Renovation intelligence

Know before
you build.

Before a single trade is engaged, we apply deep property and construction knowledge to assess, plan, and de-risk your renovation. This is the intelligence layer that most homeowners never get — and the reason Arcova Projects projects run the way they do.

Experience that protects your investment.

Our background spans property management, compliance, and construction project coordination. That combination gives us a perspective most renovation companies don't have — we understand properties as assets, not just building sites. We know what goes wrong, what gets missed, and what the market rewards. That knowledge is applied to every project we manage, from the first assessment to the final handover.

01

Renovation feasibility assessments

Before you commit to a renovation, we assess whether the project is structurally, financially, and compliance-wise viable. We identify potential issues early — so you make informed decisions, not expensive ones.

Includes structural assessment, compliance review, approval requirements, and preliminary cost benchmarking.

02

Budget forecasting

Accurate, itemised budget forecasting based on current Perth trade rates, material costs, and project scope. We give you a realistic picture of what your renovation will cost — before you're committed.

Includes trade cost benchmarking, material allowances, contingency planning, and ROI projections for investment properties.

03

Compliance reviews

A thorough review of your property's current compliance status — identifying any existing defects, non-compliant works, or outstanding obligations that need to be addressed before or during your renovation.

Covers building permits, safety compliance, electrical and plumbing compliance, and WA building code requirements.

04

Defect identification

We inspect properties for existing defects — structural, waterproofing, finishing, and compliance-related — before renovation work begins. Knowing what you're dealing with prevents costly surprises mid-project.

Particularly valuable for investment properties, pre-purchase assessments, and properties with previous renovation work.

05

Maintenance risk assessments

For investment property owners and landlords, we assess the current condition of a property and identify maintenance risks before they become emergency repairs — protecting your asset and your cash flow.

Includes condition reporting, priority maintenance identification, and a planned maintenance schedule.

06

Building defect inspections

A thorough inspection of a property to identify existing building defects — structural issues, waterproofing failures, substandard workmanship, and non-compliant construction. Essential before purchasing, before renovating, or when you suspect previous work wasn't done properly.

Covers structural defects, waterproofing and moisture issues, substandard finishes, non-compliant building work, and safety hazards. Delivered as a written defect report with priority ratings and recommended rectification actions.

The Arcova advantage

Property knowledge. Construction standards. Combined.

Most renovation companies see a building site. We see a property asset. Our background in property management and compliance means we approach every renovation with an understanding of how the decisions made during a renovation affect the long-term value, liveability, and compliance of the property. That's not something you can fake — it comes from experience, and it's built into every project we manage.
