You’ve finally got the money together to start renovating your home, but with that comes decisions! What work to prioritise, how to get the biggest bang for your buck, where to find reliable builders, painters, plumbers, electricians that’ll do the job right the first time.

 

BUT LET ME GUESS… 

 

you feel stuck, unsure where or how to get started…

 

and you’ve probably found yourself stressed and overwhelmed by:

 

  • What it’s all going to cost and whether or not you can actually afford it
  • Where to start with designing it all – your paint colour, floor finishes, tapware and hardware
  • Whether you need to hire an architect, a draftsperson, a builder, or maybe even an interior designer first – and the right one at that
  • What does and doesn’t trigger a Building Consent and what you need to do to ensure compliance

You’ll learn how to:

Draw a floorplan
Interpret and annotate drawings
Identify the scope for your project and brief consultants and contractors accordingly
Pull a schedule together of all fixtures, finishes, fittings and equipment
Build a renovation cost tracker / budget and use it to complete reviews of contractor pricing
Review and enter into a contractor's contract
Manage a construction project from start to finish

This eCourse includes

- 6 modules taking you from inception to construction

- 3 workbooks showing you how to draw a floor plan, identify your scope and prepare a brief

- Templates required for issuing scopes, building timelines, generating budgets and more

AND, I’ll even tell you who you need to hire to skip some of the steps and make your life EVEN EASIER if you don't totally want to run the reno yourself. Whether you’re DIYing the whole design and consenting process, or outsourcing it, I’ll chat you through what you need to do, and tell you which of these documents and templates to use when.

To be honest, I was a bit of a mess until I found Jen!
I was so stressed out and didn't know where to go for help. After I found the course, within a week I was on track, with a realistic budget and a clear set of goals and scope. I would 100% recommend this course - it will save you $1000s in the long run as it's a shortcut way to all the things you need to know.

Your Dream Home Renovation eCourse + Coaching
I am nearly half way through the modules and already its been well worth the investment!
As a renovation rookie I was completely naive as to how much things cost, their timelines, and when and how to even get started. Jen's eCourse has helped to give us a much needed reality check so we can approach our renovation with the knowledge and skills to make it work for us and avoid any unwelcome surprises. We feel so supported through the process with having Jen available for questions in the coaching calls and the Facebook group. The modules are clear and easy to follow and it's great that we can work through it at our own pace. I'm sure that as we move through to the building phase of our renovation, having the support of Jen and the group will continue to be invaluable.

Jen and her wealth of experience is absolutely invaluable.
The online modules are easy to follow, incredibly well explained and heaps of fun. There is a tonne of valuable content; from the templates, ebooks and having the FB group to post questions and ask for help in. But the game-changer is access to Jen! The coaching calls just take the course to a whole new level - for a reno-rookie like me, having Jen there to help support, give me advice, and tell me about the great products she has worked with, has just been invaluable. Within the first 5 minutes of our first coaching session Jen had taken a look at my proposed floor plan and confirmed that it wouldn’t actually work, 10 minutes later she had whipped up a far more usable floor plan. Really looking to get into the actual reno phase with Jen’s support.

I found the ebooks so valuable, I signed up to the eCourse
Absolutely recommend! I felt very overwhelmed by all the work needed on our house and had no idea where to start. A friend recommended the e-books as a starting point - bite sized super helpful tips and instructions on how to tackle different areas of your property. I found these so valuable that I signed up to the eCourse and now have a really clear understanding and am underway with some of our renos. I have followed a few DIY influencers but find Jen the best as its all local NZ knowledge, can't beat it! You've saved me so much already, thank you!

Easy to follow and full of such valuable information and resources
I have loved this eCourse, it's so easy to follow and full of such valuable information and resources. Understanding the costs involved with renovating using the ballpark figures provided is super helpful when trying to decide the extent of your renovation, and is also great for when you're house hunting and trying to work out what you can afford to pay for the house as well as any potential renovations. I highly recommend this course.

