Project journey
You just got your first apartment
First place, first budget, and a lot of advice flying around. The goal isn't the fanciest fit-out — it's durable, right-sized choices that still look good, so your money goes where it actually matters.
The questions running through your head
- Where should I spend, and where can I save?
- Is aluminium worth it for a small apartment?
- What's the difference between the price tiers?
- What do first-time renovators get wrong?
Spend on the two rooms you use daily
- Kitchen and wardrobes take the most wear — invest there first
- Match the wet zone to aluminium/ACP so a leak is far less likely to mean a rebuild
- Everything else can be phased once you've lived in the space
Understand what the tiers actually change
Cheaper isn't automatically worse and pricier isn't automatically better — it depends on the zone and how hard you'll use it. The tier guide explains what really changes between them.
- Read the tier and cost guides before you commit
- Then get your real range from the 2-minute tool
