Having been involved in various renovation projects over the years, we’ve drawn some key conclusions about managing renovation projects effectively:

1. Work with a Single Responsible Company

It’s always better to hire one company to take full responsibility for the entire renovation process. This approach helps you avoid conflicts that often arise when multiple contractors or entrepreneurs are involved, each with their own scope of work and accountability.

2. Insist on Fixed Prices and Clear Contracts

Ask for fixed-price contracts and ensure that the scope of work is clearly defined. An important tip is to also ask what is not included in the contract rather than focus on  what is included. This helps prevent common misunderstandings, such as:

"I was contracted to install parquet, not to remove the old one."

"I was hired to install the kitchen but not to handle the white goods."

"I was contracted to install a door not the handle" and so on

3. Understand the Dynamics of the Renovation Process

The relationship between a construction company and a private customer can often be challenging. It’s normal for private customers to lack expertise in the details of a renovation project, and that’s why clear communication is essential.

4. Compare Offers Wisely

When starting a renovation, it’s advisable to get offers from multiple companies. While it’s natural to compare prices and lean toward the cheapest option, remember that not all companies provide the same level of quality or scope of service.

Some companies intentionally provide less detailed offers to secure the lowest price and win the contract. This can lead to incomplete work or unexpected costs down the line when tasks are found to be excluded.

5. Ensure You Get What You Want

To avoid disappointment, ensure the offer explicitly covers all the work you expect. Take the time to review and compare not just the prices but also the level of detail, quality, and scope in each proposal. A comprehensive and transparent offer often leads to fewer surprises and better overall satisfaction.

By following these principles, you can minimize risks and ensure your renovation project runs smoothly, with results that meet your expectations.

Final thoughts
