Another great article with another great set of tips to ponder when looking at remodeling your home:

Effective planning is the key to effective renovation. If you are planning the renovation yourself, focus on the bigger picture and the smaller parts.
Remodeling anything in your house is easy with professional tips and tricks.
If you hire an architect firm, it will access your home, requirement and budget, and that would be a good way to start.
Or better still, hire a contractor. The firm may not be able to see what you visualise but it could get you close. Have a few meetings and get the firm to draw up a plan. Look at its past projects and work from there.
Tan Guan Han, founder of Sonicon Construction, said: “It is easy to picture the desired outcome of your project but it does involve navigating variables such as timeline, budget, contractors and structural elements.
“For many of us, it can be a tough, challenging and fun process. Plus, you always have to expect the unexpected, as there seems to always be unique surprises that can easily cause the project to experience notorious delays and over spending,” he said.
