Using your team of builders and creatives to maximum effect

March 27, 2017 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

It is hard to know exactly what it takes to complete a design and build project that is geared towards turning your London property into a more modern home. It is only natural that you, the homeowner, should have an idea about the things you want to get out of the project, but that does not mean that you will have all the answers when it comes to finding the best route to your desired result.

This is what great project managers are for. Experienced project managers will listen to your plans and they will already be visualising a way of getting the project off the ground. Project managers also know how to communicate your ideas so that the people in charge of each stage of the renovation – the architects, the builders, the interior designers and so on – all have a clear idea of the result they are working towards.

This creative team will come together to produce a thorough set of plans complete with detailed drawings showing exactly how the project will come together and how it will look in the end. You need to use the experience and innovation of your creative team to make the most of your ideas.

Delaying your move in order to spruce up your London home

March 18, 2017 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Before you move into your impressive new property in the capital it is worth asking yourself whether a few modifications might be in order. Is the house perfectly suitable for you and your family? Are there any stylistic changes you need to make in order to make it more expressive of your personal tastes? Are there any practical matters that need attending to that would be best looked at before you move in?

It is always better to have these ideas clear in your mind so that you can have them looked at in advance. The upheaval associated with extensive building and architectural work can cause considerable disruption, so be sure you know what lies ahead before you commit to the move.

In the case of period properties and related house renovation London is home to some of the best architects and builders in the business. Their expertise can help you to realise your vision when it comes to restoring the period features of your property’s interiors or expressing more contemporary attitudes within a period setting. However, modernising in this fashion takes time, so be prepared to delay your move accordingly.

Renovating your house in the name of greater comfort

January 25, 2017 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

It is really important that you feel as comfortable as possible in your own home. The home is the place you come to at the end of the day to enjoy a bit of relaxation. It is somewhere that needs to resonate with you on a more comforting basis so that you can enjoy the time you spend there.

If you home is not comfortable enough then you may need to have it renovated. Sometimes a more superficial redecoration project just isn’t enough to make the wholesale changes that you suspect are in order if you want your home to be as comfortable as possible.

House renovation does not just help to make the house more comfortable in terms of its feel and its appearance. Renovation often gets to grips with other matters behind the scenes, such as the ability your house has to retain warmth. All these things add to your comfort in your living spaces.

Once you have had your house renovated, you can move on to the decorating stage. Your interior design will add the finishing touches to make the place a truly comfortable place to live.

Following the architectural trend of mixing modern with period

November 30, 2016 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

One of the brilliant trends that you will find in some of the older public buildings in London is to juxtapose original and period features alongside more modern renovations. Modern renovations look stunning in period settings and this is a trend that is visible in many of the museums and galleries in London and around the world.

These renovations are often the work of esteemed architects, but the trend is also evident in less ambitious projects that take place on a domestic level. It is possible, for instance, to have your period home in London renovated so that it benefits from some stunning modern features as well as its beautiful period features.

If your house in need of some attention, then it may well be worth looking at incorporating a more contemporary twist into any renovation work you were planning on having carried out. When it comes to architects London is home to far more than the famous names associated with the renovations of galleries and museums. The city has plenty more talent with domestic agendas that you can make use of personally.

Catalogue your influences so they can influence your renovation design

August 22, 2016 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Most people know what it is like to visit a friend or a member of the family and to take a real liking to the way they have treated their interiors. It is only natural to take inspiration for your own interior design from the places you visit and the rooms you see when you are going about your daily life. The important thing is to note down all of the things that really make an impression on you so that the ideas are ready when you eventually decide to do something about your décor.

It might be that you want to do something quite extensive with your interior design, in which case it is actually really beneficial to have professional renovators in mind to manage the entire project. However, you will obviously have to meet and talk through your expectations of the project.

This is when the catalogue of ideas you have built up over time becomes really useful. It means that you can start to draft the things that have made an impression on you over time into your new plans and they can start to influence the design of your renovation to make sure that you are really happy with the results.

Open plan renovations often attract buyers

April 26, 2016 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

One of the most positive things you can do with a house that you intend to sell on after buying relatively cheaply in the capital is to open up the space to make it more attractive. You probably have plenty of maintenance work and repairs on your list of priorities because these are the things that will see your investment increase in market value quickly if the house is not currently up to scratch.

However, certain aesthetic changes help you to see dramatic rises in value and there is nothing quite like opening up the downstairs areas in terms of satisfying modern attitudes to interior design. People love open spaces so if you are looking to sell on your investment for a healthy price, you might want to consider an open plan renovation.

London renovators are used to working with domestic spaces in order to create brighter and more spacious living areas out of dark, cramped or generally unimaginative interiors. Their skills come in incredibly handy when you are looking to turn the house you have acquired into something people will want to buy.

Why it is beneficial to use a company wherein builders and architects are united

January 4, 2016 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Independent architects are builders can be very difficult to manage. If your London home is in need of some serious attention in terms of its interior design, then you’ll need the expertise of both sets of professionals in order to facilitate a really impressive renovation. However, it can be daunting trying to organise operations with both groups.

This is why it is generally advantageous to employ a design and build company that comprises of architects and builders within the same team. It’s impossible to overstate the positives of taking this approach because it will ultimately save you a good deal of trouble and may even save you money.

A firm that is made up of reputable builders and architects in London is likely to be able to deliver a much smoother service than a series of different factions offering their services independently. There is much less chance of things being overlooked when one company takes full charge of a renovation project.

Furthermore, your project will be free to run as smoothly as possible as you won’t be faced with the difficulties associated with setting up a workable timetable for each different group. Instead, a dedicated project manager will deal with all this for you.

The potential of London houses to accommodate commercial ventures

December 24, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Turning a house into a commercial building is obviously quite a tall order. You need to satisfy all of the important requirements of the commercial space you are looking to benefit from. Some of the houses in London are incredibly versatile when it comes to turning them into workplaces, but you need to have the expertise of skilful designers on your side.

Designers in London are certainly capable of converting London homes into suitable London offices, shops, practices and salons. However, many of them are capable of doing much more than this. They can turn your London property into a really stunning architectural example of how the modern meets the historical.

Preserving the heritage and the architectural integrity of London houses is high on the list of priorities of London architects, even when those houses are being renovated in order to accommodate commercial enterprises. Since lots of commercial ventures demand modern interiors, designers and builders in London must rise to the occasion in order to meet both demands.

When it comes to architects London is home to some outstanding creative teams. It is these teams you want in charge of your project so that your property becomes a practical and visually impressive workplace.

Renovations are best approached in a single package

December 17, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Consistency and teamwork are absolutely crucial to the success of any building project. However, these values are not always easy to achieve. Difficulties often arise because of miscommunication and a lack of togetherness when it comes to putting certain practices into action and this can cause a project to stall which leads to logistical problems and issues related to your budget.

The key is to avoid situations like this arising at every opportunity, but this can be difficult when you are dealing with a collection of independent, unconnected contractors. If your architects, builders, interior designers and project managers are not all singing from the same hymn sheet then problems are likely to occur.

Fortunately, London is home to some very reputable companies that specialise in bringing all of these different elements of a project under one roof. If your architects, interior designers and builders all work for the same building company in London, then everyone has the same common goal and your renovation project will benefit immensely.

If you to reduce the risk of communication problems and misunderstandings between different contributors to your project, then seek out a professional design and build company that can deliver each discipline as part of a single package.
