In order to successfully prepare a well thought out estimate of services, it is important for the General Contractor to know what the Client’s “investment amount” is prior to. This investment amount is also referred to as a budget. By having a firm understanding on this amount, he can create an estimate of services that is attainable for the Client while staying within the Client’s investment scope. It is also useful to understand what the Client’s level of “grievance” is for requesting the work to be done. In other words, what is driving the Client to want to this done? For example, is this a retrofit to refresh and update the existing home? Is this a refurbishment, renovation, and/or remodeling project to improve and transform the existing home above and beyond its initial condition? Some Clients are looking for an idea of the costs associated with a renovation/development for future consideration. In other instances, this has become a necessity based on a change in their circumstances where more room is required. By better understanding your needs, the Avesta Contracting can work with you to provide the best solutions, while keeping a realistic approach.
From the moment you decide to renovate, a common question is, “When will the project be done?” We provide our clients with an estimated time for completion, although there are many factors that can come into play: Unforeseen circumstances (such as weather delays or concealed conditions) may add time to the overall schedule; Delays in Client selections, or significant Client generated additions or deletions to the project scope made during the renovation; An Industry boom can cause scheduling delays with all the trade partners already booked months in advance; Or, if the project carries over a major holiday such as Christmas, this can contribute to an extended time frame. We will do everything that we can to ensure a reasonable timeline by updating the Client on any and all issues that affect this.
Yes, in most instances, you can make changes during your renovation. During the renovation, we will discuss timelines with you and indicate what decisions need to be made and when. In order to ensure the project’s success, you need to make decisions ahead of time so this will not delay the overall scheduling including all the subsequent trade partners. With that said, we will assist you in making timely decisions. It is important to understand that certain selections may take time to order. New Windows and doors most often fit into this category taking 4-6 weeks. However, should you change your mind about an existing selection once all your selections have been made and processed, there are also adverse effects to keep in mind. For example, if you have re-selected a tile that has now become a special order tile that takes 4 – 6 weeks, this will affect the project scheduling and timelines creating a snowball effect. Further, most suppliers charge a minimum 25% restocking fee if the product has already been acquired. Any changes made during the renovation that are not included in the original contract will be documented on a Change Order form including the cost of the change, for your signed authorization prior to the work being done, or the product ordered.
The best time to start your home renovation depends on many factors unique to your lifestyle and schedule. All in all, the best timing is whatever works best for you. You might prefer to schedule your renovation project for when the project would be least disruptive to your lifestyle and daily schedule. Interior projects, such as a Basement, Kitchen, or Bathroom remodel, can be done year-round as they are not dependent on the weather. Projects performed on the exterior of your home, such as the Home additions may also be performed at any time during the year but may be preferable in summer. During your initial consultation, we’ll be happy to answer any questions and consider the timeline of your project before moving forward.
