Today we’ll provide a checklist to help you plan your addition.
- Determine the Key Objectives for Your Project – You need first make a wish list. Ask yourself about the problem you want to solve or the objective you want to achieve for your project. Write down everything that comes to mind and use this to guide you during the rest of your preparations. As long as you achieve your objectives, your project will be a success.
- Look for Inspiration – Filling a scrapbook with plans and photos that inspire you will help bring your wants and needs into clearer focus. They will help you define your sense of style. Browse the Internet for photos, read magazines, or ask a home remodeling expert like us about our previous projects and recommendations.
- Prioritize – Once you have enough design ideas, you need to start prioritizing. Identify the special features and designs that you most want to achieve for your home. Don’t rule out expensive things and decor this early on. You can plan the rest of the project around that feature by economizing everything else.
- Calculate – Now you can figure out the budget for your project. Ask us for an estimate on your planned design. We might be able to provide suggestions or alternatives that can reduce your project’s cost. Use the estimate to give yourself a target, and write everything down together with your list. Now you’ll have a solid foundation to work with your contractor and plan the rest of your addition.
