]]>If you wish to become a contractor, you need to know what it actually takes to be one as it’s not just about overseeing the whole renovation project. Contractors are, first and foremost, responsible for working with clients to clarify their ideas, present with possibilities and turn the plans that their clients have into an actual, workable plan that can be executed with regards to the budget that the client has. As far as the money goes, it’s the client that says how much they are willing to spend on the project.
However, it’s the contractor who draws up a budget and timeline for the work based on the plan that they made and the ideas that the client gave. The preparation process is one big case of back and forth negotiations between what the client dreams about and what they can actually get for the money they have. In most cases, the contractor is responsible for buying all the materials needed to complete the project, hiring people who will do the actual work and meeting with building inspectors to get permits or solve any problems.
Knowing all that it takes to be a contractor, it’s good to know that most of those abilities come from personality traits and not necessarily training courses. However, there are some places that require contractors to obtain licenses and certificates in order to legally work as a contractor. In most cases, it’s enough to finish up a training course or, as it becomes more popular now, get a degree in building, engineering, design or anything connected to such work. After all, it’s not the degree you have but the portfolio that speaks for your work and that one comes straight from years of experience.

]]>For decades basements were serving just a constructional purpose of holding up the house and seen as just that. There have been even times when the basement was scratched out completely and the houses were sprawling out on the land instead. Now, basements are coming back again because constructors see it as a practical solution to build spacious houses and save on the land at the same time. If you live in an older house and happen to have a basement, nothing’s lost. By renovating, you can get as much as double the space you have now and that’s just with a simple painting and flooring job most of the times. Think about the basement as a room that never gets finished. If it was in the middle of the house, it would bother you every day, wouldn’t it. We think it’s time to start treating the basement the same way.
For many people the value of the house is in the high-end finishes and add-ons that make it seem far more expensive than it actually is. What they don’t see is that they are wasting precious space that could actually add to the value of the house and make its price jump up – the basement. It doesn’t have to be that messy, grey, gloom storage space. Instead, try thinking of it as a place for fun, games, relax, office or anything you feel like is missing in your house. If you ever think about selling, people who buy will appreciate that all the houses on the market are two bedroom and yours, same size at first glance, has more than that. That’s what we call a worthy investment.
