Start afresh with a comprehensive renovation of your house

July 7, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

The state of your home is obviously a matter of some pride. It makes sense to take a very keen approach to the upkeep of your home, but sometimes the odd minor improvement just isn’t enough. If your London home is starting to show its age as far as the interiors are concerned then it might be time to look at putting into effect a more comprehensive renovation.

There’s only so many times you can dress up your interiors by redecorating and refurbishing on a small scale before it becomes apparent that a deeper job is needed. At this point, you need to get the professionals in. Building companies in London are used to dealing with properties that have a great deal of history so you can expect a great deal of respect and professionalism when you contract them to work on your home.

By investing in a thorough renovation of your home, you can start from scratch with your interior design and benefit from a fresh, clean slate on which to work. This is the ideal basis from which to revamp your home and make it more appropriate and aesthetically pleasing for your modern family.

Modern living influenced by minimalist design

July 1, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Modern interior design is incredibly attractive and a lot of people are updating their homes in order to create a more contemporary environment. The great thing about a lot of modern interior design is that it is influenced quite strongly by minimalism.

Minimalistic design involves removing all unnecessarily embellishments so that you are left with a much cleaner and less fussy interior atmosphere. Whilst minimalism probably takes this to the extreme, a lot of interior designers take the central theme and influence of the movement on board when renovating older homes in order to make them feel brighter and more contemporary.

There’s just something very sophisticated in the clean lines and neutral tones found in many modern interior renovations that help to brighten the atmosphere and make it feel spacious and comfortable.

If you like the idea of a home whose interiors are influenced by minimalist design then it might be time to get the professionals involved. Professional architects and interior designers are capable of transforming even the most dated interiors into really stylish and contemporary spaces ideal for modern living.

Sourcing builders and designers under a common project management firm

July 1, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Finding builders to help turn your modernisation plans into a reality is all about knowing where to look and who to trust. London is chock full of skilled tradesmen who are capable of transforming your property, but it is all about how the project is managed that really makes it a success.

Project management is necessarily about communication. This is made much easier if the project manager for your modernisation project is actually part of a company that can also handle the design and architecture and the actual building work that needs to be done.

The obvious benefit here is that communication is much easier within the boundaries of a single company offering a range of services instead of trying to bring a host of different tradesmen together for a single project working for diverse firms and organisations.

Concerning property renovation, London is definitely one of the leading cities in the UK. There are experts in building renovation available for consultation whose expertise lies in a number of different fields, including design, architecture, building and interior design – all very important disciplines when it comes to effective and attractive refurbishments.

Extensive home improvement via professional house renovation

June 29, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Although a great many renovation projects in the capital take place because homeowners want to give their interiors a brand new look, there are also a number of very important practical considerations that motivate people to get in touch with experience architects and interior designers.

Renovating the home is sometimes made necessary by the fact that the very structure of your home is starting to show its age. The walls, floors, ceilings and so on are in serious need of attention simply in the name of proper home maintenance. Calling the designers in is an effective way of dealing with these issues.

It is also important to remember that a lot of older properties in London do not possess the efficiency and energy-saving attributes of more modern homes. As a result, they do not necessarily deal with modern living in the best way. Again, it is entirely appropriate to have designers and builders in London look at ways to effect home improvements if this is the case.

Renovating extensively is often the best way to make sure your home continues to meet your needs and the needs of your family.

Professional project management for greater efficiency

June 25, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Project management can be an extremely difficult discipline because the nature of the work involves communicating with such a wide range of people. Building projects are reliant upon their project manager because it is the project manager that schedules all the work that needs to be done and generally makes sure the project is going to plan.

Some people act as their own project managers when they need renovation work doing on their homes, but this is a risky option. Working with professional project managers is favourable if you want your renovation work done as efficiently as possible and with the minimum disruption to yourself as possible.

Working with a design and build company is a really sensible option, because a professional project manager will be assigned to your specific job. You will liaise with your project manager whenever you need to talk over your project and they will communicate with you and the people involved in your renovation to find the right solutions.

Project managers for professional design and build companies in London also benefit from the fact that the builders and designers they are working with all work for the same team. This is an advantage that is passed on to you via the efficiency of the project.

Buckingham Palace renovation is good value

June 24, 2015 By Tyler Mandic

The renovation of Buckingham palace might seem an awful lot of money to spend on a renovation and it could boggle the mind to everyday homeowners. However, the key difference for this renovation project is that it is in fact a restoration, not a renovation. The £150m price tag could seem far too much to spend on a single building but it is one of the most iconic buildings in the world and a trophy in our overseas treasure chest.

TylerMandic renovate some of the most luxurious properties for the world’s most discerning property owners in the Royal Boroughs of Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster. Luxury residential property renovation or refurbishment costs typically range between £2,000 and £2,750 per square metre. Using fine marbles, exquisite materials and sumptuous fabrics, the costs can soon escalate and literally go through the roof up to £7000 per square metre.

When you consider the 77,000 Sq Ms of space in the palace, the cost of £1,948 / Square Metre looks like incredibly fair value for the tax payer and her majesty. What are your thoughts?

Aesthetics are behind a great many renovation projects

June 24, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

One of the main motivations for people looking to renovate their home is aesthetics. Aesthetics is obviously hugely important in the place you live because you want to feel happy that your home reflects your personal tastes and preferences. Homes that meet your expectations in an aesthetic sense are often much more comfortable for you and your family.

Since aesthetics is such a motivation, it is important to know that there are professional interior designers out there whose input you can take advantage of when you have your property renovated. An even better option is to choose building company that boasts a team of in-house interior designers who can move in and take control of your project once it has gone beyond the architectural and building stages.

Fortunately, there are interior designers in London who work with architects and builders as part of the same venture. The idea behind this approach is to ensure that you are in control of your project from beginning to end and you only need one point of contact to make sure that everything runs as smoothly as you would hope.

Avoid contracting separate companies for the different stages of your renovation

June 19, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Design and build companies in London are your first port of call when you need some work doing to the interior of your property – perhaps to modernise its design, bring it into the twenty-first century or address issues related to the energy-efficiency of your home.

It always makes sense to contact a design and build company that can facilitate all of the relevant stages of work that needs to be done. The stages you are likely to need to look at will include architectural work, building work and interior design. You will also need a project manager to oversee the whole project.

Whilst it is possible to try and secure separate firms to carry out each stage for you, this is risky because it raises the chances of your project running into problems related to miscommunication, poor scheduling and so on. In real terms, this means your project may take longer, cost more and may not turn out the way you hoped that it would.

Instead, you should look for property renovation experts in London who offer all of these different disciplines within the same outfit. That way you can be certain your project will run smoothly and the result will be stunning.

Refurbishment provides the basis for a new interior design scheme

June 17, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Interior design is something that most home owners try their hand at at some point. This is simply because people generally want to make the most of the space they have at their disposal and they want that space to satisfy their tastes and preferences. Even hanging a few pictures or introducing a few soft furnishings can be classed as dabbling in interior design.

However, it is sometimes the case that interior design has to start at a much deeper level. When surface changes and embellishments aren’t quite enough, you have to get to grips with the actual structure of the room.

It is best to let the professionals take over if this is the kind of interior design project you need to undertake. However, you can exercise a lot of control over the project by working alongside experienced designers to produce plans that meet your personal preferences and which are acceptable in terms of the structural integrity of your property.

For refurbishment, London has an excellent reputation. This is because its interior designers and building professionals are dedicated and practiced in the art of facilitating wonderful interior renovations on which to base your new decorative scheme.
