FAQs
What is the Renovation Companion System?
It walks you through the exact process interior designers use when renovating, broken down into checklists, shopping checklists & step-by-step guides, plus trade-ready templates & designer principles you can apply yourself, built for DIYers.
Is it only for full renovations or builds?
No. It works for full projects & smaller updates alike, the process is the same, just the level of detail changes.
Can I use it if I already have a builder or architect?
Yes. It helps you clarify your design direction & communicate decisions clearly, so there's less back & forth & you stay in control of your finishes.
Do I need design experience?
No. It's built for the everyday person, with guided prompts & clear steps so you can move through with confidence.
Can a builder quote from this?
Yes. Your builder will quote from the outputs you complete following the System, your finished design concept brief, drawings (if applicable) & finishes & fixtures schedule.
Can I use it for one room, or does it have to be a whole home?
Either. It's customisable to suit whole-home projects or individual spaces like kitchen, bathroom & laundry.
How do I access it after purchase?
Instantly. Canva templates open as your own editable copy & Excel files are direct downloads, so you can start straight away.
