7 STEPS FOR PLANNING AND DESIGNING YOUR HOME RENOVATION IN NEWMARKET
You need to be keen when doing your home renovation in Newmarket. Here are some steps that you may consider when planning and designing your renovation.
Embarking on a home renovation in Newmarket can be a tedious process especially for first timers. There are many things that you need to consider before starting this renovation project. Permits, costs, and contractors are the least of your problems. As experienced contractors, we’d like to help you make sure that the renovation process is as smooth as it can be. Here’s what you need to know when planning and designing for your home renovation in Newmarket:
1. Know your Goals
It’s important that you set goals for yourself before boarding on the renovation process. Many of the problems that people face during the renovation process can be attributed to poor planning. You need to outline what you expect to achieve from the project after it’s done. In addition, you also need to set priorities. Be realistic about the important aspects of the project vs the things that’ll be nice to have if the budget permits.
Taking inventory can definitely help with the process. Simply write down the things that you’d like changed in the house/room with a description of why it should be changed. By setting your priorities, you’re setting yourself up on a path to properly assess the budget needed for the completion of the project.
Don’t forget to include other members of the household if you’re not living alone. Their input could be vital in ensuring that all aspects of the renovation process are covered.
2. Be Realistic
As much as you want to change or improve the house, you need to make sure that you’re not stretching your goals/budget. You need to be realistic in what needs to be done in the renovation process. It’s easy to get carried away and to want more than can be done/achieved. Everyone has a budget they need to stick to and so you need to make sure that your goals and priorities are within the stated limits. Also, you should also look at local laws to ensure that what you want changed in the house is allowed within your area.
3. Outline the Details
Details, details, details! The devil is always in the details. Many people have stated that their home renovation in Newmarket went above their budget even after using a budget spreadsheet. We, here at Atera Construction and Home Renovation, know what the weak point is: a lack of properly outlined details.
Many people simply don’t think about the other smaller elements that are just as important to the project. Elements like time delay, taxes, and shipping can add a huge cost to the project especially when not factored in from the onset. Always outline all the details of the project, no matter how small.
4. The Design Process
This is an important aspect in making sure that your home renovation in Newmarket goes smoothly. Here at Atera Construction and Home Renovation, we have a designer/architect on staff, so we offer a one stop shop for all your home renovation needs. At this stage, we normally sit with the clients and listen to their ideas and plans.
Depending on the complexity of the project, we might advise to have the design done separately as a phase in itself. We normally have the contractor and architect for the meeting to make sure that the design and project is realistic and feasible on a construction standpoint. In addition, we can also assist you on matters regarding permits when needed.
5. Renovation Design Services
Once you have the design (blueprint and outlook on the final project), you can seek some professional renovation design services or go the DIY route. We’d advise you to get a professional company like Atera Construction and Home Renovation.
As a construction and home renovation company, we can do more than just construct the room for you. We can help you with project budgeting and management. Assistance can also be provided in obtaining permits and other required documents. Working with a professional company has the added advantage of ensuring that you stay on budget and that the renovation goes as planned.
