SUPPORTING MERRI CREEK PRIMARY SCHOOL
SILENT AUCTION – MERRI CREEK PRIMARY SCHOOL FETE, 2023
BID YOUR WAY to an exclusive Kick Start Consultation with a local architect.
This Silent Auction offer is your opportunity to meet with an experienced residential architect – and get your home renovation off to a great start.
Do you want your home renovated before the kids are too old to enjoy your new home together?
Both of you work and life is busy: kids are at school, footy is on most weekends, netball and music on weekdays. Life (and your weeks) fill up quickly with the day-to-day and before you know it, you are at the end of another year and your home renovation still has not begun!
Life is too short – let’s not have your kids growing up before you renovate.
Let’s get your project going NOW!
Bid your way to a Kick Start Consultation with a true local residential expert NOW!
WHAT IS OUR KICK START CONSULTATION OFFER?
Cathi Colla Architects’ Kick Start Consultation has been created for a very lucky individual (or family) considering renovating and extending their inner city home.
This opportunity enables you to speak with a local residential renovation expert, and introduce you to the who, what, where, how, and how long it takes to renovate a home in the inner city.
This offer is a no obligation consultation with Cathi Colla Architects.
WHO IS THIS CONSULTATION FOR?
This Kick Start Consultation is for homeowners in the Merri Creek Primary School area* who are considering – or are already on the path towards – renovating, extending, or rebuilding their own home within the area.
* ‘Area’ is defined as within a 20km radius of Merri Creek Primary School.
Our Kick Start Consultation would suit an individual house, a terrace, townhouse, or apartment. We’d also be happy to discuss a multi-generation home.
WHO ISN’T THIS FOR?
We believe in supporting our local community. We believe in design that is fit for purpose, and architecture to enable a comfortable, healthy home for now, and for your future. If you are a developer, or are renovating for resale, then this is opportunity is not for you.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN OUR CONSULTATION?
We will discuss your primary project aspirations and preliminary brief, budget, project timing, and any barriers that might be in your way. Then we will discuss some creative possibilities, as well as other likely Planning and Building restrictions that might apply to your site, and a likely timeline. Ideas and sketches are likely to result from this discussion.
Our Kick Start Consultation is intended to occur at your home**, so that we can meet with you – the decision maker(s) – as well as to meet your home. If you do not wish to meet there, our Kick Start Consultation can alternatively be hosted at our studio.
This Kick Start Consultation will take 1.5 – 2 hours.
**Note: We would be open to consult on an alternative property, such as a holiday home. In this case, we would defer to information supplied by you (or readily available online). Such a meeting will occur at our studio.
WHAT YOU WON’T RECEIVE IN THIS CONSULTATION
This is not an inspection service. This Consultation is an introductory offer only. Cathi Colla Architects cannot provide, or be expected to provide, review or advice on the condition of your home.
Our Kick Start Consultation does not provide advice on construction cost(s), or timing. Any advice will require verification via consultation with Cathi Colla Architects (and/or their preferred consultants) undertaken under a formal Client and Architect Agreement.
HOW MUCH IS THIS CONSULTATION WORTH?
Well – how valuable is your time?
We understand that your life is hectic. We recognise that a renovation project is massive undertaking.
We respect your time – and we don’t want to waste it.
Let’s not have the kids growing up before you renovate. Let’s get your project going NOW!

YOUR LOCAL ARCHITECT –
Designing for locals and our community for over 20 years
Cathi Colla has been designing, documenting, and building home renovations and extensions in the Fitzroy North, and inner northern suburbs, for over 25 years. That means Cathi has been problem solving, negotiating with local Planning and Building Authorities, as well as building a strong network of consultants, builders, and subcontractors for the same time.
Cathi Colla is also a Fitzroy North local. She, and family, have been living, working, schooling and playing in the area for over 20 years. Cathi has also been down the renovation path herself recreating a draughty, leaky, shambles of a shack (just down the road from Merri Creek Primary School and in a Heritage area) into a comfortable urban oasis. It is now a contemporary home full of light and character. It is warm in winter, cool in summer, and we love it.
This is your opportunity to meet Cathi to discuss your own specific project aspirations and challenges.
Let’s Kick Start your project with your best renovation step forward, and moving in the right direction.
