04 - Selecting your Trades

This article is about home renovation, and I've got a simple yet powerful tool to assist you with one of the most critical steps in your project:

Selection of Trade Professionals

Finding your trades

We've all heard the horror stories about renovation projects, but they don't represent all professionals in the industry. Many contractors, architects, and designers are dedicated to delivering high-quality work and building a good reputation.

This worksheet is designed to help you effectively compare the professionals you meet, looking at various factors beyond just the quote. It's a valuable resource to ensure you're making an informed choice.

The worksheet focuses on four main areas.

  1. Your Impressions

  2. The Submittal

  3. The Experience

  4. The company

Without a clear selection process, it's easy to get swayed by the cheapest quote or a gut feeling. Imagine feeling confident and focused when meetings with contractors and designers for your home renovation.

Give it a try and let me know how helpful you find it. Your feedback is always appreciated.
