Not yet open

For homes with work ahead.

For owners planning a renovation, and serious about the upkeep. Everything in the Archive, plus money put aside for the work, monthly, quarterly or at once, and your home’s story on the Atlas.

Essentials isn’t open yet. Register your interest and we will write when it opens; nothing is paid until then.

What Essentials adds

Everything in the Archive, and four things more.

Money ready for the work

Put money aside for your home, monthly, quarterly or at once. It is kept as working credits and spent only on invoices for work on your home.

  • You set the cadence; after the first year, top up as you like.
  • Nothing is spent without your say.
  • Every invoice drawn lands on your record.

First in line with trusted trades

Your brief goes to the front of a Network trade’s queue, so small jobs are done before they become big ones.

  • Your own trades stay welcome, as in the Archive.

Saving towards a plan

Name a renovation and put credits aside towards it, so the money is ready when the work is.

  • Credits set aside in name for a plan, shown beside it.
  • One balance: what you set aside stays part of your working credits, never counted twice.
  • Drawn as the plan's jobs are done, each invoice on your record.

The Atlas: your home’s film

A short film of your home’s transformation, put together from your renovation photos and recorded moments.

  • Every job on the map: what was done, where, when and by whom.
  • Before and after, from your photos, and from above where earlier aerials exist.
  • One tap to play, and easy to share with family.

Who it is built for

  • Owners planning a renovation in the next year or two.
  • Owners who would rather fix small things before they become big things.
  • Owners who want the money ready, and every invoice in one place.
  • “Small things became big things.”

  • “I was scared to call out a professional because last time they came out and charged me just to have a look. And nothing was fixed.”

The price

$395 a year

The same as the Archive, plus at least $17,250 of working credits in your first year, put aside on your cadence and held for you ($15,000 of work plus its GST).

For the owners whose homes the founding company has looked after, a founding offer for the first hundred: five years of the membership paid in advance at half price, $987.50 once.
