Permit approved
The City approved our renovation permit! We are good to go, but are still "negotiating" our estimate with our general contractor. They added in few things that we didn't originally call for, and we are less than content with how this process has transpired so far.
In the future, I would conduct business like this:
We did everything backwards, and only got one bid..only because the contractor we chose had done a few friends and several optometrists office. Last week, I invited another contractor to bid.. for obvious reasons!!
We also got our phone number hooked up!! I just got one phone number for now, so that I can fill in all my insurance applications and make business cards to handout. When we get closer to the date, I will add another phone line and a fax line.
In the future, I would conduct business like this:
- Architect. Approve all architectural plans (scan through this stuff with a fine tooth comb, and question everything)
- Input from your interior designer with the finishes
- Submit the plans, and finish schedule to several different contractors for bids.

General contractor & Eyedesigns
Eyedesigns sent us a post card saying that our project will be ready April 1st, and to allow an additional 3-10 business days for shipping.
Our general contractor also came back to us with our renovation budget. Initially we were given a $97,000 estimate in November/December. Since then, the designer had added some extra finishes, niches, etc. and we changed the floorplan. Well yesterday, we get an updated budget for $157,000. Needless to say, we were shocked and upset. After speaking with the GC, he mentioned how changes and add-on's cause "budget creep." So we are scaling back on certain areas to stay within budget.
The City should have our permit ready for demolition next week.
