What Actually Makes or Breaks a Project 🏗️

Most people think renovations fail because of budget. In reality? They fail because of decisions made too late.

From the projects we’ve seen (and lived through), the biggest game-changers are:

🔹 Planning before stripping out – Rushing to demolish before final layouts, specs, and costs are locked almost always leads to overspend.

🔹 Clear scope = fewer variations – The more detailed the scope, the less room for “surprises” mid-build.

🔹 Right trades, right order – A great tradesperson at the wrong time can delay an entire project. Sequencing matters.

🔹 Communication beats perfection – Weekly updates and quick decisions save more money than chasing flawless finishes.

Renovation success isn’t about doing everything right, it’s about doing the right things early.
