Our ultimate goal as a professional remodeling company is to fulfill our clients’ dreams and visions, and to give the best service down to the last detail. With
a detailed and accurate set of plans, this goal can be achieved.
The life blood of any project are the “plans” and unfortunately that seems to have the least amount of importance to some
clients. Without any direction or vision, how can we comprehend or project the
end result?
Having plans for a major remodeling project is no different than a surgeon who
orders x-rays, cat scans or MRIs before starting surgery. If you were fortunate enough to be on a successful
sports team, the coach always had a game plan. If you did not use a map on your
vacation, you would spend all your valuable time stopping and asking for
directions. In everything you do in life, there needs to be some direction if
you want to be successful.
The owners and contractors perception of the project is one of the most
important reasons for plans. You have heard the saying: “Everyone needs to be on the same page.” With plans and specifications, everyone can see and understand the project.
Plans are also a necessity when it comes to a budget and controlling cost.
A budget is just as important to the contractor as to the homeowner. In order to qualify a
project, there must be some idea of cost. Effective planning
|
will help determine the cost so the owner can budget accordingly. There is
nothing worse than an owner and contractor spending quality time with no
possible chance of meeting expected budgets.
The expertise and advice of a professional architect or designer are essential
to maintain the aesthetics and integrity of the structure. The architect,
contractor and owner can work together to solve any challenges.
Just as a surgeon has a team of specialists, homeowners create a professional
team of architects and contractors. A good team of specialists will provide the
owner with a quality desired end product.
Speaking as a contractor, our company probably will not pursue a large project
unless the owner provides plans. An owner who has invested time and money to
create plans and specifications is a serious potential client. On the other
hand, a professional contractor will request plans to insure his understanding
of the owner’s dream.
When an owner has a plan and scope for the project, a contractor will qualify
this as a “potential project.” An owner’s commitment to research and necessary homework is a strong indication that the
owner is very serious.
Without any direction or vision we cannot comprehend or project the end result.
