Estimating renovation projects inherently involves some guesswork, but we take steps to minimize it as much as possible. Here’s how:
Crystal-clear Design Drawings: Our meticulous drawings go beyond basic sketches and floor plans. They include precise measurements, elevations, sections, and details with specifications for materials and finishes and clear layouts for plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems. This level of detail allows us to calculate material quantities and labor hours more accurately.
Upfront Material & Fixture Selection: We work with you to select all materials and fixtures – tiles, flooring, cabinets, countertops, accessories down to the door knobs on your cabinetry – before finalizing the quote. This eliminates the need to estimate costs based on allowances, reducing the potential for surprises later.
Thorough Inspections: Before finalizing the quote, we thoroughly inspect your home’s structure, plumbing and HVAC systems, and electrical wiring. This uncovers potential unseen issues that could impact the project scope, cost, and design. By identifying these issues upfront, we can factor them into the quote, avoiding unexpected cost overruns during construction.
Only after we complete all the above-mentioned steps do we provide a fixed-price quote that we guarantee will not change during construction.
As the saying goes, “An hour of planning can save you 10 hours of doing.” We take this philosophy to heart at Sosna. Our designers and construction experts collaborate and work closely with you to create highly detailed plans and renderings, leaving no detail to chance. We meticulously consider every element of your project, from layout and materials to lighting and fixtures.
Our designers educate you on the pros and cons of every element or fixture, helping you make the right decisions.
This upfront investment in planning ensures a smooth and seamless renovation experience, free of surprises and last-minute changes.
