Frequently Asked

I want to renovate, what's first?

When you have a project in mind, we suggest your first step would be to interview renovators/builders and look into their business process, their opinions of your project and a rough budget.  Discovering what kind of renovator you'd like to work with is just as important as what you'd like to renovate.  A rough budget from the style of renovator you're comfortable with allows you to move to the next step in the process - design.  Having a budget in mind will help designer's know their limitations.

What are the differences between renovators?

There are 3 basic business styles that renovators/builders use to operate.  They are referred to as Design/Build, Cost Plus and Project Management.  Each have their own Pros and Cons.  Click the image to the right to see a basic break down on the general differences between the 3 styles.  The question here breaks down to "What services are being provided by the Renovator and do I know how much they are charging for them?"

Comparison of how renovators work
Why do I need plans and designs?

Working through the design and layout of your project with a professional allows for many needed key items. Plans for your project will allow Renovators/Builders to gather accurate quotes for the work needed, are needed for building permits and is a physical reference to the vision you'd like everyone to work towards.  

Designs are a preliminary investment into your project and if you don't have or know a professional, ask your Renovator or friends for a referral.

To be able to truly compare "apples to apples" on quotes, even the project's finishes would need to be specified, and is best done with a professional interior designer's help.  Admittedly, this is difficult to do before a projects budget is determined as the range on finish materials is large.  Ask your Renovator/Builder how they cost the finishes on your project.
