It's no secret that renovating is not easy. Renovation tales are nearly folklore. We all know the stories . . . over budget, behind schedule and way too much Tylenol.

Become an informed consumer.

Industry statistics indicate that over 60% of home renovations go over budget and 70% are not completed on time. Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing Studies reports that only 33% of homeowners are happy with their renovation experience. Dissatisfaction with home construction, renovations and repair are among the largest categories of complaints to local Better Business Bureaus and Consumer Protection Departments.

Most renovations are poorly planned.

Many people believe that planning begins with a floor plan and ends when they've agreed on a price. As a result, all too often homeowners involved in renovating are unprepared and uninformed. Any project can get out of control and over budget in no time, when it is not planned properly from the start.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

The “Plansmart” approach will help you avoid the mistakes that nearly all homeowners make; mistakes that cost thousands and very often tens of thousands in unnecessary expenses.

Plansmart allows you to take control of you project from day one by giving you the confidence and understanding to sidestep the headaches, disappointment and cost overrun of renovation.
