Additions & Remodels Resources

Additions and whole-room remodels are the projects where scope creep does the most damage, because every decision you defer gets made later under time pressure and at a worse price. This section covers room additions, kitchen and bathroom remodels, basement finishing, and whole-home renovation. It deals with how to define scope before bidding, how design-build differs from hiring a general contractor, and what permits the work will require. Start with the project you are planning.
