  1. How To Plan A Flawless NYC Apartment Renovation In 4 Simple Steps

  2. Renovating an apartment in NYC need not be fraught with difficulties and challenges, but often, they are, and this is usually because the person planning the renovation, hasn’t sought professional help from a local, experienced general contractor. Here are 4 simple steps, that when executed with appropriate guidance from a professional, can help you avoid the many pitfalls that can blight even the most sophisticated of apartment renovations: Step one Calculating the budget

  3. The only way to avoid underestimating the actual cost of renovating your NYC apartment (which is the biggest and costliest mistake most apartment owners make), is to begin with a detailed budget that includes every possible aspect of the project, including: labor, materials, permits and possible contingencies (it’s advisable to keep between 10% and 20% of your budget for this). Hidden costs such as permit fees, structural issues that crop up, or the rising cost of labor, can quickly inflate your budget, leaving you unable to continue the project, or forced to omit certain features. When reaching out to a contractor for a quote, be sure to approach more than one (otherwise you won’t know which is a good deal, and which isn’t), and make sure they breakdown the entire project, cost by cost.

  4. Step two Being aware of building regulations Early consultation with a general contractor who understands the regulatory landscape of NYC, is crucial if you’re to avoid delays and potential disappointment throughout the duration of the project. New York City is notorious for its strict laws surrounding zoning, codes associated with electricity and plumbing, and permits for buildings, and without prior knowledge and understanding of all regulations, permits might be missed, and the necessary approvals may take months to come through.

  5. A good general contractor will be more than familiar with all of these concerns, and will be present to guide the project smoothly through every aspect. Step three Setting a realistic timeline With the help of an experienced general contractor, you can create a flexible timeline for the project, that accounts for the age of the building, problems that may arise due to plumbing or electrical systems that are outdated, permitting issues and anything else that might slow the renovation down.

  6. With a checklist created for every room that includes such tasks as demolition and adding finishing touches, you can work with your chosen contractor to formulate a timeline that’s both accurate and flexible. Under anticipating the amount of time needed to renovate an apartment in NYC can end up costing the homeowner dearly in both time and money. Step Four Thinking long and hard about the future

  7. If you want your NYC apartment to continue to fulfil your needs well into the future, you’re going to need to consider such things as adding more electrical outlets, installing smart home features, and opting for durable, hardwearing materials that won’t need to be replaced within a matter of months or years. And with space at a premium in NYC, designing your apartment in such a way that you can happily remain in it for the foreseeable future, is more important than ever. With each of these steps accounted for, and an experienced general contractor by your side, there’s no reason why your NYC apartment renovation can’t go smoothly, and successfully.
