DO YOU NEED A CALGARY RENOVATION CONSULTANT?




Think you can manage without a Calgary renovation consultant? Perhaps, but on something as important as your home renovation, being well informed is a must! Get the best return on your dollar does not happen by chance, but is the result of careful planning and understanding the key components of your renovation. Getting clarity on your renovation is like playing detective and trying find out what is behind walls, so you know what is possible and the likely cost involved. Problem is that is very hard to do! However a renovation consultant can use many years of experience and knowledge, as well as certain exploratory techniques to help get a much clearer picture!



Do you know the answer to these renovation questions?

  • Is the wall I want to remove structural?
  • Can I move this wall without major cost?
  • Can I redesign my bathroom without major problems with the drains?
  • Can I do an addition without ripping my house apart?
  • What are implications of moving windows and doors?
  • What is the most cost effective way to reduce heat loss?
  • What are my options if the wall I want to move contains plumbing or HVAC?
  • Is doing a major renovation with an addition sensible or should I do a new build?
  • Where does my proposed renovation start and stop?
  • Will my renovations need a permit?
  • Should I do my renovations in stages or at the same time?
  • How to I mitigate the risk and high cost of asbestos remediation?

These are just a few selected questions from many more that people ask every day, when looking to do a Calgary home renovation. Some questions can be answered quickly and clearly with some preliminary investigation, while others may take more time and possibly further follow up with a key trade or qualified professional to answer. Either way finding out the answer is very important and if this is not readily apparent, you need have a go to plan of how to do this.



It is often the things that you can't readily see in a renovation that cause the biggest risk or may be some of the biggest cost contributors!


Why should you use a consultant?

You can't be an expert in everything, so bringing in someone who is can make the difference between a successful project based on sound decisions and a frustrating project which costs way more that it needed to! Designers can be a good source of information, but most do not have construction experience, so expecting them to understand all the cost and implications of the proposed renovation is not realistic. It is therefore crucial to have some who has a great understanding of renovations, to help identify any of the most important challenges and provide good advice and possible solutions, before you start your project. So what about a renovation company? Well there are some good companies out there, but you are always going to have a nagging doubt in your mind whether the advice you are receiving in truly objective, or if there is any ulterior motive at play? Why not dispel your fear that you are maybe not getting the best advice for your project, by using the Calgary renovation consultant.



When should I use a renovation consultant?

My advice would be as soon you have a reasonably clear idea of what you want to achieve. It makes sense to bring in a reno consultant, before employing the services of a designer or renovation company. This way you don't waste time and money pursuing ideas which will blow your budget or may involve circling back in the process due to lack of good advice (there is nothing more frustrating than spending a whole bunch of effort and hard earned money thinking you have ultimate reno, only to find out it is not realistic or achievable). Have a clear plan before you get underway is critical and if you still have unanswered questions, then my advice would be to find someone who can give give you that strategic information and maybe even offer you better solutions you had not even thought of!
