Trade: Tiler

You’d think choosing tiles for your kitchen, bathroom or laundry would be a difficult task, because we all know once you choose that colour everything else around it has to compliment it, unless you change your mind then well that’s a whole different story. But an even more difficult task would be tiling the floors and walls. So let’s talk about our skilful and in demand tilers, and how much they play a unique and vital role in the construction industry. Not only that lets think about the times when tiles have cracked during construction and how that would make our tilers feel. 


So what do our tilers do? A Tiler uses glue, grout and cement to lay ceramic, slate, marble and glass tiles either on the floors and or walls of kitchens, bathrooms, laundry’s, shops and restaurants. Tools such as tile-cutting tools and shape tiles are used to fill small edges or make specific or custom patterns requested by the customer. 


The things our tilers use and place on our floors and walls are tiles which are a thin plate of irregular shape made from fired clay, moulded concrete, ceramics or natural material, or a similar material. Placing tiles on the floors or walls can make the surface and area look more functional and nicer. 


Of course you’d have to have a licence before you undertake any residential building work. To be tiler in Australia you need to complete the vocational training program consisting of an apprenticeship and hands-on instruction. 


An important note to remember is that tilers can also deal with waterproofing. I mean you would want to make sure you get a tiler that knows how to deal with water leaks before tiling the surface. Otherwise you will be finding yourself in a sinking problem and a costly one too. 


 To all our Tilers; past and present we thank you for all your hard work.

If you're building a new home or planning a big renovation, you’ve probably heard the term ROI. But what does it really mean; and how can quality build help you make more in the long run? What is ROI? ROI stands for Return on Investment. It’s a way to measure how much profit you can make compared to how much money you spend. So as you know; The higher your ROI, the better your return. Why Quality Builds Matter At Inspiring Homes Pty Ltd, we believe quality isn’t just about looks but it is also about value. As we build with integrity we also build with care and better materials, and hence this increases your ROI. Here’s why: 1. Higher Property Value A strongly built home with great finishes stands out. Buyers are happy to pay more for a home that looks good and feels solid. 2. Fewer Ongoing Costs Good quality means less maintenance and fewer repairs later on. That saves you or the next owner money. 3. Better Energy Efficiency Homes that are built properly are more energy efficient. That means lower power bills and a big bonus when it comes to resale value. 4. More Buyer Confidence When buyers see quality, they feel confident. That can lead to faster sales and good offers. Invest Smart from the Start It might be tempting to go for cheaper options, but cutting corners often costs more later. Quality work adds real value and pays off over time. At Inspiring Homes, we help our clients build smarter by offering well designed, high-quality homes that give you better results, whether you’re planning to live for the long-term or planning to sell.

At Inspiring Homes, we know how overwhelming building a home can be, especially when you’re dealing with designers, consultants, and council approvals all at once. That’s why we offer a complete service where we look after the design, drawings, and approvals from the start. It takes a lot of pressure off you and helps the whole project run more smoothly. Here’s why: 1. It’s Easier and Less Stressful When we manage everything from the beginning, there’s no back and forth between different people. We communicate directly with everyone involved, so things move faster and nothing gets lost in translation. 2. Your Design Is Based on Your Budget Many times people spend over their budget because the related parties involved do not keep your budget in mind. However when we are involved early, we guide the design with your budget in mind, so you get what you want without any surprises. 3. We Know the Approval Process Dealing with council requirements, paperwork, and delays can be really frustrating if you haven’t done it before. We do it all the time and know exactly what’s needed. We take care of the documentation and submissions so you don’t have to. 4. No Confusion When the same builder who’s building your home is involved in the design, everything lines up better so there is no confusion, fewer changes, and fewer delays once construction starts. 5. You’re Working with Trusted People We work with experienced consultants, certifiers, and trades who we trust and use on all our jobs. You don’t have to go looking for people yourself. Letting your builder manage the design and approvals saves time, avoids going over budget and makes the process a lot easier. At Inspiring Homes, we build with integrity and we’re here to make your building journey smooth, stress free, and enjoyable, right from the start.
