How to renovate a Californian Bungalow
How to renovate a Californian Bungalow

In the first of these videos I took you through the project we will be following during this series - the renovation of a Californian bungalow in Sydney. So go back and watch that if you haven't yet seen it yet!

And in this, Video 2, we will be looking closely at the first stage of this renovation - the renovation of the completely original Californian Bungalow.

In the video I look at four key things:

  1. the original photos and floor plan and what was good about this property and what the challenges with it were

  2. the design and issues that came up as we started designing

  3. A 3D tour of the design in SketchUp (including a full fly through of the model)

  4. And finally I take you completely behind the scenes and share the full budget breakdown for this part of the renovation and show you exactly what it costs to renovate a property like this - and the mistakes we made with our budget (so you can avoid these!).

In the video I mention my free information session all about SketchUp. You can sign up for that HERE
