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.

Refurbishment is an exciting part of moving into a new home

June 16, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Moving home is often cited as being one of the most stressful experiences in everyday life, but let’s not forget that it is also very exciting. Moving house represents a really positive change because it gives you the opportunity to upgrade your living arrangements so that they suit you and your family better and they match your personal tastes more closely.

If you’re moving house in London then you might have settled on one of the city’s impressive older properties because of its character, size and location. This represents a very good choice. London’s townhouses are among the most attractive and the most celebrated in the world.

However, your house might need a bit of attention before you actually move in. This is something you ought to budget for when you buy your new home. For house renovation, London is generally at the cutting edge because of the wealth of design and building talent the capital attracts.

If a full scale refurbishment is on your agenda before you move your family in to your new place, make sure to go with a firm that can offer a full range of architectural, building and design solutions as part of the same inclusive package.

Discussing the procedures involved in a property renovation project (Part 2)

June 10, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Once you have decided on a suitable team of professionals to help realise the vision outline din your rudimentary plans for a renovation, it is time to invite them to discuss what they can do for you. The very first stage will involve the design team.

The design team will listen to your demands and preferences and will go about turning your rudimentary designs into a workable plan. At this stage, they will also consult with builders and architects in order to ensure all your preferences are possible given the structure of your home and suitable alternatives will be offered in case any problems arise.

Now it is time for the architects and builders to do their bit. Since each team is in constant contact with the others and the whole project is presided over by a dedicated project manager, the building process can be completed as quickly and as smoothly as possible to minimise disruption in your home.

Finally, once the building work has been finished, your interior designers can take over. They will work very closely alongside you in order to get the right finish so that you are happy with the final appearance of your renovation.

Discussing the procedures involved in a property renovation project (Part 1)

June 9, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

If a comprehensive renovation of your London home is something you have drafted into your home improvement plans for the near future, then it is important you gain a little bit of insight into the procedures involves in such a project. If you are using one of London’s reputable design and build companies then this process is likely to be a good deal easier.

First of all, it is up to you to start thinking about what you really want from your renovation. It may simply be a case of modernising your interiors so that they are more suited to modern lifestyle and contemporary interior design. However, you may also want to take into account other considerations like eco-friendly solutions and so on.

Once you’ve drawn up some rudimentary plans of your own it is time to involve the professionals. For property renovation, London is really well-served by teams of builders, designers and architects, but the best option is to go for a company that draws all of these individual disciplines into the same body as a means of promoting better communication and ultimately delivering a better service.

The next article continues looking at the procedures involved in property renovation.

5 advantages of working with a residential architect

June 8, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

Planning to embark on a renovation or refurbishment project in West London? You may think you’re a dab hand at drawing and can take accurate measurements, you may even be tempted to take the design of your home on yourself, or hire a contractor to prepare the drawings without considering the expertise of a professional architect. After all, you know what’s best for your home, right?

Understandably, you want to know the completed works will be exactly as you had imagined them to be; completed within your timescales, and that your renovation project hasn’t cost any more than it should have. All of this is possible, but you may just have underestimated how complex projects can be, and it a lot easier to achieve and more likely that you will achieve it with a professional residential architect on your side.

How does a renovation by a design and build team come about? (Part 1)

June 8, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

It’s pertinent to ask what goes on when you arrange to have work done by a design and build company. Design and build companies are important when you need to put a bit of renovation work into effect because they can deal with a range of different disciplines on your behalf.

First of all, your project will be assigned a project manager. This is an important stage in itself because it sets up a point of contact for all the work that is being done. Clarifying the chain of command and communication in this manner helps to make the likelihood of a smooth operation much greater.

Once this step has been taken, the design step will begin. You, your project manager and the team of designers assigned to your project will begin to work through some ideas. Obviously your own influence will take precedence as all the renovation work is meant to satisfy your own needs.

However, your project manager and your team of designers will be able to bring a whole host of suggestions to the table. Their experience and creativity can be really useful in this regard.

Successful renovation rests upon strong working relationships

June 7, 2015 By tylermandic Leave a Comment

The essence of a great renovation project lies in the interaction between each important discipline involved in rendering the changes. When there is a strong and productive relationship between all the working elements of the project, the chances of success are much greater and the probability of everything coming to fruition on time and on budget is much more favourable.

Consider the relevant disciplines that must converge successfully for a timely and fruitful renovation. You must have designers and architects on hand to commit your plans to concrete blueprints for the job. You must also have a dedicated team of builders who can work with these plans in order to arrange a schedule and to effect all construction work. Finally, you need interior designers capable of applying the finishing touches to give the renovation its crowning glory.

Of course, one element left undiscussed is that of project management. Effective project management is where the interaction between each discipline really hinges. This is why project management firms are in such demand, especially in London where property renovation is so widespread and crucial. In order to achieve the best results, look for a design and build company that resists the schism of fractured relationships between different disciplines with renovation.
