Prioritizing:
Decide what you absolutely need in your new space. Which features would you LIKE to have, and which ones do you NEED to have? You must prioritize your needs.
Establish a Budget:
Establish a budget for the
entire project and be open about it with your contractor. Unrealistic
expectations can result if you don't convey how much you want to spend and
what you hope to get for that amount of money.
If you have to skimp on
something now to get what you want later, we would suggest getting a less
expensive countertop, flooring or electrical fixtures. These are easy to
replace later.
Determine the scope of the job.
We can work with you on this. The advice and expertise of a knowledgeable
contractor will help you establish the steps that need to be taken to attain
the plan you are looking for.
Remember cabinetry and other
special order items can have lead-times of 4-8 weeks for delivery to your
project site.
If you are going to be doing some of the work yourself, make it at the beginning or at the end of the job. This will make sure our portion isn't delayed and you still save money on the "do it yourself" portion.
Finalize a Plan:
Know exactly where everything will be going. This is a very critical step and should be given the most attention.
Preparation:
To prepare for construction,
pack your personal items in clearly labeled boxes that can be moved to
another part of the home during the project. Remove any items from walls in
neighboring rooms. The vibrations from construction can cause pictures to
fall.
Daily communication with your
project manager should ease the construction process for your family.
Don't forget it's a temporary inconvenience, but a permanent improvement. Have fun with it! Keep a sense of humor.
