Estimate Right
Estimation is the approximate cost you can expect to incur when you are renovating your house. Having a figure in mind helps you with budgeting and planning further. The very first step in planning your budget for home renovation is estimating the costs. A small mistake here can ruin the entire process. Here is how you can get a reliable estimate:
- Decide which areas of the house you want to remodel or renovate. Some people would want to change just one room at a time, while some may want to redo the entire house and have a totally new look to their home.
- Decide on what all you want to change around the house. This has to include even the smallest of changes as you can never be sure of how much it can cost or extra work it can lead to.
- Next get a decorator or a contractor to look around the house and tell you what type of changes are required in which parts of the house. This allows you to incorporate what you want with what you ought to do around the house.
- Break down the cost into material cost, labor cost, execution cost, supervisor cost, etc. This will tell you how much money is going where, so that you can make changes if needed, in case of a budget constraint.
- Get the estimate written and signed by your contractor to make it official. This will not only tell you how much money might be needed but will also give you a solid proof to fall back on if your contractor quotes more or goes back on his words as work progresses.
