See how a renovation can transform a space
A home renovation is often easier to understand when you can see the transformation. This example from Gardens, Cape Town shows an outdoor area during construction and after completion, where an underused part of the property was reworked into a more practical, finished and usable space.
The renovation included:
- excavation and preparation work
- outdoor flooring and level changes
- improved access between inside and outside
- timber decking and exterior finishes
- outdoor seating and usable entertainment space
- final styling and finishing details
Why home renovation quotes can vary so much
Renovation quotes can differ widely because not every contractor is pricing the same scope. One quote may include demolition, rubble removal, waterproofing, plumbing changes, tiling, painting, project management and finishing details, while another may leave several of those items out or treat them as extras.
Before comparing prices, it is important to understand what is included, what is excluded and where allowances have been made. A cheaper quote is not always cheaper if key items are missing or if the project is not properly managed.
At BOMO, we aim to quote and communicate as clearly as possible so clients understand the scope before work begins. This is why we prefer to understand the scope properly before giving a final quote, rather than providing a rushed number that later changes during the project.
Our Home Renovation Process
Every renovation starts with understanding the scope properly. To keep the process efficient and transparent, BOMO usually begins with a remote project review and estimated quotation before arranging a site visit.
1
Send project details
You send us the project details, including the scope, property location, photos, videos, measurements where available and any reference images.
2
Scope review & design guidance
We review the information and may follow up with questions, a call, layout suggestions or finish considerations to better understand the project, budget range and timeline.
3
Estimated quotation
We prepare an estimated quotation so you can understand the likely project cost before arranging a site visit.
4
Site visit & final quote
If the estimate is in line with your expectations, we visit the property to confirm the scope, check practical details and finalise the quotation.
5
Coordination & renovation
Once approved, BOMO coordinates the trades, suppliers, site work and communication throughout the renovation.
6
Finishing & handover
We review the final details, manage snagging where needed and hand over the completed work as cleanly and professionally as possible.
Why work with BOMO for home renovations
BOMO is built for clients who want more than separate trades. We combine project management, construction, carpentry and interiors to help Cape Town property owners renovate with more structure, detail and confidence.
A managed renovation process
BOMO coordinates the trades, suppliers, timelines, site work and communication, so the renovation is managed as one process rather than a collection of separate tasks.
Everything under one roof
From building work and plumbing coordination to custom carpentry, cabinetry, finishes and interiors, BOMO brings the key parts of a renovation together under one team.
Practical design guidance
We look beyond the basic construction work to consider layout, finishes, materials, storage, lighting and the final feel of the space — so the result works practically and visually.
Property-minded advice
Whether it is a home, apartment or rental property, we help clients make practical renovation decisions that suit the property, the budget and the way the space will be used long term.
