Remodeling with Norm

Remodeling with Norm Start here -> www.NormBennettConsulting.com After high school, I went to work for my instructor, and the rest is history.

I've been a General Contractor for 30+ years - and still am - but I also help Homeowners plan, price and manage their own remodeling projects - sometimes without hiring a general contractor. I've been wearing a tool belt since I was 16 years old, taking "Building Trades" while in high school at Pike and Lincoln County Area Vocational School - in Eolia, Missouri. I thoroughly enjoy the process of i

magining the best path forward for remodeling projects. Whether you're a do-it-yourselfer, or this is your first project, or you already have architectural drawings, I'd love to help.

ONLINE COURSE; Introductory to Remodeling

Before you hire a contractor—or spend $50,000, $75,000 or more—make sure you understand the process you’re stepping into.

Most expensive remodeling mistakes happen before construction ever begins:

• An unrealistic preliminary budget
• Hiring the wrong contractor
• Comparing bids that don’t include the same work
• Making design and material decisions too late
• Starting without a detailed Scope of Work
• Scheduling trades in the wrong order
• Discovering permit requirements after the project is underway

I’ve spent more than 30 years in the residential remodeling business. In my live online class, Introduction to Remodeling for Homeowners, I’ll explain how remodeling really works—and help you prepare before the expensive decisions are made.

During this two-hour class, we’ll cover:

✓ When you need a building permit
✓ How to establish a realistic project budget
✓ How to properly vet contractors
✓ How to compare and break down contractor bids
✓ Design and material selections
✓ How to create a detailed Scope of Work
✓ How to develop an Order of Operations
✓ Common mistakes that lead to delays, disputes and unexpected costs

This is practical, real-world remodeling guidance from someone who has estimated, sold, designed and managed remodeling projects for more than three decades.

For "aging in place" there's no better home improvement than a tub-to-shower conversion. Stepping over that tub wall while getting in and out of the shower can be hazardous!

We've done hundreds of these projects and I'd be happy to offer an estimate. These projects normally run around $10,000 - but it's so much safer.

My remodeling history is based around remodeling homes for the handicapped or aging-in-place, so I'm an expert in making these very necessary improvements.
