Planning your renovation budget
There is no single price suitable for every renovation. Existing conditions, floor area, equipment and finish level affect the estimate.
Separate the cost items
Distinguish services, substrates, finishes, equipment and labour. Check what is included in each proposal.
Compare equivalent scopes
Quotations can be compared when quantities, materials and work are sufficiently detailed. A missing item may represent an additional cost.
Anticipate decisions
Separate essential needs from optional choices. Discuss uncertainties in the existing property and how project changes would be handled.
