House Renovation Bristol : Planning and Budgeting
To ensure that your house renovation project is profitable and is finished on schedule, you need to plan and budget in advance. A checklist can ensure you don’t forget any important elements that would otherwise see you going over budget. Before you start, make sure your home is authorised for renovations. If you have purchased a listed home, you will need permission to do even the simplest things such as painting the external walls. If you live in a conservation area, you will also have a lot of rules and regulations that you must follow.
Contractors
The most important part of planning your house renovation Bristol based is choosing the best contractors for the job. BBN can put you in touch with the best builders and tradesmen for your needs. We specialise in listed buildings, new builds, and anything in between. This means that we will supply you with a team that is fit for the job, experienced, and who are properly insured to carry out the building work at hand.
Check with your home contents insurance providers to see if you are covered for building works; if not, ensure that you take out the appropriate insurance or check that it is included in the price provided by your contractors. If you have recently purchased the property for renovation purposes, then you won’t have valid insurance to cover any work to be carried out. Insurance will also cover you for other aspects of your project such as theft of materials from site, and public liability insurance. If your home is a neglected property you have bought cheaply, ensure that you have the build surveyed before you start work. This is another area of expertise that Bristol Builders Network can help you with.
