Building blocks
While it might be tempting to tackle the kitchen and bathroom renovations yourself, getting a trusted tradie to do the work may save you money and time in the long run.
In a renovation, the kitchen and bathroom are among the hardest rooms to get right, particularly when it comes to keeping within budget, minimising delays and completing your home makeover to a high standard. Many an overzealous DIYer has started an ambitious home renovation with the goal of saving money, only to encounter problems that prove more costly to fix than if they’d just hired a professional to do the job from the start. This is where hipages comes to the rescue. The platform matches jobs with tradies, and puts the power — not the power tools — in your hands, giving you up to three competitive quotes to choose from. Engage an expert to help you complete your dream home.

Block’s Matthew Menichelli explains, “it’s a concept that delivers benefits and efficiency to both sides of the industry”.
