Improve the home you have
A kitchen, bathroom, or whole-home renovation begins with the existing layout and your priorities for daily use. List the rooms involved, what is staying, and any plumbing, electrical, structural, or roof concerns that should be reviewed.
Add space or build a new home
For an addition, consider how the new space will connect to the existing structure and services. For a custom home, start with the homesite, room requirements, architectural direction, and the complete project budget.
Address damage and roof conditions
Share the history of leaks, storm damage, fire, or water intrusion before discussing finishes. Identify any inspection, temporary protection, or specialist work that must happen before reconstruction can be scoped.
Prepare for the first conversation
- Property address and the rooms or building areas involved.
- A short list of must-haves and optional changes.
- Available plans, surveys, prior repair records, or selections.
- Occupancy needs and target dates, with any flexibility noted.
