Renovating kitchens is among those projects that really bring out my creativity.
Every time I update a kitchen, I see it as an opportunity to transform the centerpiece of a house, which is what makes it special.
After helping several Perth families with giving their kitchen a makeover, I have acquired some knowledge that honed my skills as a builder.
As a matter of fact, I started my career working on kitchens. After school, I would assist my dad in installing cabinets and other fixtures. Now that I have Northside Developments to run, I can’t deny the excitement I feel whenever someone would inquire about giving their kitchen a new look!
Or maybe it’s just because I’m a fan of cooking myself. Or maybe it is just that I enjoy watching families sit around the kitchen.
I have learned many good lessons doing these projects and will share some of them.
Learning from Success
The kitchen of Lisa Loaring shows our ability to avoid some of the most common issues:
“James from Northside Developments is so good at navigating building codes and structural requirements, which resulted in a safe and exceptional renovation. He also shared amazing insights on the design. Because of this, the final result really exceeded our expectations!”
As you see, Lisa Loaring’s feedback demonstrates the key factors that allow us to deliver exceptional results. Aside from our expertise in design, we are also knowledgeable about the structural aspects and can come up with creative solutions to address any issues that will arise.
Planning and Communication
Jordan G shared how we are able to clearly communicate with our clients, which is one of the reasons behind our success:
“The Northside Team is really great at communicating with us. They are transparent with the process, the costs, and everything else involved. Because of that, I can certainly recommend them.”
We want to educate our clients right from the start, from project scope to budgets and timelines. We are trying to avoid problems later on resulting in poor communication.
Technical Considerations
Here’s how Emil Rozkoszny would describe our expert approach:
“James’s attention to detail is impressive. Not only that, but he’s also good at adopting modern methods, which I really appreciate the most. No wonder Northside’s projects are truly outstanding.”
In every project we undertake, we would make sure to give importance on the technical aspects, such as the plumbing, ventilation, electronics, waterproofing, and more.
Project Management
As a professional builder, I truly believe that one of the most effective ways to avoid costly mistakes is proper management. As what Aaron Treacy has said:
“Northside Developments delivered on every promise they made. I love how prompt they are. They also communicate well and will even suggest cost-effective improvements.”
Besides proper timeline control, the other elements that help us achieve success include progress updates, management of budget, and quality assurance.
Design and Functionality
Sailormikeful is happy with our approach to resolving issues concerning challenges in design. According to him:
“James was punctual and makes sure to let us know of any delays. But what really impresses me is he offers creative solution when it comes to the design and construction.”
When it comes to the overall design and functionality, we would consider factors like work triangle efficiency, traffic flow, storage optimisation, and light planning.
Quality and Durability
I have handled varying projects for so many years now, and one of the most significant realizations I have is that quality workmanship is of utmost important.
Peter Fryer has talked about this on his feedback, saying:
“They were indeed very professional. I also found them easy to work with and are highly skilled and knowledgeable. Even though we’ve faced some challenges, James was able to finish it on a timely manner and with outstanding results!”
To achieve quality work, we make sure to select the right materials, maintain high standards on installation, give importance on the finish, hardware, and overall workmanship.
Cost Management
Because of our cost management approach, we’ve helped our clients avoid going over budget while delivering and maintaining quality work. Jordan G has praised us because of this:
“What I really love about them is they are very transparent on the overall cost. Right from the start, they set clear expectations.”
We know that renovation projects are not cheap. Because of this, we make sure to quote the client accurately, be transparent with the pricing, and offer cost-effective solutions when necessary.
Professional Expertise
I am proud to say that I possess a Diploma in Building and Construction. And on top of that, I’ve now acquired many years of experience. These are some of the main reasons we excel on what we do.
In every project, we make sure to demonstrate our technical knowledge, excellent problem-solving abilities, clear communication, and industry experience.
Looking Forward
Renovating kitchens requires experience, precision, and communication. Northside Developments fulfill all three. As what Lisa says:
“We were impressed with their level of detail – the site was always left spotless, each step was explained clearly, and the workmanship was top quality. Timelines were met, and all questions were answered honestly.”
