EXPERIENCE THE
SMITH & SONS
REMODELING EXPERTS
FAMILY
Teams and a team spirit are critical to
business success. However, here at Smith
& Sons, we take it one step further and we
call it ‘family’. We treat everyone as if they
are a guest in our own home. We may be
one of the largest remodeling businesses
around but believe us; this is nothing like a
corporate business - no one gets labeled by
a number. The longer you’re with the family,
the more you get that special feeling of
belonging to an exceptional group of people.
We know that our success is derived from
the success of each Master Franchisee,
and we therefore place a great deal of
importance in selecting the right people that
we feel would fit into our family.
We’re about giving our Master Franchisees
the brand name, marketing products,
business tools, business systems, business
training, and support that allows the small
home renovator to compete with the much
larger local, state and national operations.

HAD ENOUGH OF
Smith & Sons originated from the consistent
enquires that G.J. Gardner Homes received in
regards to carrying out remodels. In an industry
that lacked professionalism and complete customer
service, the directors of G.J. Gardner Homes saw
the opportunity to create a remodeling company
that could deliver those qualities and more to home
and commercial remodelers.
2008 saw the conception of Smith & Sons, with
directors Corey Passey, Darren Wallis and Greg
Gardner at the helm. The first Smith & Sons office
opened in March of that year, and within 7 years,
there were 90 franchisees operating.
The Smith & Sons teams quickly became well known
for their prominent Design Centre’s, distinctive
vehicles and most importantly outstanding
customer service. Within weeks of opening,
offices were inundated with enquiry in what many
considered a global recession, and each month more
offices were added to Smith & Sons.
With a company culture of excellence, team spirit,
hard work and enjoying life, Smith & Sons has raced to
the front of the remodeling industry, and has already
forged successful and long lasting business and client
relationships. The next few years look to be a great
ride for all involved with the Smith & Sons team.

THE BENEFITS OF
JOINING WITH
SMITH & SONS
As a Master Franchisee, the following are the
benefits you offer your Franchisees.
BUYING POWER
Preferred Supplier Agreements
It is no secret that the bigger you get, the more
influence you can have on buying power from
preferred suppliers. Smith & Sons is committed
to building and maintaining lasting relationships
with quality suppliers who will service the entire
Smith & Sons Team.
ADVERTISING
DELIVERY
Advertising is delivered onto the market at both
national and local levels. Smith & Sons ensure
the most current marketing and advertising
trends are employed, yet Franchisees still have
a level of creativity in creating advertisements
which apply to their local area. Advertisements
and marketing are directed both at branding and
retail in the appropriate areas and within the
current campaign. So as a Franchisee, one can
benefit from effective, up to date, national and
local brand recognition and retail advertising.
WEBSITE
Digital Marketing Strategies
Smith & Sons Renovations & Extensions have
developed an effective web strategy including
websites built to best practice guidelines, SEO,
SEM and social media platforms. The bulk of
all renovation enquiry now comes from the
digital space so Smith & Sons place a heavy
emphasis on this. Please view the Website at
www.smith-sons.com.au Behind the Website is a
comprehensive intranet Franchisees use to share
both management and marketing material.
PASSIVE INCOME
Many builders feel they have to do everything in
their business. They try to be all things to all people.
Joining Smith & Sons means we put systems and
procedures in place so that the Franchisee’s
time is used to their best advantage. We ensure
that people (both the staff and Franchisee)
are trained in our systems so the office runs
effectively and efficiently.
What this means is more time for the Franchisee
to do the things they like to do. It also means that
once the Franchise is up and running effectively
the Franchisee can have a Manager take their
place and run the business on a day to day basis
and leave the Franchisee to just oversee the
business and focus on doing the things they are
passionate about.

