Sanity-Saver Tip – Organize all of your home renovation project documents from the beginning |
How Often Do You Misplace Something Important?
If you’re like most people, it’s relatively easy to forget where you put something important. Perhaps, you’re “filing system” involves piling up bills, letters, and other documentation on a desk, table or shelf in your home.
What You Should Do
The documentation you’ll collect related to your pending home remodeling project will quickly swell. If you do not start organizing it from the beginning, you may end up not being able to find a important when you need to. And, you will need to during your renovation project – likely several different times.
Examples of Home Renovation Documentation
- General Contractor contract pages
- Change order pages
- Sub-Contractor contract and/or drawing pages
- Payment schedule and updates
- Business cards
- Local Building Department pages
- Local electric & gas company contract and invoice pages
- Architect contract pages and letter-size drawings
- Appliance product brochures, spec sheets, and sales receipts
- Plumbing fixtures brochures and sales receipts
- Inter designer color, material, texture, and fixture recommendations
- Etc.
A Scenario
While your house renovation is underway, you’ll find yourself wanting to reach for one or more documents, say, as a result of something your general contractor said in a weekly meeting – that you’ll remember something different. You’ll want quick access to a change order, a brochure, a note you took, or something similar. Not being able to find it right away will stress the heck out of you – especially if the time it takes you to finally find what you’re looking for ends up delaying the project because schedules became out of sync.
Tips How To Organize Your Project Documents
The bottom-line is to do some organizing now to save your sanity later. Smart homeowners organize their renovation project documentation and research.
If you’re already familiar with organizing a big project with lots of moving pieces – or just have a general organizing system that makes sense to you, then put your experience into play and streamline your home renovation experience.
