How To Prepare For A Home Remodel

Preparing for a home remodel can seem like a daunting and overwhelming task. What do you need to know before remodeling? In what order should you renovate a home? These and other questions may be occupying your thoughts and raising your anxiety. However, home renovations can be a manageable undertaking. If you break the process down into smaller steps, it can make the renovations much easier to manage. Here are some tips to help you prepare for a successful home remodel:

Identify your home remodeling needs.

Before you start your remodeling project, it's important to take some time to identify your needs and plan ahead. Start by making a list of what you need to make your space function for you. The room may be missing a key element, and/or the flow of the space is inconvenient and causing stress. Consider what is working and not working currently in your home, as this will help you determine what needs to be changed.

Define your dreams for the space.

Next, think about what you want to make the space live up to your dreams for your home and what you want to include in the future. Determine the design styles that match your taste. Identify elements you want in the room(s). Create a folder of images and ideas you have for your room(s). Identifying your needs and wants is the first step in defining your project scope and setting up a successful renovation plan. 

Set a realistic budget.

Once you have researched and have a good idea of what you want to do to your home, set a desired yet realistic budget for your remodel. Also, determine your maximum spend amount. Having a clear understanding of these numbers will help you set expectations with a contractor and tradespeople and help you develop a detailed plan.

Use Threshold Building As Your Contractor

Once you have a complete understanding of what you want and need to change in your space, consider whether you will be handling the project yourself or if you'll need to partner with Threshold Buidling. If the home project does not require significant changes, you may be able to complete the renovation as a weekend warrior DIY project. However, suppose the project is more significant in scale and requires multiple tradespeople to get the job done. In that case, consider hiring Threshold Building and leave your concerns with us.

Make a detailed plan.

With your budget in mind, it is time for the design development phase to begin. During this period, you will flesh out the details and make your selections for the space. You may want to have an architect or interior designer draw up plans to help you visualize the space and create drawings from which Threshold Buidling may work from. 

Finalize the project scope.

Now that the design plan is in place, you will need to finalize your project scope. The project scope is a detailed outline of all aspects of the project. It identifies which tasks need to be completed, the resources required to complete the tasks, including the cost of materials and labor, the timing in which these tasks should be completed, and the final deliverables. It also defines the project's boundaries, outlining the processes, assumptions, and constraints of your remodeling project. It details the accountabilities of crucial stakeholders, creates a working schedule, and calculates the current cost of materials, labor, and any other expenses associated with the project. Making sure you have a well-defined scope will help you and your contractor set clear expectations, help your renovations stay on track, and avoid surprises. 

Prepare your home.

Your scope has been defined, and your materials are in. But before demolition begins, you will need to prepare your home. Move any furniture and items out of the area you'll be remodeling. Cover the floors with drop cloths, and turn off the power to the area. Your contractor may or may not provide these services. Talk with Threshold Building to understand what time and additional expenses you may need to incur in preparation for construction to begin.

Be prepared for the unexpected.

With all the detailed planning that led up to your project's start, you will hopefully avoid any major surprises. However, most of us recognize that everything is never foolproof. There can be unexpected issues that arise during the construction period. Items could arrive damaged. A problem is discovered when a wall or flooring is removed. Market changes could hit that significantly impacts material costs and availability. Even if you have done your due diligence, you should remain prepared to make adjustments if needed. 

Planning ahead is key to a successful remodel. By following these tips, you can ensure a stress-free home remodel. Good luck!
