Before you do anything else, it is important to know what you want from the remodeling process. Take a few months to observe how vital areas of the house such as the kitchen and the bathrooms are being used by you and the family. Daniels Design and Remodeling recommends that you observe how these rooms are being used for at least six months before making any decisions. Remodeling must make the room both pleasing to enter and practical to use. Observation and planning is key to discovering how your family uses these rooms and in the process, understand what you want from your remodeling. Planning is important but another thing that is just as important is consultation. As the homeowner you must open communication channels not just with your remodeling contractor but also with the house's architect, job site supervisor and anyone else who might get involved in the remodeling process. Look to set ground rules between you and the people involved in the renovation. Pay attention to all questions and comments regarding your project. Clear, succinct communication is required if you are serious about the remodeling project. Daniels and Design and Remodeling recognizes the importance of good communication, which is why during the early days of the design process, the staff get to know their client and what they want from their remodeling project.
The final step is implementation, this is when you analyze your home along with the remodeling contractor and make plans for renovation. This is where you obtain the needed materials for the project and rearrange your living arrangements, for example setting up a temporary kitchen elsewhere and make sure that nothing comes in the way of the project. Daniels Design and Remodeling handles this process by creating a detailed schedule that covers all aspects of the project from start to finish. Obtain all permits, have weekly progress meetings and daily inspections until the project is completed.
