The Hindbo folks knocked the completion of our design out of the park

Almost looks like a ‘wall mural’, but it’s actually the real view! The fully-glazed wall provides a relaxing panorama of the lake during the day. At night, the fireplace becomes the focal point.
We loved building this gorgeous home and our clients never get tired of the view!

A bird’s eye view! Drone photography has given us a different view of our work, and we’re loving what we see. This custom home checked all the boxes for our clients. The home is nestled into the hillside with plenty of living space for them to enjoy their lifestyle, plus take in the incredible view!

How much does it cost to renovate your home? The cheeky answer is, "You will know once you are finished". But seriously, there is no exact answer to this question and you will need to be comfortable with a best guess. In most cases the best guess will be closer if you have a plan for contractors to understand the extent of the renovation and have something to estimate from.

I have been told that my design fees are usually around 1-1.5% of the cost of the project. So if you spend $1500 on design your project will likely be $150,000 - $225,000 depending on the complexity and level of finishes you will choose. To give you some perspective on this, $1500 usually involves moving some walls, adding a deck, a new kitchen, master bedroom and ensuite. The fees go up when adding on to the house.

However, every project is different and the first step is to have a plan. Because without a plan, you have no plan and no idea how to answer this tough question.

Sell or renovate? This is usually a tough question. If you want less space, then sell. But if you want more space or simply a different space then consider renovating. Especially if you really like your property and/or neighborhood. You will add value to your property instead of losing part of your investment on selling and buying costs. Amazing transformations can happen with some imagination. Contact me for a complimentary imagination session.
