The steps of your preparation for the first meeting
To prepare properly, we have an action plan that will allow us to get off to a good start. It involves considering a few key elements before our meeting. This will allow us to be more efficient and, above all, to design a project that truly reflects your needs.
1. Prepare your list of wants and needs
To ensure our meeting is a success, we suggest doing a short exercise: analyzing your needs. The idea is to put everything on paper so we can then build the scenario that best fits your vision. Here are the four elements to consider for this list:
Your essential needs for the renovation project (the “minimum requirement”)
Your more optional desires that you would like to fulfill
Sensitive elements to avoid during the execution of your project
Your expectations regarding the personalization of our approach
Together, we will ensure that our solution checks as many boxes as possible on your list, keeping in mind what is truly important to you.
2. Consider the ideal balance between cost, time, and quality
When it comes to a renovation project, there’s always a balance to be struck between quality, time, and cost. It’s up to you to communicate what’s most important to you.
Quality: How far are you willing to go for impeccable workmanship and high-quality materials? We can certainly ensure that every detail is perfect, but this can influence the cost and timeframe.
Timeframe: Do you have a deadline, such as a baby or a move? If so, it’s crucial to tell us. This will allow us to plan the project around this time constraint.
Cost: Whether your goal is to stick to a tight budget or get the best return on investment, transparency on this point is essential. We’ll work with you to find solutions and compromises that respect your budget.
How you weigh these three elements will guide us in designing and carrying out your project.
3. Gather all your ideas
Finally, we encourage you to gather all the information you’ve already gathered. Whether it’s Pinterest searches, inspirational photos, or even approaches you’ve already made with your borough, everything is welcome. Share your dreams with us, from the simplest to the wildest, and we’ll put our creativity to work to bring your vision to fruition.
The next step
Once you’ve gathered all this information and we’ve validated it together during our initial meeting, we can define and present a project scenario for discussion. We can’t wait to learn more!
