So.. You have an idea about what you would like to accomplish with
your home improvement renovation. You went over it and now the timing
is right for you to start and complete in 2 months. Does that sound
good? Well hold on there. You need plans, yes plans. So do not call
that contractor just yet.

You see the building inspector is also interested in you home
improvement project from a building up to code standards point of
view. Well, this now involves an architect. I hope you thought of that
and figured it into your time allotted for completion. This is the
most common mistake a homeowner makes. You see Architects are very
busy even more so than a home improvement contractor. Therefore, a
home improvement contractor is useless until you can furnish him with
plans. In addition, any contractor that says he can build without them
is going to make both of your lives very interesting.

Now you must choose an architect. This also is a tricky task. Because
they are so busy, you can wait for drawings for months. In addition,
you need to scrutinize architects just as you would a builder. Because
unbelievably there are some lets just say some architects out there
that will not have your deadline in mind.

What have you learned? You need to start the process in the winter so
that you can begin the project in the spring. Taking on a major home
improvement renovation is a time consuming and stressful decision. You
can avoid most of this stress by starting early enough so as not to
rush. Then you can save all of your stress for when you are ready to
choose cabinets and tile. Moreover, move on to the things that make
your home improvement project worthwhile.
