A major home renovation, addition, or new building project is a significant investment in time and money. These complex projects can feel daunting. Having the right renovation company on your team can reduce stress and ensure a smooth process.
Northern Craftsmen in Edmonton is a residential renovation contractor specializing in renovations, additions, and custom builds. They share how a detailed plan and transparent process can achieve the results you want without the stress.
Start with an open conversation
Northern Craftsmen will gather as much information as possible from you on that first phone call. They will ask you detailed questions about your home, project, and goals. Having an open, transparent conversation can help both parties decide if they’re the right fit for your project. It’s also the first step in building a relationship of trust.
Complete a site inspection
A site inspection will allow the team at Northern Craftsmen to determine the scope of work required for your project. The aim of the inspection is to assess the work required to reach your project goals and identify any areas of concern that might otherwise delay the project. For example, they’ll confirm which walls are loadbearing, and which could easily be removed, determine which trades will be needed, and inspect foundational cracks or areas of moisture buildup, and review site access if large equipment is necessary for the job. Being thorough right at the start of a project can potentially save many headaches down the road.
Work out the details
From there, they’ll take measurements of the space for more accurate quoting. They’ll determine the best products and any specific requirements. For example, your renovation might require asbestos testing or an engineered design. They’ll also determine what permits and inspections are required. All these details will help Northern Craftsmen provide an accurate and detailed estimate.
Provide an estimate
Northern Craftsmen aims to provide a ‘turn-key’ estimate, meaning there is nothing left to complete once their job is done. In your estimate, you’ll see every detail of your project and the costs involved.
Your project manager will review the estimate with you in detail. They’ll answer all your questions and address your concerns. After this conversation, you should feel assured that everyone is on the same page. You’ll also have a good understanding of how long the renovation will take, including a timeframe for each stage of the renovation. Open communication and transparency are key to meeting work expectations and your goal for the finished project.
Start the project
Once all the details and planning are taken care of, it’s time to start construction. No matter the size or the scope of the project they will keep you informed as the work progresses and ensure everything meets the highest standards of quality while keeping it on time and on budget.
