Where I travel, and how I decide
I am based in Coffs Harbour. I work across the Mid North Coast and selected Northern Rivers locations by appointment, and I confirm travel, access and scope in writing before anything is booked.
I do not have an office in any other town. When I work outside Coffs Harbour I drive there, and that is factored into the written quote rather than added afterwards.

Port Macquarie to Nambucca
Port Macquarie, Wauchope, Kempsey, South West Rocks, Macksville and Nambucca Heads.
This is the southern end of where I travel and it is a genuine drive, so I am selective about what I take on down here. A whole-home Baseline is worth the trip. If you are in this area and thinking about a renovation or a purchase, tell me the suburb and what is on your mind, and I will be straight with you about whether it makes sense.
Coffs Coast to the Clarence Valley
Coffs Harbour, Sawtell, Bellingen, Woolgoolga, Grafton, Maclean and Yamba.
This is home. Coffs Harbour is my base, so this is where I am most often, and where a shorter job or a follow-up visit is easiest to arrange. Housing stock here runs from post-war fibro through to recent coastal builds, and the older stock is where a measured starting record usually earns its keep.
Ballina to Byron Bay
Ballina, Lennox Head and Byron Bay.
The northern end. Same approach as the south: it is a drive, so I am honest about whether the job justifies it. Renovation work up here is often design-led and moving quickly, which is exactly when a record of the existing building is worth having before the drawings are locked in.
If you are outside these areas
Ask anyway. If it is a reasonable drive and the job suits, I will tell you. If it is not, I will say that too rather than quoting a number that has travel buried in it.
What I confirm before booking
- What gets measured, and at which locations
- Which areas I can reach, and which I cannot
- How long I will be on site
- The travel
- The total, in writing
Nothing is booked from a phone conversation alone. I carry out every assessment personally. You are not being handed to a contractor.
The Home Performance Baseline starts at A$1,815 inc GST. Every property is scoped and quoted in writing before booking.

Tell me the suburb and where the project is up to.
I will tell you whether a Baseline would help, and whether the drive makes sense.
