    How to budget for a home renovation project

    One of the most common questions people have during their preliminary research is about cost.
    Perhaps you’ve called a few renovation companies, shared your ideas, and gotten some excitement brewing about the creative possibilities.

    At this point, you would like to have at least a ballpark estimate of what will be required to accomplish the goals you've set for yourself. We think the best way to help you with this is to give you a framework in which to think about your project.

    Renovation Project Cost Estimates

    Project cost estimates are driven by multiple factors such as:

    • the scope and complexity of the project description
    • the age, physical condition, and construction quality of the house
    • type of construction of the house
    • the level of expertise and resources required of the renovation company 

    Not all renovation companies offer the same services.

    The differentiating factor between companies is in how those services are delivered and what additional resources and expertise beyond the basics will be required to design, build and project manage your home renovation project.
