What to Expect at our
First Meeting!
At our first meeting we will have the
opportunity to get to "know one another." We want to listen to
your needs, wants and expectations.
We want you to feel comfortable asking us questions as well!
It's a good idea to have all the decision-makers present at
the first meeting.
Typically, everyone has some sort of input or information to
add about the project. Following are some of the items we would
like to discuss with you at our first meeting:
| • |
We will talk about what you like or dislike
about your present home. What is the project you are considering?
Why are you considering this project now? What do you
hope to gain from the project? Present and future needs?
Lifestyles?
|
| • |
Is your style contemporary, traditional,
or somewhere in between? It's a good idea to have pictures
from magazines, etc., to help convey the look or details
you are after.
|
| • |
We would like to discuss how you
see yourself going through the process of selecting a
remodeling contractor. How do you see yourself going through
the design process?
|
| • |
We will talk about money and your budget. We'll need
to have a frank and honest discussion of how much you
want to invest in your home -- only you can tell us that.
We can only estimate how much you project will cost. How
will you finance the project - refinance or cash? Present
value of home, equity?
|
| • |
What is important to you in a remodeling company? Design?
Experience? Single source of responsibility? Financial
stability? Craftsmanship? Processes like scheduling and
budgeting? Something else?
|
| • |
How long do you plan to stay in your home? |
We look forward to our meeting and learning more about you and
your project. Hundreds of satisfied homeowners before you have
been happy they went the Schloegel Design Remodel Way.
