About The Reno. Edit

Most homeowners discover the reality of renovating only once they are already in the middle of it. I learnt that firsthand.

I am Amy, founder of The Reno. Edit, and I began my renovation journey the same way many people do. I had a vision, a budget, and very little understanding of what actually happens behind the scenes of a successful renovation. I made mistakes, learnt quickly, and realised early on that the outcome of a renovation is shaped long before any building work begins.

Over the last few years, I have spent a significant amount of time working closely within the renovation process, gaining practical, hands-on experience in planning, budgeting, coordinating trades, and understanding the sequencing and decision making that make or break a project. Through this work, I learnt how renovations operate behind the scenes and what homeowners genuinely need in order to stay organised, confident, and in control.

Working with numerous trades taught me how essential communication, clarity, and timely decisions are. When these elements are missing, even simple tasks can escalate into costly delays. I also saw how easily homeowners can become overwhelmed or unintentionally difficult to work with, simply because they do not understand how their decisions impact timelines on site.

My background in buying and creative direction helped me approach the process with structure and attention to detail, and working closely with my partner, who has extensive experience in project management and construction, gave me further insight into how projects run from the builder’s perspective. This shaped the way I plan, organise, and communicate throughout each stage.

To stay in control of my own renovations, I began creating tools to support every part of the process. These started as simple checklists and trackers but grew into a complete system that helped me plan better, reduce overwhelm, and avoid unnecessary cost. When friends and family began using them for their own projects, the response was always the same. This makes everything clearer and more manageable.

That is how The Reno. Edit began.

Today, every guide and worksheet is designed to give homeowners a calm, structured way to plan their renovation so they can make confident decisions, avoid costly surprises, and stay in control from day one. No jargon. No overwhelm. Just practical, proven frameworks built from real experience.
