Trust Ottawa’s most experienced Renovator for your large scale renovation project

A large scale renovation or remodeling project is a huge decision and a major investment. Generally a large scale renovation project involves a complete tear down, significant structural changes or a major new addition to the existing property.

Large scale renovation projects have special considerations

While the final renovation will add to your home enjoyment and property value, the fact is the moment you start a teardown, your home will be temporarily depreciated. You need to have complete trust and confidence that your Renovator of choice will be able to expertly address the many remodelling planning and design considerations. For a large scale remodelling or renovation project, these include:

• Stress on the existing foundation and structural framing.
• Out dated electrical wiring and new power loads.
• Complete redesign considerations to facilitate traffic flow and layout.
• New mechanical systems such as heating and AC.
• Cost-value proposition to determine if it is worth renovating or simply moving.
• Finish material selections for the newly renovated space.
• Existing footprint of home and consideration of optional locations on your property.
• And many others.
