WHAT MAKES A GREAT RENOVATION

DEPENDING UPON WHAT YOUR RENOVATION PLAN ENTAILS, WHETHER YOU ARE SIMPLY REMODELING YOUR BATHROOM, OR BUILDING AN EXTENSION ON YOUR HOME.
FIRST, CHOOSE A DESIGN TEAM THAT FEELS RIGHT TO YOU.
YOU MAY DECIDE TO WORK WHITH AN ARCHITECT, INTERIOR DESIGNER OR A DESIGN-BUILD COMPANY.
BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO CHOOSE A CONSULTANT AND WHO YOU FEEL WILL CAPTURE THE ESSENCE OF YOUR DREAMS, VISION AND BUDGET.
THE CONSULTANT YOU CHOOSE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PRODUCING THE WORKING DRAWINGS THAT COMMUNICATE TO THE REST OF THE TEAM WHAT YOU WANT AND HOW IT WILL BE BUILT.
THE RENOVATOR READS THIS DOCUMENTATION AND IT ENSURES THAT ALL THE DETAILS OF YOUR PROJECT ARE FULLY CAPTURED, UNDERSTOOD CLEARLY AND BUDGETED ACCURATELY.
BEFORE YOU MEET WITH YOUR DESIGNER, SPEND SOME TIME DOING RESEARCH ON YOUR OWN, READ MAGAZINES, CLIP PICTURES THAT ILUSTRATE DESIGN DETAILS THAT YOU LIKE: VISIT SHOWROOMS TO LEARN ABOUT PRODUCT CHOICES, AND ATTEND HOME SHOWS.
THE MORE KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE, THE MORE INFORMED AND CONFIDENT YOUR CHOICES WILL BE.
THE DESIGNER WILL HAVE THE EXPERIENCE REGARDING PRODUCTS ITEMS SUCH AS FLOOR FINISHES, BATHROOM FIXTURES, KITCHEN CABINETRY, LIGHT FIXTURES, WALL FINISHES AND TRIM DETAILS, ETC.
ALLOW THEM TO HELP YOU PRIORITIZE.
IT MAY TURN OUT THAT YOUR BUDGET IS TOO LEAN TO INCLLUDE EVERYTHING ON YOUR WISH LIST, SO RELY ON YOUR DESIGNER TO HELP YOU DECIDE WHAT THE MOST IMPORTANT INCLUSIONS ARE.
WITH THIS IN MIND, CHOOSE THE DESIGN ELEMENTS THAT WILL PROVIDE MAXIMUM IMPACT BOTH FUNCIONALLY AND DECORATIVELY.
DON’T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR SUBSTITUTIONS FOR SPECIFIC PRODUCTS IN ORDER TO MAKE YOUR DOLLARS STRETCH:
BOTH YOUR DESIGNER AND YOUR CONTRACTOR HAVE EXPERIENCE THAT WILL HELP YOU MAKE THESE KINDS OF DECISIONS.
AS A FINAL WORD, KEEP IN MIND THAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS WHAT WILL ULTIMATELY MAKE YOUR RENOVATION GREAT.
THE ENTIRE TEAM CONTRIBUTES TO ENSURING THAT THE FINISHED RESULT IS IMPRESSIVE- FROM THE DESIGNER WHO CAPTURES AND CONVEYS THE DETAILS, AND THE CONTRACTOR WHO OVERSEES THE CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES, TO THE SUBTRADES AND INSTALLERS WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE QUALITY OF FIT AND FINISH. IN THE END, A PLEASING RESULT IS A RENOVATION THAT IS GREATER THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS.
