Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

About
Hi, I’m Jodie, Welcome to Jodie Carter Design. This is my passion project, serving clients, designing and guiding through complex renovations to achieve amazing results. My mission is always to delight and make coming home the best part of your day. Clients come to me when family needs change & their home doesn’t work in its current configuration. Décor is dated & maintenance is a problem. Perhaps your plans are approved but you don’t know where to start. Or you didn’t use a designer in a prior renovation & experienced the stress of decision making, mistakes & unreliable trades whilst blowing budgets & timelines vowing ‘never again’. If your busy with work, staff, family & juggling a multitude of other responsibilities & want the job done right, then I’m your designer. I partner exclusively with a talented team of trades & suppliers. They are incredibly important to the success of your project. Their passion, professionalism and dedication guarantees we can design & implement your picture perfect home with every detail covered, decision made & costed. Why I do what I do? I have always loved design, early memories of visiting art galleries & historic homes with my Gran as a child are still vivid. I will never forget the first truly amazing country home I visited with her. The massive front door was opened revealing a grand entry with black & white marble floors & a huge timber staircase with carpet runner. I knew I was somewhere special. There were Deer heads on the wall, coat racks & gumboots, high ceilings & timber panelling. It was a little scary, but so grand & I loved it. I began to think more about homes, the feelings they evoke, what they say about the people who live there. Being surrounded by history, stories and memories. I bought my first home in New Zealand at 17 & began the life long love affair. I do what I do because I cannot imagine ever doing anything else. I’m about to start my 6th renovation project myself, the largest to date & its got timber panelling, a grand entry & arches! I can’t wait. How do my clients feel after a project? Having ongoing relationships & repeat business with clients I know they feel at home and at peace, proud to entertain and show off their home hosting Christmas and Parties. Its beautiful, things just work, the kitchen is perfect, family movie night is better than ever, they sleep better & the clutter is gone. We thought of everything and we implemented everything. Are you ready to start your project?

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
Trade and building licensing in Australia is set by each state or territory. Check the relevant regulator (e.g. NSW Fair Trading, QBCC in Queensland, VBA in Victoria) that the contractor holds a current licence for the work type and value before you hire.
For larger residential building work, confirm the contractor carries the home-building / domestic-building insurance your state requires before you pay a deposit. It is what protects you if the work is left unfinished or defective.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
