This could be an unused room, lawn locker or garage. Give them a key so that they know their tools are safe when they are off site. One way to save is to provide your tradesfolk with a locked space they can securely store their tools in. 2. CLEAN THE SITE A dirty site slows work down. It also costs money. Paying your tradie to clean is hardly where you want to be investing your budget. Pitch in and get active. Simply picking up rubbish and sweeping every few days can make a world of difference to the pace of work, efficiency and safety. Paying your tradie to clean is hardly where you want to be investing your budget. 3. BE THE SITE PA The more time your tradies spend on the phone, the less time they are on the tools.

Theres plenty of ways you can help your tradie and reduce costs. Picture: iStock GOOD tradespeople are worth their weight in gold. When renovating, an expert tradie can truly make all the difference in coming in or above budget.

One great way to save on this one-hour task is to provide your tradesfolk with a locked space on site that they can securely There are obviously many things your tradies wont be able to delegate to you, but youll be amazed how many little jobs you can take off their hands (and how grateful they often are). 4. GET DIRTY There are a lot of jobs during a home improvement project that can be done by even the most unskilled renovator, like digging holes and moving dirt. So roll up those sleeves and give it a go. Obviously its essential to listen to your tradies and work within the workplace health and safety boundaries (which they will be able to guide you on), but in most cases you will find your team will welcome the extra help. There are a lot of jobs during a home improvement project that can be done by even the most unskilled renovator.
