Start With the Decisions That Matter Most
Research additions and detached casitas with early attention to feasibility, utilities, access, permitting and budget.
- Confirm site feasibility first
- Map utilities and access
- Understand permit and HOA review
- Budget the building envelope before interiors
Plan Before You Compare Proposals
A strong remodel starts with a scope that is clear enough for competing proposals to be compared fairly. Document priorities, boundaries and open decisions before getting lost in finish selections.
Questions for Your First Planning Meeting
- Which part of the scope could move the budget the most?
- Which decisions must be made before work starts?
- Which items most often create change orders?
- How will permits, HOA review and selections be coordinated?
