You Asked, We Answered: The #1 Question We Get From Renovation Clients
“We want to renovate… but where do we even begin?”
Sound familiar? If you’re anything like the couples we work with every day here at LUXE Building, you’ve likely asked yourself the same thing. You’ve got a beautiful vision in your mind — a modern kitchen, an open-plan living area that flows effortlessly, a dreamy en-suite with natural light and luxury finishes. But getting started? That’s where the overwhelm kicks in.
Here’s the good news: you’re not alone. And there is a simple way forward.
The number one question in our inbox?
"What’s the first step we should take if we’re thinking about a major renovation?”
This article is dedicated to answering that very question. Because the first step doesn’t just set the tone for your renovation — it can be the difference between a smooth, exciting journey… and one that’s filled with surprises and stress.
Start With Clarity, Not Chaos
At LUXE Building, we’ve helped dozens of families across Orange, NSW, transform their homes with confidence. And the very first thing we help them do is get clear on the process.
When you know exactly what to expect, who to speak to, and what happens next — everything changes.
Here’s how we do it:
This is our Concepts Package, and it’s designed to give you vision, structure, and support from day one. It includes:

A Story From the Ground Up
Take Jeremy and Sue, for example. They came to us feeling stuck. Their family home was bursting at the seams, and they knew they wanted to extend — but didn’t know where to start. Should they call a draftsman? A designer? A builder?
One introductory call later, they finally had direction. Our team met them on-site, took time to understand how they lived, and mapped out a renovation plan that felt like a true extension of their lifestyle. Today? They’ve got the space they dreamed of — and the renovation felt far less daunting than they ever imagined.
So… Where Should You Start?
If you’re considering a renovation, don’t start with Google. Don’t start with Pinterest. And please don’t start by calling five different tradies.
Start with a conversation.
Ask yourself:
What’s not working in our current home?
What does our ideal lifestyle look like?
What spaces feel cramped, tired, or outdated?
Then book a call with a builder who can guide you from ideas to action — one step at a time.
The first step to a stress-free renovation is getting the right support from the start. When you begin with clarity — not chaos — you’re setting your renovation up for success.
If you’re ready to stop wondering where to begin and start building the home you truly love… we’re here.
