Collaboration in Bathroom Renovations is Key to a Successful Project
It’s no secret that bathroom renovations, among all building projects, can be a stressful process. However, something that can help to alleviate the stress that comes with renovating is if you and your builder have a good relationship.
At Flat Hill, we truly value the relationship we have with our clients and know more than anything how important it is to foster rapport. Our team is friendly, accessible and easy to work with, so you never have to worry about tasks flying under your nose. We prioritise good communication with our clients, so we’ve decided to put together the best ways to effectively communicate and collaborate with your builder during bathroom renovations.
Establish your Point of Contact
Successful bathroom renovations, like all renovations, require good communication between the client and the builder. Therefore, it’s understandable that you’re going to have a significant amount of questions and concerns that constantly need to be addressed. In order to make sure these are looked after, establish exactly who you need to address these questions to, their preferred contact method and how quickly you should expect a reply.
Some builders may operate on a schedule, whereas some are happy to chat at any time of the day. It’s important to establish this so that you and the builder are on the same page and you don’t feel left behind. At Flat Hill, you’ll communicate solely with our owner and builder, Scott who is happy to answer your queries at any time of the day.
Immerse yourself in the Process
A renovation is a highly collaborative project between you and your builder. Therefore, it’s important that the process is exciting and enjoyable for both parties involved, which means establishing a good working relationship.
A good working relationship is one that involves communicating openly and effectively, with the builder listening to the client’s needs, and the client taking on the builder’s professional perspective. Working in positive collaboration will achieve the best result and make the process that much more enjoyable. At Flat Hill, we enjoy nothing more than our clients being hands on with their renovation and adding their unique touch to our professional ideas! Therefore, don’t hold back and keep banking Pinterest photos to show your building team.
We Love Questions
As we all know, the most important part of any relationship is trust. At Flat Hill, we place trust in our client’s visions, and in the same way, we value the trust they place in us.
With this level of trust, we encourage our clients to approach us with any new ideas they have throughout the process, any issues they have with the build, or any changes that are impacting the build. Some of the best results on projects come with clients who were curious about the design process, and from builders who were willing to educate and involve the clients too!
We truly believe bathroom renovations are collaborative process between client and builder, and not just a service our clients are paying us for.
Finally, Celebrate Together!
Here at Flat Hill, we say there’s no better, more rewarding feeling than handing over the finished renovation to our client.
While we update our clients every step of the way, it’s still exciting seeing their reaction to the final product. At every handover, we present our clients with a custom completion pack that includes helpful information on how to best care for your newly renovated bathroom. In addition, every bathroom comes with a 6 and a half year builders’ warranty; therefore, we’ll still be there with you to solve any issues post completion.
