Project Management of home renovation

For any home renovation, there are a range of professionals you can work with besides the builders. Whilst some may hastily look to commence building work, others will take time in the planning and preparation stages by working with residential architects who are able to project manage all of the professions involved, including, an interior designer, a plumber, a carpenter, a builder etc.

In order for your home to be transformed, there is a logical path of services that you can use in any renovation project. For those who want to use a project managing residential architect, here’s a quick guide to the role they can play in your home renovation.Renovation Project Management

Just like any other area of life, someone has to take the lead when it comes to organising each aspect of a task. In home renovation the same principle applies. The residential architect will coordinate people, as well as materials, so that the renovation can be completed successfully and on time.

Where any areas are falling behind, they will be on hand to get the work back on track. The residential architect will also identify any work that needs to be completed, source materials and when required, sign off relevant stages of the renovation.

So what skills does a project managing residential architect require?

Relationship Skills

As they will be liaising with a number of contacts, it’s important that the residential architect is comfortable communicating with other people. From plumbers and electricians to builders and local planners, they need to coordinate everything with military precision.

Without this level of ability, the renovation project runs the risk of going well over in terms of time and also budget.

Industry Knowledge

To manage a renovation project, it’s also important to know who to contact. In crisis situations, a residential architect will need to quickly get hold of the best professionals for the job. Knowing where to turn could be the difference between saving the project, or letting it run over considerably.

Industry knowledge will also help to determine if any quotes are relative to the market or whether they are overpriced. If you were to take lead of the project yourself and jump in at the deep end, you could be paying out left, right and centre with no real comprehension of cost or value. A professional project managing residential architect can handle this aspect of the work for you.

To avoid the stress of organising all tradespeople and having to source materials and compare quotes, why not use a professional project manager. They can make a real difference to any renovation project and once your home is redesigned, you will be able to notice their work for yourself.
