Long overdue or even a sudden necessity, the first step before getting started will be to ensure the viability of your home renovation project. As a matter of fact, the analysis of this feasibility should be structured around these 3 essential elements: 

  • Your needs
  • Regulations and requirements inherent to the building
  • The possible budget range
  

 

Needs analysis

 

The list can be short or long. Therefore, the important thing will be to segment this list in order of essentiality and priority by segmenting it into 4 parts:

  1. Essential needs for the renovation project
  2. Desires to be fulfilled in the project
  3. What you want to avoid in your project
  4. Your expectations in the progress of the project

At this point, your list of essential needs and wants may exceed the anticipated budget. Our job will be to present you with the optimal scenario for meeting your needs, within a budgetary perspective with which you will be comfortable. Now is the time to be transparent, in order to validate your renovation project viability. We are listening to you.

Regulations and requirements inherent to the building

 

Each municipality or district governs renovation with its own regulations and each building was designed according to a type of architecture and technique specific to its era. These elements must be taken into consideration when carrying out a renovation project.

For example, for each plot of land, a limited percentage of land occupation by the building will be allowed. It is easy to understand that planning an expansion of the building must be done within the proportions provided for by the regulations.

After classifying your needs according to your priorities, we can guide you with possible scenarios.

Basically, thanks to its expertise as an experienced designer-renovator, ESPÉ takes care of everything for you.

The possible budget range to carry out the project

 

The greatest added value of an experienced designer-renovator is the budgetary anchor he brings to realistic planning. From the beginning of your project, increasingly throughout the design and finally during the renovation, our budgetary acumen will keep you away from the disaster scenarios too often experienced by those who embark poorly prepared on their renovation project. What is designed well is built well!
