Renovation Consultant – Renovation & Extension Advisory

Are you passionate about home design and helping homeowners successfully renovate or extend their properties? Do you have a strong background in the building industry and a knack for providing expert advice?

We’re looking for a Client Advocate to join our independent building advisory company. This is a consultative sales role, requiring a combination of relationship-building, industry knowledge, and advisory expertise.

About Us

We are an independent building advisory company with extensive experience in the renovation and extension industry. Our mission is to empower homeowners by guiding them through the complexities of renovating or extending their homes, ensuring they make informed decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and connect with the best builders for their needs.

Unlike traditional builders or designers, we work exclusively for the client, helping them navigate the entire process from initial planning to completion. We provide unbiased advice and support, giving homeowners the confidence to achieve their dream renovation while reducing stress.

We pride ourselves on a flexible and supportive work environment, offering part-time and full-time roles that suit experienced professionals looking for more autonomy and flexible hours.

About the Role

As a Client Advocate, you’ll work directly with homeowners looking to renovate or extend their existing homes. Some projects may also involve demolitions and new builds, but your primary focus will be on renovations and extensions. Your role is to advise them on best methods, guide them through the process—from initial design discussions to budgeting and builder selection—ensuring they achieve their dream home with the right professionals. You’ll oversee projects from concept to key handover, acting as the client’s trusted advisor.

• Renovation & Extension Focus: While we also assist clients with new builds, your primary focus will be on renovations and extensions.
• Flexible Work Options: Full-time or part-time hours available. We welcome parents returning to the workforce who prefer a few days a week. Work around client availability, including some after-hours and weekend meetings if required.
• Work Autonomously: You have the flexibility to work from home, in the office (Home Base, Subiaco), at display homes, or visit clients' homes (within a 20km radius of Perth).
• Commission-Based Role: This is a commission-only contractor role. Leads will be provided, and high performers can expect to earn $200K-$250K per year.

Key Responsibilities

• Client Engagement: Communicate with clients professionally via phone, email, and in-person meetings.
• Advisory Role: Provide expert, honest advice on design feasibility, costs, and builder selection, with a strong focus on renovations and extensions.
• Project Oversight: Ensure the project stays on track and meets client expectations.
• Professional Presence: Dress in semi-formal attire for all client meetings.
• Flexible Work Hours: Work around client availability, including after hours when needed.

About You

To excel in this role, you must be:

• Excellent at Client Communication – Confident in discussing projects over the phone and in person.
• Sales-Oriented – A background in sales is preferred but not essential.
• Self-Motivated & Autonomous – Able to manage your schedule and client interactions independently.
• Passionate About Home Design – A strong understanding of renovation and extension projects, including trends, materials, and building processes.
• Flexible & Mobile – Must have a laptop, phone and a car for site visits.

Experience & Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of experience in the building industry (e.g., renovation/extension design, architecture, interior design, senior drafting, renovation/extension consultancy/sales, or similar).
• Strong interpersonal skills with a natural ability to build rapport and offer constructive advice.

Why Join Us?

We provide:

• In-house training to support your success.
