Hire a Trained Interior Designer
Hire a trained interior designer and you will improve the overall success of any renovation project, big or small. You can also benefit from the designer’s construction and project management experience. The interior designer has the training to coordinate the project and can pull it all together to reach your goals.
An interior designer can visualize what is required to transform your space into what you are imagining. What practicalities need to be considered?
Design-Build Contracting
Design-Build contracting has the advantage of contractor input early in the design phase. This can save time and money in the selection of materials and trade input into the design. The schedule and budget will be realistic and achievable. The key is that the designer and the contractor are working together while doing what they do best.
Prepare Well for Your Own Role
Do your homework online. Do not start designing the renovation yourself. Spend your time defining what you want to accomplish and looking at every relevant picture you can find on online. Collect these and reduce the huge number of choices so as to make your time with the designer more productive, Communicate your likes and dislikes. However, let the designer make it work for you. A personal working relationship is more important with your designer than it is with the trades that will put it all together.
Building the Renovation
We are talking here about an interior designer. Some home projects, such as a living room cosmetic upgrade or a child’s bedroom decor may not need all the talents of an interior designer. You may just need a bit of experienced guidance. However, more extensive renovations need all the skills of a designer with knowledge of the construction code, permits, and inspections.
This is what caught our attention with this Barrie, Ontario firm.
