THE RENOVATION PLAN · MELBOURNE
Start your renovation with a plan, not a guess.
Kitchens, laundries, bathrooms and whole-home internal renovations for established Melbourne homes — designed, planned and built by one team. Every project starts the same way: properly resolved on paper before anyone picks up a hammer.
Most projects start with the kitchen — and grow from there, where it makes sense to do the connected rooms together.
IN THEIR WORDS
Five stars, every review.

“Excellent and unconditionally recommended. Aaron was excellent throughout the process. Responsive, punctual, listened and made good suggestions, quoted promptly and fairly priced compared to others. He finished work on time and on budget.”
— Karen · Hawthorn
“I was very happy with the work Aaron and his team achieved. Communication was always on point and worked in with all my needs and budget to achieve an amazing finished product on a kitchen/living/laundry areas.”
— Tim · Macleod
What proper planning leads to
WHO YOU’LL BE DEALING WITH
You deal with Aaron, start to finish.
Bluestone is run by Aaron. From the first conversation to the final finish, you work with him directly — not a call centre, not a roster of strangers, and no surprises sprung on you mid-build.
He plans every kitchen properly, brings in the licensed trades, and coordinates the whole job — so one person stays accountable from start to finish.
WHY IT’S DONE THIS WAY
Most renovation problems start before the quote.
The layout isn't resolved.
01
The scope is vague.
02
The allowances are unrealistic.
03
Important trade details get missed.
04
We slow this down — so the big decisions get made on paper, before they get made expensively on site.
WHAT PROPER PLANNING COVERS
Everything decided up front.
Layout
How the space should work, flow and connect.

Finishes
Cabinetry, stone, fixtures and allowances.
Trades

GOOD QUESTIONS
Frequently asked.
-
Yes. Sending your project details and getting our honest read on it costs nothing. The only paid step is the on-site Kitchen Plan — and only if it's the right next move for your project.
-
Kitchens are our focus, and most projects start there — but we also renovate laundries, bathrooms and whole-home internal spaces, usually as part of a kitchen-led project where it makes sense to do the connected rooms at the same time.
-
Because it's real work, not a sales call. You get measurements, honest advice and a documented plan you keep — the opposite of a "free quote" designed to win the job before anything's been thought through. Charging for it is also why the advice stays honest.
-
For a serious renovation, an accurate quote needs a resolved scope — and resolving the scope is exactly what the Renovation Plan produces. Without it, any number is a guess.
-
Send your details anyway. If now isn't the right time to spend on planning, we'll tell you so — and what to sort out first.
-
