Keys to a Successful Home Renovation

How can you make sure your home renovation is successful? By putting together a detailed project scope and a schedule. Read on to find out more from DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Aiken.

The Importance of Project Scope

The project scope helps define the responsibilities of your contractor. To minimize the risk of miscommunication, you should clarify the things your contractor is responsible for from the get-go. As a rule of thumb, the more specific the project scope, the better.

While crafting your project scope, keep the SMART rule in mind:

Specific – As mentioned earlier, be as specific as possible.
Measurable – Goals should be measurable. Otherwise, you’ll have a hard time finding out whether you and your contractor achieved them.
Achievable – Be realistic. Consult your home improvement contractors to find out how much time is needed to complete a certain phase of the project. Remember: rushing a project is always a bad idea.
Relevant – Remove details that don’t add value to the project.
Time-bound – Setting a time limit makes sure the project stays on track.

Making a Schedule & Sticking to It

A schedule is essential to the success of any renovation project. However, keep in mind you can’t rule out the possibility of unforeseen setbacks, no matter how much you prepare. It’s important to stick to the schedule as much as possible, but you need to be flexible to a certain extent as well.

One more thing: make sure to work with a qualified contractor while crafting the project scope and schedule. Remember, a home renovation is essentially a collaboration between you and the contractor, so constant communication is key to the project’s success.
