PROPERTY REFURBISHMENT AND RENOVATION

ONGOING SITE VISITS

Once you have made your property purchase, Lane Associates Ltd can supply you with a full and detailed Project Report. This will outline the general state of the property and detail any renovation work required.

PROJECT PLAN

A full and detailed Project Plan can be drawn up to illustrate the most effective course of action necessary to achieve your objectives, along with the associated costs.

The plan is based on a 'Critical Path' time frame and will show all major and minor milestones, along with target dates and details of any obligatory permit applications required.

Our aim is to give you as much information as possible in this early stage of your project so that you are fully aware, at the outset, of the level of involvement of all parties.

SOURCING OF TRADESMEN

In order to create the Project plan it will be necessary to identify the availability of local tradesmen, and to obtain quotations for your approval.

All contracts for work to be undertaken will be between you and the tradesperson, and it is important to ensure that only suitably qualified tradesmen should be engaged.
