Planning remodeling projects can be a very challenging task, especially if you don’t have anything specific in mind yet. This is why experts recommend keeping a renovation binder to use as a general reference. Here’s a quick rundown on the essential info that should be included in your binder.
The Budget
The upper and lower limit of your funds should be accessible because you will keep checking it throughout the course of the project. The more detailed your budget plan is in terms of material, labor and other costs, the less likely you will get caught off-guard by unexpected expenses.
Proposals and Contracts
Keep a collection of project offers from the list of bathroom and kitchen remodelers that you plan to hire. We strongly recommend narrowing your choices down to contractors offering their services at the most competitive (not the cheapest) price to get the most value out of your money.
Floor Plans
Also, include the general layout of the proposed renovation that will take place. This will help you get a good grasp of which new features will go to what part of the room. Floor plans will also give the contractors an idea of where the room’s existing plumbing and electrical wiring are, which are crucial if the project involves adding new outlets, lighting or plumbing.
Design Inspirations
Don’t know what kind of kitchen cabinets to pick for your next project? Experts recommend including pictures of kitchens showcased by other homeowners or designers. Inspirational images of existing rooms taken online or from printed media can be compiled to your binder and used as a basis for your next project.
