Discussing the Project

He or she will ask you what you want to change and what you want to retain. You will need to give the consultant ideas about your current lifestyle and how you wish to utilize a new space.

Goals and Priorities

The remodeler will ask you what you want to achieve through the home remodeling process.

  • More floor space?
  • More storage?
  • More efficiency?
  • Better traffic patterns?
  • Better visual appeal?
  • More up-to-date appearance?

Sometimes different goals come into conflict with each other. The consultant will help guide you to an answer.

Brainstorm Design Ideas

The consultant will help you consider different options for how to accomplish your goals, giving you different ideas for your home remodeling project. This is a valuable part of the process. Although you probably have some ideas for design, an expert can give you suggestions you maybe haven’t considered.

Learn About the Company

The remodeler should tell you something about their company during the initial visit. You can learn about the various steps in their design and construction process. The consultant may also tell you about the people who will be working on your project, whether they are subcontractors or employees of the company, and how long the process will take.

Preliminary Budget

A home remodeling company cannot give you a definite budget for your project until you have made the final decisions on materials and other details. During the initial consultation, they will give you an estimate for what the project is likely to cost. The consultant will break the budget into different categories, which will help you decide where you want to spend your money and where you might want to conserve. From the start, our team helps you design towards your budget. Our interior designer will help you with select and purchase the right materials, so they fit within your budget. Once all materials, plumbing fixtures, paint colors, and designs have been finalized we can give you an accurate cost for construction. No more guesswork.