Kickstart your dream home renovation project
MODULE 1
Kickstart your dream home renovation project
45mins lessons + 2hrs activity
The hardest part is getting started - taking your vision board and actually doing something with it! No matter what your level of renovation experience is, or what stage of the project you’re at, I’ll help you make sure the fundamentals are in place to ensure a successful renovation. We’ll outline a budget ballpark early on too, before anyone gets carried away!
02
Set the timeline for your dream home renovation
MODULE 2
Set the timeline for your dream home renovation
45mins lessons + 1hr activity
Knowing the order of things, and how long each phase of the project will take, will help you to set realistic milestones for delivery at every step of your renovation journey. You’re in charge of the timeline, but I’ll help you to map out a realistic one.
03
Brief your dream home renovation team
MODULE 3
Brief your dream home renovation team
55mins lessons + 1.5hrs activity
Every home renovation journey involves a team of many – not a team of one. Identifying who to add to your team, and when, is critical to success. Do you need an architect? A draughtsman? An engineer? What type of engineer? I’ll give you the who, the when and the how. You can skip this step if you already have your Consent in place!
04
Drawings & Documentation for your dream home renovation project
MODULE 4
Drawings & Documentation for your dream home renovation project
1hr 40mins lessons + 2.5hrs activity
Renovating your home without at least a floor plan is setting yourself up for failure. Even the most rookie of renovators can whip up a floor plan. I’m going to break it down into simple steps for you in case you’re not working with a draughtsman or architect (projects that don’t trigger Consent often don’t have drawings but these are helpful for builders!). Fixtures, fittings, finishes and equipment can make or break your budget and timeline. Finding the right balance between fitout aesthetic, interior quality and the bottom line is a fine art that you will nail with my help.
05
Building your dream home renovation budget
MODULE 5
Building your dream home renovation budget
1hr 35mins lessons + 3hrs activity
When your drawings and FFF&E are on track, you can start to map out your budget, room by room, line by line. This is easier than you think! You’ve already done most of the work, you just need to plug and play - you can also skip to this step at the beginning and build it as you go *if you want*. When you’re confident you can afford what you’ve planned for, I’ll show you how to prepare a comprehensive scope document for your builder and issue it for preliminary pricing. I’ll even show you what to look for in quotes before you sign your life (and your dream home) away.
06
Your dream home renovation underway on site
MODULE 6
Your dream home renovation underway on site
1hr 30mins lessons + 3hrs activity
There’s a reason planning takes place over five steps whereas construction is only one! Your hard work has paid off. Now, you just need to keep the momentum going on site. The nature of any renovation is that you’ll encounter a few unexpected bumps – but thanks to your comprehensive planning, all problems can be easily overcome. Remember – I’m here to support you every step of the way - that’s why I offer a ‘pick my brain’ service as well!

By the end of the eCourse, you'll
know how to:

Identify the exact scope, and a bunch of the risky items that might come up
Properly identifying your renovation scope up-front is key to ensuring you've accounted for everything in your renovation budget.
Detail out all the fixtures, fittings and finishes you'll need to procure
It's one thing to know the desired aesthetic for your home, but it's quite another to know exactly which fixtures, fittings and finishes will achieve it, where to source them, and what they'll cost.
Build a comprehensive renovation budget and timeline
Go into your renovation eyes-wide-open and prepared for any eventuality. Know exactly what you can and cannot afford, and have a plan in place to deal with the unknowns.

FAQs

Absolutely! Even with a Building Consent in place there's often still so much ti be done. Ensuring all of your fixtures and fittings are specified and on order (like tapware, tiles etc), preparing a cost tracker, writing and issuing a comprehensive scope to builder(s) for pricing, submission review and contract admission for your chosen builder, then all the on-site requirements once underway with construction, and the close-out tasks for Compliance after the fact. Bit of jargon used here but rest assured it's not as scary as it sounds - I break it all down for you with example documents in the eCourse.

Not at this stage on the basis that most people planning a renovation, have renovation funds available to invest in this eCourse. We do take credit card payments though. If you plan to enrol in the top tier eCourse and need to split up the payments, please email hello@renovatewithjenjones.com and we can discuss how that looks.

Life - which is defined as the life of the company or offering - not your life!

For small updates and changes to the existing version, yes.

The eCourse content includes tips on pulling together the documentation you need, and how to fine the fixtures and fittings that will help you to achieve your dream home goals. However, this is not an interior design course - it's a project management one. The design is worthless if you can't afford it and the point of this eCourse is to guide you through the whole design, consent and build process from start to finish either with you putting your design eye into practise, or working with an interior designer or architect throughout the process.
