Get “M.O.R.E.” Out of Your Remodel

Simple, early planning will dramatically enhance your next remodeling experience, according to Harvey Bondar, President of HouseWorks, a Diamond Certified company. Clear understanding of the motivation and expected outcome of a project saves time, focuses your investment, eases decision making and assists your contractor in delivering the best possible result.

The planning approach Houseworks uses is called the “M.O.R.E.” process. What is your Motivation for the project? Here’s where you examine why you’re considering the project.  Is it personal satisfaction or to increase your home’s marketability?  Next consider your Options. Should you knock out a wall or keep the same footprint – at what trade-off?  Realism is where budget constraints and code regulations are examined.  And the final piece is Execution where you and your general contractor lay out in detail what has to be done to complete a successful project.
