Description
DescriptionUsing our unique software we are able to design and quote home improvements within a few minutes, giving our our client a printed quote on the spot. Franchisees then project manage the project through council, meet the builder on site and ensure customer satisfaction.
Future Plans
Our main interest is in providing our existing Franchisees with improvements to our technology and services.With the recent opening of our first branch in Perth we are interested in opening several more branches in WA, as well as a few more in each of the other states.
We are also in the process of applying for a licence to operate in New Zealand and we look forward to opening a number of branches there.
