Before Hiring a General Contractor

May 29, 2015 by prisminteriors

When you’re looking to enhance the look and value of your home, you’ll want to hire an experienced general contractor like Prism Interiors. Before you pick up the phone and get the project underway, here are some things you should do to ensure a smooth project:

Determine the Project Scope

A general contractor can make any design idea come to life, but you need to know what you want first. Do you want to create a mudroom? Gut the kitchen? Bring the style of your living room into this century? Take the time to sit down and figure out what needs to change to make your home more functional or aesthetically pleasing.
Your project scope can be as small or large as you wish, and as simple or complex as need be. Once you determine the project scope, you can hire a general contractor to see the project through to fruition. Without a clear vision, you can spend a lot of money and time and still never get the changes you were hoping to see.

Find Inspiration

Once you determine which rooms you wish to renovate, next you must come up with a design plan. Two identical homes can be completely transformed with renovations depending on the selection of materials. You can find inspiration from anywhere – remodeling magazines, how-to renovation websites, home and garden TV shows. At Prism Interiors, we can help offer design inspiration if you need a creative spark. We have extensive experience with designing and executing stunning custom renovations for homeowners throughout the Calgary area, and will apply this experience to benefit the look of your home.

Custom Requests

At Prism Interiors, we can adhere to any custom requests needed to bring your dream project to life. You may wish to use repurpose existing materials for cost savings or for sentimental reasons. Perhaps you would like to use exclusively made-in-Canada materials, or consider using eco-friendly products. Whatever your unique situation happens to be, a general contractor like Prism Interiors will follow your wishes.

Once you have thought these three things through, you have everything you need to take the next step and hire a general contractor. If you would like any more information, contact Prism Interiors today. We’d be happy to discuss your project ideas and start the process of transforming your vision into reality.
