A renovation project that is $150,000 or more requires some planning. Depending on what you want to do, you will normally need a designer to create some drawings. At Amerex, we provide a complete end-to-end service and can manage your project all the way thru from planning and design, making selections with the assistance of our interior designer, managing an efficient and quality-focused construction stage (with our trusted and reference checked trades), thru to delivery. All this is followed up with our Extended 12 Month Maintenance Guarantee (many builders only offer 4 months).
The initial design and planning can take as little as 2 weeks and sometimes up to 4 weeks. That depends a little on how decisive you are and how many times the design is changed!
