This would be assessed once we have had an initial conversation with yourself to discuss requirements, and also conducted a site visit.
The nature of the home remodel will dictate whether planning permission is required. For the majority of internal home remodelling projects (such as knocking down, moving or erecting new walls) planning permission generally isn’t required. Exceptions however come into play when a property is listed, or falls within a conservation area. Planning permission requirements are always discussed at the time of first contact with Outline Construction.
Typically, the bigger the project, the longer it will take. If you are opting for a full home remodel, this will take longer than a stand-alone room remodel. Each of our home remodel projects are scoped out with in depth timelines during the consultation and quote stage.
Our home remodel projects vary depending on customer needs and requirements. We have undertaken complete home remodels (altering the structure of entire houses), through to more stand-alone remodel projects, such as kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, cellar, garage, and loft remodels.
Each house presents its own distinct characteristics. Consequently, the overall expense associated with remodelling a house can differ significantly. This is why we carry out in an in-depth consultation and site visit ahead of costing every project. From there, options, specs, timelines and costs can be discussed in further detail.
A remodel alters the structure of on object (in this case, a house). This could be as simple as incorporating a new shower into an already established bathroom, through to removing an internal wall or changing the structural layout of a room.
A home renovation or refurbishment on the other hand, focuses on the restoration of something aged to a state of good condition, for example fixing a creaky door or floor, or interior design updates.
Many people mix these terms up (we agree, it’s an easy mistake to make). But whether you are opting for a remodel, renovation or refurbishment, the main thing is that the project is planned out accordingly. This is where Outline comes in.
