We started Progress Treasure because the renovation industry had a reputation problem, and we knew it could be better. Much better.
Homeowners treated like transaction numbers. Contractors who'd vanish for days without explanation. Budgets that somehow doubled. Timelines that stretched from weeks into months.
The entire experience felt adversarial when it should have been collaborative.
So we built something different. A company where transparency isn't a marketing term, it's how we actually operate.
Most companies subcontract everything. We maintain core tradespeople who work with us exclusively. They know our standards, they know our processes, and you'll meet them before work begins.
Our quotes break down every cost. Materials, labor, permits, everything. You'll know exactly what you're paying for, and we include contingency for unexpected discoveries instead of surprising you later.
Daily updates aren't a promise we struggle to keep. They're automatic. Photos, progress notes, any issues that came up and how we're handling them. You're never wondering what's happening.
Every choice we make traces back to a simple question: will this make the client's experience better?
That's why we build buffer time into schedules even though it makes us look slower on paper. It's why we use slightly more expensive materials when they'll last longer. It's why we respond to messages the same day instead of when we get around to it.
These aren't dramatic gestures. They're small decisions that compound into projects that actually finish on time, on budget, and without the usual renovation trauma.
We're not a massive company trying to run 50 projects simultaneously. We deliberately stay mid-sized so quality doesn't slip.
Each project gets a dedicated manager who coordinates everything. They're on-site regularly, accessible by phone, and accountable for keeping things moving.
Our electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and tilers are all fully qualified and insured. We verify credentials before anyone joins our team.
For clients who want input on aesthetics, we have designers who understand both style and practicality. They help translate Pinterest boards into buildable plans.
Since 2018, we've completed over 340 projects across residential renovation and interior design. Most of our new clients come from referrals, which tells you something about how past clients feel.
We maintain a 96% on-time completion rate and our average cost variance is under 3%. Those numbers matter because they represent the difference between smooth projects and stressful ones.
We're licensed, insured, and compliant with all Australian building regulations. Every project gets proper permits and inspections.
Not every client is right for us, and we're not right for everyone. But if you value transparency, quality work, and straightforward communication, we should talk.
Initial consultations are free and involve no pressure. We visit your home, discuss what you're thinking, and provide honest feedback about what's feasible.
