What Is The First Thing To Do When RenovAting A House
When starting a home renovation you could be wondering where to begin? It can feel overwhelming but the crucial thing to do is to curate the right team for your project. Whether that be with contractors, architects, or designers. You have to start somewhere and we recommend getting a few bids or quotes for the areas you want to remodel.
At Nazeli Design we personally advise a potential client to initially set up an in person consultation. Not only do you get to do a walk through of the space but you see first hand what you could potentially do with the space as well. This not only is important for the client to get a feel of the designer but also for the designer to see if this is something they can help you with.
Let's say you've hired your contractor and your designer, now what? It’s time to create a plan and design so that your contractor knows where to start demolition. Another tip would be to hire a design firm who offers you architectural design services as well so that you do not need to hire another party. Too many cooks in the kitchen can also result into an overwhelming experience.
Once you have the right team it is go time. The construction crew and the design team should be working simultaneously to get the process going. While your contractor is tearing down walls you and your designer are working on approving the design scheme and purchasing materials so that the contractor can begin installing the new finishes.
