The Sunday Age described the book as “exhaustive but user-friendly” and “recommended for anyone considering renovation.” Archicentre Managing Director Robert Caulfield described The Renovator’s Survival Guide as an “enlightening and entertaining book which gives a first hand look at some nightmares and how they could have been avoided.” In her talk on kitchen renovation Amanda will outline not only some key design tips, but also some of the construction essentials.
