reno! I have also worked with them on a professional basis on a number of occasions, and you couldn't find a better bunch of hard-working, big hearted people.”

“i can only recommend this firm very highly in every respct. The experienced computer designer was absolutely cooperative when discussing the project. Being hard to please and always seeking new ideas it took the operator several hours before I was fully satisfied to see the plan on the sceen however having somme second thoughts over night I went back the next morninhg as I wanted to modified a few things. The operator was very patient and we went trough everything for another two hours then being satisfied i waited for the general planning of the demolition of the old kitchen and the various stages of the building of the new one. Everything was well planned at every step. The subcontracters were all top tradesmen. The final supervision was very thorough and of high standard. I can recommend this firm in every respect. The designer was a pleasure to work with and at all stages the same friendly, pleasant and efficient relationship made the inconvenience of not having a kitchen for a bit over two weeks well worth it.”

“I engaged Sarah from Mi Designer to redecorate my boys bedrooms when we shifted them into new rooms and she came up with a complete concept, with a huge wallpaper map of the world for one, stampeding animals for the other, funky desks and chairs, floor rugs and lights. She really listed not just to me, but to the boys in working out what we'd all like and really nailed it. Each room looks very different but fantastic and the boys just love their rooms which is great. Sarah is lovely to deal with, smart and efficient. I work full time so really appreciate her straightforward style, she never wastes time and is always helpful. She even takes on extra tasks to get the job done, finding the right handyman to fix varioius things and just making it all easy. I will use Sarah for interior design again and again, in fact we're already talking about a few more projects around the house!”

“We engaged Advantage Interior Design to develop design concepts and specify colours, finishes and fittings for our new home build. Everything from the flooring, to feature walls, kitchen, bathrooms, custom cabinetry, staircase, lighting and window coverings. This was followed by the complete furnishing and styling of the home from scratch including custom made furniture, upholstery and artwork. The final result was amazing and exceeded expectations. Everybody, including visitors, has provided excellent feedback. The process saved me every weekend for 6 months picking tiles, taps, furniture and decorations. It was the most value for money exercise of the whole project.”

“While collaborating on a project with Kev from inovasis design, I found him to be highly professional and knowledgeable throughout the whole design process. His unique creativity along with a very approachable manner led to a successful project which exceeded my own and our clients expectations. I would recommend inovasis design if you are looking for a landscape design with an edge, something fresh and funky with attention to detail at all levels.”

“Review for Gillian Pembroke "Style by Gillian " March 2016 - John Spencer (first time renovator). I saw Gillian's website which impressed me, and I had a good talk with her about how she could assist me. I was wanting her advice/input about purchasing an apartment in Sydney's North and a plan for renovating. With her encouragement I bought a total "renovators delight". I wanted maximum gain from my investment. She methodically went through the property, and introduced fully accredited trades that she had recent history with, and it was obvious they shared a lot of trust and mutual respect. Gillian put together a very detailed Task List - stating everything that had to be done - room by room, trade by trade. She had a very solid technical understanding of many aspects of their work. I asked her to introduce all the trades required, but she was open to having people I knew work on the job as well. The task list meant all the trades quoted exactly what was required and I got a lot of prices within a week or two. She also helped with adapting plans based on sticking to my budget, something I had no experience with. That multi page Task list - was basically the template for my renovation. All the trades got a copy and quoted from her instructions - they all seemed very happy with having things set out so clearly. Once all the tasks were decided on - of course things got altered along the way, a result of having to make compromises based on my budget. Gillian printed the "Final Task list", which she laminated and put on a white board on the wall in the laundry. Everybody followed the tasks, marking off when things were completed. As a first time renovator I found this really helpful, It made me feel informed and empowered. Practical things such as having copies of the front door key made (marked Gillian's job, no address) and these were given to the various trades when they were hired and at the end of the renovation, the locksmith just changed the chamber! Gillian is a very good communicator and genuinely seems to enjoy the process of home improvement. She was there with her work boots, very comfortable in this domain. She also made a Timetable, with who was doing what and when, plus a Contact List (phone and email) of all the trades. This was also on the whiteboard. Everyone working on my job had a copy of these. This also really helped keep the trades on task, and they could call each other if they wanted to (cut water or shut down power etc.). What really impressed me was the genuine camaraderie on the job: I didn't expect that. There was a lot of goodwill with Gillian and all the various workmen, and between the different trades themselves. The fact a number of the men had done other projects before meant they were very co-operative and seemed happy sharing the site together. It made things happen quicker and I feel resulted in superior work. Of course there are always things happen that you cannot predict - but Gillian had her finger on the pulse the whole time. She was in touch with all the trades and things got sorted very efficiently and with a good dose of humour. Essential. This included keeping the other residents of the apartment block advised of noisy work etc. She made notices and put them under their doors, this really helped keep the peace. I visited daily but she oversaw the changes that had to happen when things crop up. I met with her on site every few days. Her various crews of trades didn't need to be pushed or baby sat. We stayed on budget and ahead of schedule - I got to move into my sparkling new home two weeks earlier than expected. She coached me through the whole process for a really reasonable fee. I couldn't be happier! - JOHN SPENCER”
