So beautiful - and yet suddenly so expensive A new office, an extension for large children's rooms, bringing more light into the living room with generous window fronts. Some dreams seem surprisingly affordable. If only one had thought of the follow-up costs.
Renovations and remodels are much more costly than many people think. Properly assessing bids and estimates is usually difficult. Inexperienced builders are always making mistakes when planning a remodel.
In order for you to keep construction costs under control, I believe that detailed planning documents are essential for cost-conscious planning. A building survey that accurately reflects the building with all its uniqueness is worth its weight in gold here.
I am sure that you as an architect will appreciate it if you can do your planning in a high quality 3D model. And not have to try to cobble together a roughly accurate picture of the building from old 2D plans.
If you budget wisely, you will quickly realize that the price of a professional building survey, which may seem high at first glance, is only a small item in the overall construction budget.
