Builder On Site Daily
Not a site manager

Most renovation headaches come from the same thing β€” your builder signs the contract and then hands you to someone else. At Sync, Fady manages every renovation personally: briefing the trades, checking the work, and answering your calls directly. That's why our renovations finish on time, on budget, and without the stress.

Our Renovation Process

Step by Step β€” No Guesswork

Every renovation follows a clear, builder-led process so you always know what's happening, what's coming next, and who to call.

1

Free Consultation β€” On Site or by Phone

Fady meets with you to understand exactly what you want, what's realistic for your budget, and what the project will involve. No obligation, no sales pitch β€” just honest advice from a builder who's done it many times before in Canberra.

⏱ Usually 30–60 minutes
2

Design, Selections & Detailed Quote

We work with you to finalise the design, choose materials and finishes, and produce a detailed itemised quote covering every aspect of the build. If you have a designer or architect, we'll coordinate with them. If you need one, we can recommend people we trust.

⏱ 1–3 weeks depending on project scope
3

Approvals & Pre-Build Planning

We handle any required council approvals, building permits, and certifications. We also brief and schedule all trades to make sure the right people are on site at the right time β€” minimising delays and disruption to your household.

⏱ 2–6 weeks depending on approvals needed
4

Construction β€” Builder Present Every Day

Fady is on site every single day. Every trade is briefed, checked, and coordinated by the builder β€” not a supervisor or project admin. You receive regular updates and can call or message directly at any time.

⏱ Project-dependent β€” kitchen: 4–8 weeks, full-home: 3–6 months
5

Handover, Walkthrough & Warranty

When the work is complete, Fady walks through the entire renovation with you to confirm every detail is right. Full documentation, statutory warranties, and receipts for materials and trades are provided at handover. We don't disappear β€” if something needs attention after handover, we're a phone call away.

βœ“ Full statutory warranty + Sync's own quality guarantee

Why Canberra Homeowners Choose Sync

Builder on site β€” not a supervisor

Every trade on every Sync project is briefed and checked by Fady, the licensed builder, not a project manager or foreman who doesn't know the job like he does. That's what keeps quality where it should be.

No surprises on cost

Variations happen in renovation work β€” that's reality. What doesn't happen at Sync is finding out about cost changes at the invoice. If anything changes, we talk to you before we proceed. Every time.

You call the builder directly

Have a question at 7pm about tomorrow's work? You call Fady. Not a call centre, not a project admin, not a voicemail that gets answered in three days. Direct access to your builder throughout.

Approvals handled end-to-end

ACT planning and building approval requirements can be complex. We handle everything β€” development applications, building approvals, certifications β€” so you never have to decipher government paperwork.

Tradespeople we trust, briefed properly

We work with the same trusted tradespeople across projects β€” plumbers, electricians, tilers, and plasterers who know our standards and show up prepared. No random subcontractors picked the day before.

Statutory warranties β€” and we mean it

Every project is covered under Australian statutory warranty laws. More importantly β€” if something isn't right after handover, we come back and fix it. Our reputation in Canberra depends on it.

How long does a typical kitchen renovation take?

A standard kitchen renovation in Canberra takes 4–8 weeks from the start of construction, depending on the scope of structural work, the availability of materials, and trade scheduling. This doesn't include the design and planning phase (1–3 weeks) or any council approvals required. We give you a realistic timeline before you commit, and we stick to it.

In most cases, yes β€” especially for partial renovations like a kitchen or bathroom. We stage the work carefully to maintain access to other parts of the home, and we discuss the realistic disruption upfront so you can plan around it. For full-home renovations, we'll talk through your options honestly during the consultation.

It depends on the scope. Internal cosmetic work (new tiles, cabinetry, painting) generally doesn't require approval. Structural changes β€” such as removing a wall, altering the roofline, or adding an outdoor structure β€” may require a building approval or development application under ACT planning law. We assess this as part of the planning phase and handle all required approvals on your behalf.

We guide you through every selection β€” cabinetry, benchtops, tiles, tapware, flooring, lighting. Fady has strong supplier relationships in Canberra and can show you options across different price points. The goal is always to make selections that suit your lifestyle, your aesthetic, and your budget β€” not to upsell you on finishes you don't need.

Variations are common β€” and that's fine. What matters is how they're handled. Any change to the agreed scope is quoted and approved by you before work proceeds. We document it clearly, tell you the cost and time implications upfront, and nothing gets added to your bill without your sign-off. No surprises.

Ideally, 3–6 months before your intended start date. This gives us time to plan thoroughly, lock in the right tradespeople, and order any long-lead materials. We only take on projects we can give full attention β€” so our capacity is limited. Earlier contact means more options and a smoother start.
