Home renovation is an exciting endeavour, that is until you start to do the math. Now more than ever, the hefty price tags on everything from building materials to furniture are causing people to rethink their dream renovations.
The traditional route for renovators has been to approach trade companies for free, fixed-price quotes. They get three quotes from three companies, and choose either the cheapest, or the one that comes from the sharpest sales guy. Choosing the cheapest quote doesn't mean you have found the cheapest option. There's a more cost-effective alternative to make improvements on your home; The Whala Way.
Transparent, fixed hourly rates.
When a trade company comes to quote a job, they need to work on a worst-case scenario. They need to allow for anything and everything that could go wrong. Most jobs run smoothly, and the extra allowance goes into the companies bank account.
Whala Pro's work on fixed hourly rates, and you'll only ever be charged for the time that your project actually required. A trade companies 'fixed price' is usually a Whala Pro's absolute worst case.
Cost-price material promise.
The Whala way will save you more than just the labour component of your project. Trade companies add margins to products at their discretion, inflating overall costs. Whala Pros, on the other hand, charge cost-price for materials. This approach can lead to substantial savings, reinforcing Whala's commitment to affordable home renovation on the Sunshine Coast.
Unmatched flexibility.
Flexibility is at the core of Whala's offering. Whala customers have the freedom to schedule work across different days and weeks, and they can break up projects and book specific services for the time they need. Most trade companies would try to avoid working this way, and are usually very rigid in their terms. Whala's flexibility makes affordable home renovation on the Sunshine Coast a breeze.
The unexpected elements.
In most instances of something unexpected popping up on a job, a trade company will charge what's called a variation. This is basically an additional cost to cover something that was not allowed for inside of their original scope of work.. even if it was. A customers options are limited as the job has started and obviously needs to be finished!
Whala Pros always work efficiently, and unexpected circumstances result in only minor extra costs, charged at the same fixed hourly rate.
Case Study
Project Brief:
Outdoor shower installation in Mooloolaba.
Cheapest Trade Quote:
The cheapest price the customer received was $1,480.00 for supply and installation of the shower.
The Whala Way:
The customer booked a Whala Pro plumber for 4 hours at a total cost of $480.00. The materials required for the outdoor shower were $300.00.
The Result:
The customer was able to save $700.00 to get the exact same outcome. Not only that, they booked the plumber less than 24 hours before he came to perform the work!
Whala's impact on costs.
Customers are saving an average of 40% on their projects using Whala, when compared to fixed-price quotes received from trade companies. The traditional “free quote” from tradies is never free. Their time is more than paid for with the inflated time estimations and margins on products and materials.
Whala's transparent, flexible, and customer-centric approach is changing the way we renovate on the Sunshine Coast. This innovative approach to home modification offers substantial savings and convenience, without compromising on quality.
From transparent billing to unmatched flexibility, the Whala way ensures that your home renovation project remains within a reasonable budget.
