Ditch budget blow-outs and know exactly what your reno or build will cost.
Most renovators fall in the trap of guesstimating. You can completely avoid this and accurately know what your renovation will cost
Budget blow-outs happen because people missed key trades, materials, or small extras that really add up fast. Or because they choose products at the start of their project, without having a clear picture of all the costs that are to come.
That’s exactly why we created the Budget Tracker.
It comes pre-loaded with every trade, product + supplier — so you know what to include in your budget and don’t miss a thing. There’s no second-guessing. Plan renovation costs with confidence from day one.
Plan one room at a time or your whole home at once — your budget tracker has the flexibility to work how want to.
Why it works:
✔️ No guesswork — know exactly what costs to allow for, room by room
✔️ Pre-loaded categories — every trade, product + supplier your project will need
✔️ Track spend in real time — compare what you planned vs what you’re actually spending
✔️ Quick-start estimates — calculate total renovation costs in minutes
✔️ Customisable — works whether you're planning one bathroom or an entire home
✔️ Built-in contingency + quote tracking — so nothing slips through the cracks
✔️ Use it again and again — perfect for this project and future renos
It’s for you if:
➡️ You don’t know what your project will actually cost
➡️ You’ve started planning but feel like costs are getting out of control
➡️ You want to avoid budget blowouts and know exactly what you’re in for
➡️ You’re juggling quotes and need one place to track everything
➡️ You want total clarity — not chaos and cost surprises
Use your budget tool your way and get a full cost breakdown of your project in minutes, with every dollar tracked from start to finish.

If you’ve ever upgraded an outdated appliance, you’ll know the feeling of gaining back time and sanity with the efficiency of a Smart technology upgrade. We’re talking appliances that do the thinking for you, remote operation with an app and voice activation…and that doesn’t even scratch the surface.
Don’t believe it’s possible? We road-tested the new LG Front Load Washing Machine and the results and features speak for themselves. So what should you expect when you’re ready for a washing machine upgrade? These are a few of our favourite things…

Hey Google “Start Washing My Clothes”
If you think we’re kidding you’d be mistaken. LG Smart ThinQ® technology means there’s a range of Google voice commands so you can do everything from starting and stopping a cycle to checking the status or time left on your washer. So in theory, you can check how much time’s left until your kids need to empty the washing machine, whilst sitting on the couch eating cake. Just saying…
Remote Start
Even if you’re not technology savvy, you’ll appreciate LG’s ThinQ® app which gives you the power to start and monitor the progress of your wash while you’re on the go. Want the washing cycle to finish as you get home from work, no worries - switch it on as you’re leaving the office. Now that’s impressive.

The Power of Steam
Our home like many has allergy sufferers to consider when choosing any home materials or appliances. No stress, LG’s got that covered too. Allergy Care and Steam cycles utilise the natural power of steam to reduce allergens such as dust mites, bacteria and pollen, removing up to 99.99% of Allergens. Now that’s great news and peace of mind for the health of your family. What’s more, as steam softens your clothes fibres, it can also help remove wrinkles #yespleaseandthankyou
Pause and Add
A common complaint with front loaders is the inability to add items once the cycle has started. Well, that’s no longer an issue with LG’s ‘Pause and Add’ feature. You can now eliminate washing first-world problems and add items mid-cycle. Pure genius right?

6 motions are better than 1
The new range of LG washers uses a combination of 6 motions to thoroughly wash your clothes. Based on hand washing, these motions offer an outstanding wash, whilst caring for your clothes. Oh and we’ve actually tested the Hand/Wool cycle on our most intolerant and sensitive outfits…and it’s safe to say that in our house, traditional hand-washing is a thing of the past.
Intelligent Fabric Care
The LG new AI Direct-Drive assesses your load for weight and softness and then selects the best option to ensure a thorough clean with reduced clothing wear. Finally, a foolproof washing machine that looks after your favourite delicates.
So when it comes to functionality, convenience and efficiency, the LG new range of washing machines seems to tick every imaginable box. Paired here with the LG 8kg Heat Pump Condenser Dryer, it also looks super stylish doing so! So what do you think? Is your washing machine as smart as ours?
