Bay homeowners are splurging on renovations spending up to $1 million gutting their house with some tradies struggling to meet demand. Overseas travel budgets were also being used to fund projects and experts in the industry say they are flat out busy as people look to add value to their properties - or remodel outdated kitchens and bathrooms.
One company expected this year could be its biggest ever as people elected to spend money saved for overseas travel on home renovation projects.
