So, you have acquired your long-awaited square meters, or you are just studying plans and developers. It’s better to get advice from a specialist now and understand all the possibilities, limitations, and advantages in advance. Of course, the question arises of what to do next, as the process of future events, such as renovation, finding a construction team, furnishing the decor, and so on, can be daunting.
The main thing is to understand clearly that the project, like the renovation process itself, is a thoroughly systematized process that should be handled by professionals to avoid constant reworking, time loss, and endless construction. Even before searching for designers, you need to understand for yourself what you ultimately want and make a short list of requirements, which this article can help you with: CLIENT QUESTIONNAIRE.
The selection of a designer should also be a responsible choice, as providing beautiful pictures and general schemes is not yet the finished result! The specialist – architect/designer or studio should provide a whole range of services, and only then will you receive what was approved in the design project, and most importantly, what will not exceed your planned budget for the renovation, which is also better to understand in advance.
- Selection of finishing materials, visits to showrooms, procurement, and logistics organization;
- Calculation of construction estimates and estimates for decorative materials;
- Author’s supervision and project management;
- Act of performed works and quality control at all stages;
- Making adjustments to the project (during construction);
- Providing consultations on the selection and ordering of furniture, household appliances, and other items;
- Use of the studio’s bonus programs, which will significantly save your budget.
In conclusion, it is better to choose a comprehensive approach, which means one organization or collaboration of design and construction professionals, with a contract signed and clearly defined boundaries of responsibility. Otherwise, you risk getting an unlimited number of problems during the renovation process and a hefty bill for additional work, which ultimately leads to exceeding the budget and constant headaches.
Work only with professionals! Get only the best results! And most importantly – enjoy the process itself, and have only positive emotions!
Wishing you all the best!
