FAQs

Question 1

What's the difference between remodelling and renovation?

Accepted Answer

Although many people use these words interchangeably, they've very different meanings in the construction industry. Remodelling refers to altering the structure of a building such as removing or adding walls and other significant changes like this. If you're remodelling a room in your home, you're changing the layout and sometimes even the size of the room completely. Renovations only include minor upgrades like painting or resealing floors or moving cabinets and appliances.

Question 2

What's the best way to keep track of my renovation project?

Accepted Answer

The best way to keep track of your project is by hiring a project manager (PM) or consultant. The PMs featured on ArchiPro manage the entire renovation, ensuring the workers stick to your budget and timeline. They'll also communicate with you frequently to keep you up-to-date on how the project is progressing or any complications that occur.

Question 3

Should you move out during a renovation?

Accepted Answer

Moving out during a renovation isn't required, but it's the best option. Staying in a home undergoing major renovations is stressful and means renovators will have to work around your needs and schedule. These accommodations raise the overall cost, which is why you should consider temporary housing.
