Expectations

SO YOU WANT TO REMODEL YOUR HOME?

Well, we’re here for it! We’re just as excited as you to imagine the design potential within your home. But how much does a home remodel cost? There’s no point in shuffling around the question: a home remodel comes with a substantial price tag. Unlike building out an entirely new space, remodelling involves marrying old materials with the new, and therefore requires a specialized set of skills.


Can we offer you an accurate estimate on your project? Yes! But keep in mind no project looks the same. Each home comes with its own unique set of conditions and circumstances. The cost of the project depends on the needs and variables specific to a space, which tend to evolve over time. It is our priority to provide you with accurate estimates at every stage of the process, as the design of your project evolves. This means that before the building stage even begins, we will equip you with an honest estimate for the full scope of your project.

Succession Planning

While we’re committed to helping you bring your dream home to life, we’re also big believers in transparency and setting realistic expectations. A large-scale renovation costs substantial time and financial resources, which is why we offer our clients the option to choose succession planning. With a succession plan, your renovation will be parsed into a series of smaller projects completed over an agreed-upon period of time, suitable to your budget now, and longterm.
