HELPING HOMEOWNERS ONE RENOVATION AT A TIME
By Caroline Wright
Are you thinking about rebuilding, adding on or constructing a new home from scratch? If you’re like most people, you might be overwhelmed by all of the things you need to consider. Budget, materials, design, family preferences, ordinances and codes... Where to begin?
Through its free virtual seminars and in-person contractor’s open houses, Atlas Construction offers the expertise of a team whose commitment and creativity have driven hundreds of projects to successful completion.
Here are several tips on how to approach your project with the confidence that comes from knowing you’ve done everything you can to make it a success.
Get to know your contractor
You can save yourself a million headaches by learning as much as you can about your contractor’s prior work and professional reputation. A respectable contractor will meet with you multiple times and provide
references and addresses of completed projects. They will also tell you about the type and quality of materials used in their construction projects.
Keep green within your budget
Building an environmentally conscious home is a noble endeavor, but a full green-
build could be costly. Atlas Construction helps families find a comfortable level. They’ll offer different estimates to give you options that will fit best with your budget. They are up to date with the newer products to help homeowners find balance with what they’ll able to afford.
Build for your family’s future
It’s very hard for most of us to imagine our “golden years,” much less plan a house in which we will spend those years. A good contractor will ask you plenty of questions about the ages and lifestyles of everybody in your family, and if any of you will age in place in the home.
Have an open mind
As you plan for your project, remember that some of your ideas might be difficult for your contractor to execute exactly as you’ve envisioned them. Most families have an idea of what they want, but they don’t necessarily understand everything that’s involved.
Atlas Construction offers pros and cons of implementing your ideas and is committed to educating you about every aspect of the build so that what you end up with is much better than what you first envisioned. They offer practical solutions so that your dream home of today could be a better home for your future.