“Remodeling is a complex and intense business. To
survive in the industry one needs proven, solid and
professional systems. Smith & Sons offers a proven
system that ensures entrepreneurial success and
freedom for each franchise.”
- Corey Passey
SOFTWARE SYSTEMS
The Smith & Sons Software System has been
developed specifically for Smith & Sons and is one
of the only building systems in use that fully links
all the procedures of a remodel from start to finish.
It is a project based, sales, estimating (with Graphic
Take-off capability), accounting and management
software package that operates to the required
accounting standards. The software manages every
step of the remodeling process from initial sales
and quoting through to hand over of the completed
remodel, and has been designed to manage all
types of remodels.
One of the great advantages of the Smith & Sons
Software ais that it automatically links in with the
Smith & Sons website. This had been specifically
designed for Master Franchisees and how the
system works is that the software from each
Franchisee updates a central database that runs
behind the Smith & Sons website. This means as a
Master Franchisee, you can see all the information
about your Franchisees and their remodels
from anywhere in the world, and it all happens
automatically.

PEER SUPPORT
SYSTEMS
Smith & Sons aims to alleviate any uncertainty
that a new Master Franchisee may have by
providing and encouraging peer support.
Some think that the network between the
Master Franchisees is unbeneficial and an
unimportant aspect when first considering
a franchise. Currently Master Franchisees
rate peer support second only to the
computer systems, as it minimises the
mystery and perceived complexity of owning
a professional remodeling business. Peer
support connects other like-minded business
owners and produces an environment where
they can discuss ideas, concerns and learn
how to do things better.

We treat everyone as if they are a guest in our own home.

The longer you’re with the family, the more you get that special feeling of belonging to an exceptional group of people. We know that our success is derived from the success of each Master Franchisee, and we therefore place a great deal of importance in selecting the right people that we feel would fit into our family. We’re about giving our Master Franchisees the brand name, marketing products, business tools, business systems, business training, and support that allows the small home renovator to compete with the much larger local, state and national operations.

  • 6. Smith & Sons originated from the consistent enquires that G.J. Gardner Homes received in regards to carrying out remodels. In an industry that lacked professionalism and complete customer service, the directors of G.J. Gardner Homes saw the opportunity to create a remodeling company that could deliver those qualities and more to home and commercial remodelers. 2008 saw the conception of Smith & Sons, with directors Corey Passey, Darren Wallis and Greg Gardner at the helm. The first Smith & Sons office opened in March of that year, and within 7 years, there were 90 franchisees operating. The Smith & Sons teams quickly became well known for their prominent Design Centre’s, distinctive vehicles and most importantly outstanding customer service. Within weeks of opening, offices were inundated with enquiry in what many considered a global recession, and each month more offices were added to Smith & Sons. With a company culture of excellence, team spirit, hard work and enjoying life, Smith & Sons has raced to the front of the remodeling industry, and has already forged successful and long lasting business and client relationships. The next few years look to be a great ride for all involved with the Smith & Sons team. COMPANY HISTORY

We ensure that people (both the staff and Franchisee) are trained in our systems so the office runs effectively and efficiently. What this means is more time for the Franchisee to do the things they like to do. It also means that once the Franchise is up and running effectively the Franchisee can have a Manager take their place and run the business on a day to day basis and leave the Franchisee to just oversee the business and focus on doing the things they are passionate about. Digital Marketing Strategies Smith & Sons Remodeling Experts have developed an effective web strategy including websites built to best practice guidelines, SEO, SEM and social media platforms. The bulk of all renovation enquiry now comes from the digital space so Smith & Sons place a heavy emphasis on this. Please view the Website at www.smith-sons.com. Behind the Website is a comprehensive intranet Franchisees use to share both management and marketing material. Many builders feel they have to do everything in their business.

Smith & Sons offers a proven system that ensures entrepreneurial success and freedom for each franchise.” - Corey Passey SOFTWARE SYSTEMS The Smith & Sons Software System has been developed specifically for Smith & Sons and is one of the only building systems in use that fully links all the procedures of a remodel from start to finish. It is a project based, sales, estimating (with Graphic Take-off capability), accounting and management software package that operates to the required accounting standards. The software manages every step of the remodeling process from initial sales and quoting through to hand over of the completed remodel, and has been designed to manage all types of remodels.
