We have built Revive Projects primarily on our excellent word-of-mouth reputation and because we strive to leave our clients delighted. We know that every renovation is stressful and that things don’t go 100% as they are planned.

A few of our happy clients

Revive Projects expertly renovated our home in Upper Claremont in 2011. Their quote was the most fitting, and we appreciated their open costing approach. Their cost estimates were accurate, except for a kitchen upgrade my wife decided on. Revive excelled in design and effectively managed interactions with builders, ensuring a smooth customer experience. We are highly satisfied and would gladly engage Revive Projects again.

I would like to give a special mention to Cindy Lindsay from @ Revive Projects. Cindy was the project manager on what started of as a small home renovation and turned into something a lot bigger (doesn’t it always?!?:)) Cindy handled EVERYTHING for us, with efficiency, flair and creativity. From tiles to stacking doors, sanware to skylights, Cindy will get it done for you. She has the BEST contacts in the business, and she will find the right person - tiler, painter, carpenter, electrician and more - for the job. Her keen eye for detail and her can-do-attitude are the best things about working with Cindy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Revive Projects for any reno job, no matter how big or small. Give her a shout!

We bought an old (1901) Victorian house in Tamboerskloof in 2008 and planning the renovation, waiting for Council approval and finding the right building team took 2 years. We finally went ahead with the project in May 2010 and it was completed in October 2010. Cindy from Revive Projects was recommended to us as a Project Manager via word of mouth. No problem was insurmountable under her guidance and she always had workable ideas on how to solve issues that cropped up. Cindy was constantly on site, working really closely with her teams every step of the way. Cindy has unbounded energy and enthusiasm and is completely a “can do” person. She visited the site every day and was always there to discuss the next step or current process with us. The renovation on our house was quite extensive. We replastered almost the entire interior and exterior of the house, re-painted everything, re-wired the electricals, put Coprox plaster onto the patios with Victorian tiling, completely renovated the kitchen, completely renovated 2 bathrooms and completely renovated our loft into a liveable room with an en-suite bathroom. Revive also installed a swimming pool and we re-landscaped the garden. Cindy worked with her own teams of builders and carpenters which makes the process comfortable because one is familiar with contractors in person rather than having new people on the premises every day. Her choice of Electrical, Plumbing, Kitchen Companies and Pool suppliers were incredibly reliable and well-priced. Although we sourced all the bathroom fittings and finishings, windows and doors ourselves, Cindy would have been more than capable of sourcing all of these additional items as well as all lighting should that have been required. Overall, we could not have been luckier to have Revive Projects breathe new life into our home in Bath Street. Thank you once again.
