Start With the Decisions That Matter Most
Make design decisions that improve how the home works as well as how it looks.
- Solve circulation before decoration
- Plan storage around real routines
- Use lighting as part of the architecture
- Choose materials for maintenance as well as appearance
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?
