In a basement construction project the most important initial component is a quality blueprint which details all the building materials required to complete the job.
Traditional architects will use the information they receive to generate a blueprint and with that, they will present a drawing based on their experience. The normal cost for this service will be in the range of $2,500. However, because this original design was created without much in the way of consultation with the client, there are frequently updates that need to be made to the original blueprint which will add yet more cost to that original estimate.
If you are looking forward to a well designed basement plan, these are some issues you might want to consider:
- Great design
- Superior craftsmanship and materials
- A realistic and fair price
- The project should proceed smoothly
- Timely delivery
- Maximizing your resale value
Make poor choices, however, and your dreams could easily turn into nightmares like these:
- You might make an initial down-payment, yet the contractor fails to show for the project.
- Your contractor starts working but disappears in the middle of your job - this means you get left with mechanics liens and pay twice.
- Your contractor encourages you to do some of the work yourself - then you find how much trouble it really is.
- Hidden costs blow your budget - and there's nothing you can do about it.
- The basement gets completed, but the work is of such a low standard you don't use the basement as much as you thought and your resale value is low.
- It's possible you might overpay for inferior materials.
- You can also overpay for high quality material.
- You battle for months with lazy, inept contractors who never do what they told you they would.
These scenarios happen every day to innocent homeowners like you.
