A well-executed renovation can breathe new life into a space, increase functionality, and boost the value of your property. But without proper planning, it can quickly become a source of delays, budget overruns, and stress.
At Grupo Contreras, we’ve seen both sides of the story, and we’re here to help you stay on the right one.
1. Start with a clear vision
Every solid renovation begins with a defined purpose. Are you modernizing? Expanding? Preparing to rent or sell? Having clear goals helps guide all your design and financial decisions.
2. Focus on functional, realistic design
It’s not enough for your new space to look good; it must work for those who use it. Smart architectural planning considers layout, lighting, ventilation, and technical feasibility.
3. Respect your budget (and include a buffer)
Too many projects run into problems by assuming they can figure it out along the way. We always recommend a detailed budget that includes a contingency for surprises. This helps prioritize without compromising quality.
4. Coordinate all trades early on
From electricians and plumbers to drywall and ACT installers—if every trade works in isolation, you’re bound to hit delays. A qualified contractor or subcontractor knows how to create a logical sequence and keep things moving.
5. Follow all local codes and permits
In states like Tennessee and Georgia, codes vary and impact everything from material choices to layout limitations. Ignoring them can lead to costly fines and rework.
