From the Mind of the Customer

Your imagination is at work and you've done your homework. You have a blueprint, priced the materials and shopped around for the appliances and floors, tiles or cabinetry. 
You now need to add the labor to the mix and you don't want that to exceed your budget. Therefore, choosing the right subcontractor or general contractor to keep the mistakes (which drain the budget) and anticipate the problems (that will surely come up) will keep the contingency fund without expanding uncontrollably.

Planning and Selecting Materials

Careful material selection and installation counts when the project is starting. Choosing the right wood sometimes is easier than choosing the right color. Selecting marble over porcelain can be expensive but the difference can sometimes be subtle. Compromising with both options can be a time and money saver if done right.

Attention to Detail is Important

With attention to detail your project will be valued more than the material itself. You can have expensive materials ruined by poor workmanship. Yet you can have affordable materials look like an expensive option if done properly.

Know your Options

There are literally thousands of combinations for your project. From the different types of hardwood, to the myriad choices in tile, you can quickly overrun your budget if not aware of all your options. Visualize the project with a competent general contractor so you won't be surprised after the installation is complete.

Anticipate Problems and be Prepared

A lot of things can go wrong in a project. From missing permits to surprises the gamma is wide and unexpected. Preparation is key to success and with the proper contractor your chances of unexpected issues diminish  considerably. Measure twice and cut once!
