Meet the Big Boss
We sat down on a Friday afternoon with AAG Project Manager and Director Adam Gabay himself, to learn a bit more about the greatest lessons he has learned from the building industry this far and a few random facts about the big boss himself.
Glazing and Thermal Performance
New doors and windows are often the highlight of any new renovation or addition. They offer the ability to integrate the inside of your home with the outside. A set of bifold doors or sliding doors are a fantastic feature to any new open plan living space, and can help create a large space for entertaining and summer time activities.
Storage Inspiration for Your New Bedroom
A home renovation or new build presents the ideal opportunity to take a good look at your bedroom storage and the contents of your wardrobe, with the end-goal being to create built-in storage perfectly tailored to you and your belongings so you can achieve storage nirvana; a place for everything!
3 Great Ideas for Customising Your Bathroom
The bathroom is one of the most used spaces in the house but often doesn’t get the same attention as living rooms and bedrooms when it comes to styling. Sure, it would be easy to add a pot plant and some candles to make it your own, but if you really want to customise your bathroom, start with your vanity or cabinets.
Yes! While you may have not thought much about these features during your bathroom renovation, your vanity and cabinets can actually make the world of difference to the style and functionality of your room; so it’s important to spend as much time choosing them as you would your tiles or tapware.
Home Improvement: 5 Rules for Flipping Houses
Flipping houses has become increasingly popular over the past decade and something that many people are drawn to as a quick and easy way to make a bit (or a lot) of extra cash. While there certainly is money to be made, there is great risk involved and potentially disastrous outcomes for those who have not prepared properly. Doing your research well ahead of time could at the very least save you heartbreak and at the very most make you a small fortune, so here are our top tips for what to consider and where to begin (and who better to take advice from than a builder himself).
New Home Builders Sydney: How to hold onto that New Home Feeling
There is no feeling like moving in to your newly renovated home. Like that “new car” smell, a fresh renovation can quite literally, give you a new lease on life. The space that you come home to at the end of each day can change your mood, energy and is an important place that has a major impact on our mental health. But how long can you make this last once the dog has settled in to the new couch, and the kids have left peanut butter finger smears on your new white v groove wall? We understand the importance of balancing that glorious new home feeling with the reality of creating a “home”.

How to Choose a Floor Plan
If you are one of the fortunate people who get to design your new home floor plan from scratch, take a moment (yes, right now) to take a breath and simply relish in the excitement of it all. Throughout the works, you can expect there to be some stressful times; particularly around making decisions with your significant other and perhaps some things not going exactly to plan (no matter how experienced your project manager or architect is, there will always be unexpected challenges). Try to remember in these moments, just how fortunate you are to be having this experience. You have worked hard for this privilege, so you may as well enjoy the process as much as the end result.
What to look out for when Buying a Building Block
Building your own home is one of those special moments in life that you might only get once; like getting married or having your first child, building your own home is a pretty big deal. If you have found yourself in the fortunate position of seeking land to build a home on, finding the perfect block is everything. While each individual will have personal preferences and specific items on their checklist of what their ideal building block must include, there are a few things to keep in mind before jumping into buying your property.
10 Ways to Build an Eco-Friendly House
The building industry is a big and beautiful beast, but it has a significant impact on the environment. The materials, land and energy used in new builds and home renovations have a direct impact on greenhouse gas emissions. At AAG Constructions, we are passionate about preserving the environment for future generations and are mindful of the impact our work has on our fragile environment. It is not a reason to avoid a renovation or build, but it is a reason to make sure that you and your construction team (builder/architect/engineer) are on the lookout for the most sustainable materials and techniques to reduce the impact on the environment and build an environmentally friendly home.
Here are some of our top tips for making your build a little greener:
