REIMAGINING YOUR SPACE

Whether you’re house hunting for a new home or ready to reimagine your current space, there’s one step we always recommend before you get started, understanding the structure of your home. Load bearing walls and roof structure play an important role in design + budget and we always like to consult with a licensed contractor and draftsman prior to beginning any project.

For example, our #jugadorhill home had the square footage that we desired but the layout needed to be reworked. While in escrow we consulted with our contractor on a general scope of work + budget and decided to move forward with having plans drawn up.

The benefit of having plans drawn up gave us a better idea of what our overall project cost would be, which helped informed other spending decisions we were considering.

Pro tip: Hiring a draftsman vs. an architect will save you money.
