Smith & Sons Albany T T Karen Phelps BUILDING Smith & Sons Albany is a team committed to excellence and attention to detail as it transforms clients’ homes, says company owner Jacob McCormick. The company specialises in renovation projects from design to completion. “The wealth of knowledge and expertise in our team ensures that every project reaches the highest levels of quality, delivered on time and on budget.” Jacob, a seasoned builder with a decade of experience, began his career in residential construction, where he built a solid foundation of skills and a reputation for delivering quality work. His commitment to high-quality craftsmanship and keen attention to detail soon led him to explore the world of commercial project management, where he gained valuable insights and expanded his expertise. However as his true passion lay in transforming homes in the residential sector this led him to take on the Smith & Sons Albany franchise. The company tackles a range of renovation projects including design and build, additions, alterations, bathroom and kitchen renovations, adding a storey, basement, loft or garage conversions, decks and outdoor spaces, total home makeovers and commercial fit outs. One of Jacob’s core principles is providing top-quality service to his clients. From the initial sales meeting to the design phase and ultimately the completion of the project, Jacob and his team prioritise clear communication, collaboration, and attention to detail. “We work with clients on their project from start to finish,” explains Jacob. “By bringing in our team early this means people don’t waste time or money on costly plans and consents that they later discover are not within their budget.” The design and build process used by the team at Smith & Sons Albany launches with a discussion around budget which is then followed by design and consents. It even has an in-house designer to assist clients in bringing their visions to life. Detailed cost estimates are provided which may then be reallocated to best suit the client’s renovation requirements. Once the design stage is completed, the client is assigned a project manager. The project manager organises the paperwork including consents, brings in reliable and qualified tradespeople at each stage of the renovation process, monitors quality control of all work completed by all tradespeople, all while keeping the client fully up to date on any developments. A current project that perfectly exemplifies the company’s dedication to turning dreams into reality is the couple’s own home. They are expecting a baby and the team is busy adding an addition and completing a full internal renovation to create the perfect home to welcome their child. Another notable project involved a complete transformation of a 1960s house. Smith & Sons Albany tackled this dated home with internal walls and archways, opening up the space to create a modern, open-plan design. Smith & Sons Albany was there from the start, managing the design process and working closely with the clients to ensure their budget and vision were aligned.
