ty and comfort of home, they are investing in the creation of outdoor rooms.
PLANNING THE RIGHT OUTDOOR ROOM
If you are considering adding a dream outdoor space to your property, it’s important to properly plan. Start by exploring different designs and building plans that might be right for your needs and space.
Belgard Rooms is a great resource for planning out- door areas. The interactive site at belgard.com/rooms makes it easy to identify needs, pair designs that complement the style of your home and define your overall plan. Once you find one you like, you can down- load the plan for free and share it with contractors to get bids on the project.
Beyond convenience, this is beneficial from a timing and installation perspective. The templated designs can be customized to fit home- owners’ needs and tastes.
RESEARCH TYPICAL PROJECT COSTS
Ask neighbors if they have completed similar projects. Get multiple quotes from several contractors. Go be- yond labor costs and deter- mine product costs online to understand the big picture financially. To give yourself options look for alternative
products that are similar in price.
RESEARCH CONTRACTORS AND GATHER BIDS
Get multiple bids from contractors. Given the cur- rent circumstances, this year is busy for contractors, in terms of both schedul- ing and inventory. So, keep in mind price is only one consideration; experience, licenses, references, turn- around time and satisfac- tion guarantees are other important factors.
DETERMINE A PAYMENT SCHEDULE
Understand payment options and if materials are included in those fees. You may want to plan the project in phases to meet your budget. Additionally, you can ask about financ- ing options which may al-
low you to take advantage of construction efficiencies and avoid a phased build.
MORE COMPLEX PROJECTS COST MORE
Make sure you under- stand specific construc- tion or engineering re- quirements. Linear design requires less cutting and building, resulting in lower costs compared to circular or winding patterns. Level- ing your land can be costly, so consider building down into the slope.
“Schedules for contrac- tors nationwide are filling up, so now is the time to take action with your out- door projects by finding designs you like, gather- ing bids and making your dream outdoor room a real- ity,” says Raboine.
