Our Proud Partners

7 years, and they've never missed the mark...

As a boutique high end architectural builder, I have built my reputation on fine finishes and working to a tight timetable. We expect this of all our subbies as well as our team. Working with Improva over the last 7 years, they have filled this criteria to perfection. It is always great working with this team. They are clean, detailed, accurate and on time. What we love. I would highly recommend Improva to any future clients.

Outstanding consulting from inception to completion…

IMPROVA have provided outstanding joinery consulting support across project inception, cost control, value engineering and quality control. Their ability to manage details while confidently supporting client discussions has been invaluable. They’ve given us a level of control and peace of mind that genuinely improves project outcomes.

I'm so overwhelmed with the quality of their work…

Joinery is my big bug bear of mine and it makes or breaks a job, and I was nervous at the start using you as a new supplier... now I wish I could give you a big hug and a gold star! I’m so overwhelmed with the quality of your work - thrilled to bits! Part of me now wants you to be a secret so my peers wonder how I do such brilliant work!

Gorgeous design, on budget and on time…

7 Key Benefits That Make Our Services Stand Out

With a focus on quality, communication and strict timeline adherence, we’ve designed our services to make your projects more efficient, cost-effective and stress free. Here’s how we stand apart:

Comprehensive Tendering

Quality Assurance

Our service includes comprehensive defect inspections and quality control checks upon installation, saving you time and effort.

With Improva, you can trust that the joinery in your project is in expert hands. We’re with you every step of the way – matching you with Joiners who will complement your team and deliver results that exceed your expectations.

While you focus on your core expertise, we take care of:

  • Providing a comprehensive market comparison
  • Making detailed recommendations detailing a breakdown of costs, inclusions, and exclusions

One of the key advantages of our model is that this service is free to you. Our suppliers recognise the value we bring to their business through services such as marketing, lead generation, client communication, and project oversight, and our compensation is structured accordingly.

As your joinery consultants, we collaborate with the joiner throughout every aspect of the process. We attend check measures, review production plans, and coordinate quality control sign-off upon installation.

We can also source additional specialists when needed, including stonemasons, metal fabricators and splashback suppliers.

We become your single point of contact, streamlining communication with all suppliers. You’ll be fully informed on progress and installation dates, with the comfort of knowing an extra pair of expert eyes is overseeing this crucial work. We also conduct post-installation site visits to ensure exceptional results. Should any maintenance be required, we’ll keep our recommended suppliers accountable to ensure it’s promptly addressed.

Joinery Care Service

Like any product with moving parts, joinery requires annual preventative maintenance to optimise performance, longevity, safety, and product warranties.

Our Joinery Care service provides expert annual servicing of all joinery in your client’s home. Our technicians meticulously realign doors, drawers, and adjust hinges, runners, and hardware to ensure flawless operation during scheduled maintenance visits.

By identifying and addressing potential issues and deterioration before they require costly repairs, we help to keep your client’s joinery investment looking and functioning like new for years.

Choose Your Plan

CAD & Interior Design

Our design service is ideal for Builders without an Architect or Designer involved. We provide comprehensive coverage of all interior elements with a focus on practical space planning and joinery design.

Whether you need complete CAD Design or Interior Design to specify hard finishes, we create spaces tailored to your clients’ needs. Using professional 3D rendering software, we deliver detailed visual representations, so you can see the end result before the renovation begins.

We begin by understanding your client’s style and vision, and then we develop comprehensive designs that maximise both functionality and aesthetics.

If council approval is needed, we’ll connect you with our trusted network of architects, building designers and draftsmen.

For clients who have engaged our services and need assistance specifying hard finishes, we offer an Interior Design package to complement our CAD service, ensuring a beautiful, functional outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

We manage the entire joinery and stonework process from start to finish, ensuring timelines are met and the finished work meets the high standards we all expect. You’ll work with the same dedicated Improva team throughout all your projects, with all communication flowing through us as your single point of contact. This ensures consistency and frees up your time to focus on what you do best.

Improva predominantly manages architecturally designed projects, with the flexibility to assist our partners on smaller scopes when needed. Our expertise spans kitchens, bathrooms, built-in storage, and bespoke joinery solutions across residential and commercial applications.

We eliminate the time-consuming process of sourcing reliable suppliers, managing multiple quotes, and deciphering what’s actually included in each proposal. Instead of chasing joiners for quotes, managing inconsistent communication, and dealing with timeline delays, you simply deal with us. We’re your one-stop solution with the flexibility to meet when you’re available, not when suppliers dictate.

Kitchen and bathroom companies can only sell you what they have on offer. Improva is different because we’re an independent consultancy team dedicated to finding and connecting you with the perfect team for your specific project. We’re not trying to sell you products – we’re selling expertise and connections to ensure you get exactly what you need from the right supplier.

Our supplier selection is rigorous and thorough. An experienced team member with years of joinery expertise conducts initial vetting, including factory visits and observing actual installations. Suppliers who pass this assessment then undergo additional vetting by Blake Riley, including comprehensive discussions about their processes and capabilities. Only approved suppliers receive our certificate of approval, ensuring you work with the best in the industry.

There’s an excellent chance you’ll pay less by working with us. Our role is ensuring you get value for money – no one takes advantage of you on our watch. We source and analyse quotes, negotiate with suppliers, and leverage our relationships to secure better pricing than you could achieve independently. Our suppliers offer competitive pricing because we make their lives easier, provide repeat business, and help them save on marketing costs and time.

Yes, value engineering is a core part of our service offering. We transform your joinery design process by analysing your designs to provide accurate cost estimates and identify strategic opportunities for value engineering savings without compromising quality or design integrity.

You’ll receive detailed value engineering options that help you present clients with informed choices, maximising budget efficiency while maintaining exceptional results. This streamlined process saves you time and ensures every project is optimised for both aesthetics and commercial viability.

This service is complimentary when you engage one of our approved joiners for your project. We also offer this as a paid service for those who prefer to work with their own suppliers.

While we serve as your main point of contact and manage all joinery-related communication, it’s important to note that trades like plumbers and electricians are managed by the builder. We focus on what we do best – coordinating the joinery and stonework.

Quality is non-negotiable. A member of our team conducts comprehensive defect inspections and quality control checks after joinery installation. Any issues requiring attention are immediately coordinated with the supplier for resolution. We don’t let defects slide – your project isn’t complete until it meets our quality standards.

Are you a joiner who is ready to take your business to the next level?

We’re always looking for exceptional joiners who share our commitment to quality and reliability, so if you’re interested in joining our network of Improva certified suppliers, get in touch. Please note that we maintain strict standards through our comprehensive vetting and onboarding process.
