Sophie’s Top Tips for Planning your Renovation Project

Start with Clear Goals

Before you begin any renovation, it’s essential to define your goals. More space? Improved functionality? Added value? It is helpful to think about how you use your current spaces, and what works and doesn’t work for you.

Establish a Realistic Budget

Budgeting is key to a successful project. Aside from construction itself there are many costs associated with the process. Make sure you allow for Professional Fees, Local Authority Fees and External Consultant Fees such as Structural Engineers and Measured Building Surveyors. Also, don’t forget to put aside a contingency for those unforeseen costs!

Design for the Future

Whether it’s planning for family changes or flexible live/work spaces, it’s a great idea to future-proof your home, ensuring it adapts with your lifestyle over time.
