Assess the Existing Home
Discuss the layout, visible wear, storage, lighting, and comfort of each room. Existing plumbing, wiring, and structural conditions can affect the proposed work.
Identify architectural details worth preserving, such as trim, doors, or flooring. Include these priorities in the plan before selecting new finishes.
Coordinate the Improvements
Plan room connections, lighting, storage, and finishes together. A coordinated approach helps avoid decisions in one room creating problems in another.
Ask how unexpected conditions will be handled, what approvals may be needed, and how changes to the budget or schedule will be discussed.
- Conduct a thorough structural and electrical assessment
- Define your primary layout and functional goals
- Select durable materials suited for daily wear
- Establish a realistic timeline and budget plan
