Matching Renovation Dreams to Dollars

Wondering how to develop a renovation plan to match your budget? 

  1. Know your goals for the renovation.  What are you hoping to accomplish through the renovation?  If you are not sure about the next step in meeting your renovation goal ask about optional design services to help clarify the scope before the project gets too involved.
  2. Work with professionals to make sure your hopes and dollars match up.  Architects provide initial design concepts.  After initial design concepts are developed order of magnitude costs can be provided by the Architect or by Contractors.  The design can be refined to meet your budget and address your goals.  
  3. Nail down details before construction starts. Architects develop the construction documents that are road maps for the contractor to perform the work.  Familiarity with codes and construction methods help define the scope of the renovation.  The more that is determined upfront the more accurate the pricing from the Contractor will be.
