Step by Step Renovations

Buying property is an expensive deal. You need to know all you can about your new acquisition, how it works, how to improve it and how to make maximum profit out of it. That requires knowledge.
The Australian Renovator's Manual deals with structural issues on how to renovate existing houses with inherited problems.
Used extensively throughout the Building Industry and highly respected. It is easy to follow and inexpensive for the valuable information provided. If you are knowledgeable, it is harder to be misled. If the trades person argues, simply because you are a woman sometimes, open the page in the manual and show the correct details of construction.
This book helps you to identify areas where you can spend less and gain more.
If you are intending to buy, renovate and resell, mistakes can be costly if you get it wrong and the buyer's Building Inspector is not happy.
