You may have heard tales of woe about building projects gone wrong. It's not uncommon for people to share their disastrous experiences, but successes often go unreported. This is partly because positive stories are less frequent, and partly because drama tends to make for more engaging conversation, with the negative fallout being a favourite topic of discussion. So, how can these unpleasant experiences be avoided?

The answer lies in coordination – the most crucial and valuable step in the process. It's more than just a word; it's about bringing a digital design to life as a physical structure. This begins with ensuring your budget is aligned with the features you desire. Has your designer coordinated the scope of selections, including bathroom fittings, kitchen joinery, appliances, floor coverings, and window treatments? What about the types and manufacturers of windows and doors? The list is extensive. This vital phase must commence well before construction begins. But why is this the case? Our experience has consistently shown that seamless, detailed results stem from this one key element: coordination. By obtaining all necessary selections and incorporating them into the plans, you can ensure that everything is suitable in terms of size, scale, and – of course – budget.

The coordination stage may seem daunting, but when managed correctly, it proves to be a worthwhile investment. Ensure that your designer and builder work together in harmony to guarantee a smooth build. Don't let the worry and stress of coordination fall on your shoulders. At Rossmark, we're committed to making your house extension and house renovation experience as stress-free as possible.
