A clear start for your renovation project

A renovation starts with questions. What do you want to change? What should remain? And what information already exists about the building? Organising those questions together creates a clearer starting point for design.

Gather what you already have

Existing drawings, photographs and earlier project documents can make the conversation more concrete. Record what you do not know as well. Missing information does not need to be filled with assumptions.

Make a simple list of the documents you bring. Add a date or version where possible. This keeps the source behind a later question or design choice visible.

Make your priorities visible

Think about how the spaces work every day: where is light missing, which routes are awkward and which places do you use most? A short list of wishes and concerns helps structure the discussion.

Try grouping your wishes into necessary, desirable and optional. That order can change later, but it makes the first trade-offs easier to see.

Discuss expectations

Bring your budget indication, preferred timing and questions. The first conversation can then focus on what needs further investigation and which steps may suit your project.

An introductory conversation does not need to settle the solution. Its purpose is to clarify which information is reliable, which questions remain open and which next step is useful.
