You might not be sure which professionals you need for your project; you might just know for sure that it is a pro renovation you want to do.
From a sizeable whole house pro renovation to smaller kitchen or bathroom renovations – who will you need on your side?
Architect
The idea you have in mind and the sketches you have done to bring it to life are essential. But you need someone trained to bring it to life. This pro will create something that the rest of the professionals on the renovation can use.
For any significant remodeling, residential project, or commercial project, you would be wise to make sure you have the right architects on your project team.
Contractor
A contractor will work with all of the other team members to ensure that the whole project stays on track. They will oversee the hiring of subcontractors, and materials, supervise the work in progress and make sure the project gets the proper cleanup.
Alongside the architect, the contractor is one of the most critical parts of the pro renovation team.
The moment you are ready to start putting the architect’s plans into progress, the person that you need to contact is the contractor.
Builder
Builders tend to work in a crew, which means you will have a team working on your project. They will work closely with the contractor. The contractor will be the middleman between the house owner and the architect. Although sometimes, the project is smaller, and communication lines will be less convoluted.
You’d need to make sure that you have your building crew booked well in advance. If you aren’t a working contractor, you’ll need to step into the project management role.
Interior designer
Once the renovation is done, will you want to put the same design elements back in that you have before? Most likely, you aren’t. That means that you might want a professional interior designer to come in with a fresh eye and run you through all of the possibilities and then make it happen.
Once all the renovations are completed, and you have an almost blank canvas to work with, it’s time to call in a professional. They will help you finish your vision and create the look you hoped to achieve.
Interior designers work collaboratively with you to achieve your goals.
Color consultant
If you don’t have the knack for making colors look good together, a color consultant can change that. Instead of trying to Pinterest board your way to something that looks good, hire a professional.
A color consultant knows which colors should be used in which space and why. They can find contracting pairs that work, clashing that makes sense and give the room a sense of identity.
If you don’t know what color your living room should be, your bathroom feels dark rather than chic. Your solution–call in the color professionals.
