INFORMED CLIENT GUIDE

Renovation or restoration costs can very greatly between contractors for the same or similar job.  The scope of work, the materials used and the labor costs are generally the biggest factors. You must also consider the cost of your permit, cost for the contractor to manage your project and whether or not you will be required to submit structural drawings.  At the beginning of a project you may have design and planning costs, and while implementing a project you may run into unforeseen issues that must be addressed. Understanding this on the front end of a renovation project allows you to manage costs and achieve your desired outcome while staying within your investment amount. 

We provide a one-year workmanship warranty on all of our projects and any product warranties are assigned to the owner. If any defect is found within the warranty period, the owner must promptly notify New Beginnings Construction in writing to begin the warranty inspection process.  All work is governed by the international building code Standards, ensuring that our work exceeds industry standards and regulatory requirements.  

Renovations can increase property value and provide long-term financial benefits in a number of ways. The biggest impact most people immediately see is the improved aesthetic appeal, and enhancing the everyday functionality.  By increasing energy efficiency, you can see a return on your investment while also aligning with current market trends and buyer preferences, you may even qualify for certain tax incentives. By investing in strategic renovations, homeowners can increase their property's value and enjoy long-term financial benefits for years to come.  

 For most major renovations the answer to this question is Yes. Engineered plans are required by the local permitting office to ensure compliance with local building codes and make the process of compiling the pricing for your renovation much easier. As a rule of thumb consult with an architect or structural engineer to determine if plans are necessary for your specific project. 

Whether you'll need to move out during a renovation depends on the scope of the project, health and safety concerns, noise and disruption, loss of use and accessibility, personal preference, and the duration of the project. Talk to your contractor to get an idea of what to expect and consider your budget for alternative accommodations before making a decision.
