Major home remodelling isn't for the faint of heart; there is huge potential for design problems, cost overruns or just unsatisfactory workmanship. Here, a professional construction manager who masterminded the redesign at New York's famed Avery Fisher Hall amongst others, offers an indispensable guide for homeowners who need to manage a large-scale renovation. There's advice on how to articulate your thoughts clearly to designers, architects and contractors; tips on negotiating contracts; suggestions for protecting yourself from legal and financial threats; and help understanding warranty claims. Each step - from initial planning through the completed project - is covered in layman's terms and sample contracts, floor plans, cost estimating worksheets and other forms are provided.
