The purpose of a design analysis is to assess the renovations being made to an existing structure, as well as to determine the best materials and equipment for the job. It establishes the goals of a renovation project and determines the most efficient way to meet them. There are qualified construction companies that specialize in design analysis prior to starting a renovation to ensure the finished product meets a client’s expectations, be it a commercial or residential structure.

Analysis for a renovation begins with an assessment of the current structure. This will allow renovation plans to include any needed upgrades or repairs to the foundation and structure, as well as any mechanical, electrical or plumbing changes. The design analysis should include a review of the current layout to gain an understanding of current traffic patterns, changing needs based on the evolution of the family or business, and the client’s likes or dislikes. The better a designer understands the motivations prompting the renovation the more likely it is the design will reflect the client’s vision. On many occasions, detailed input from the client, coupled with the expertise of an experienced construction group, will generate a design that meets or even improves upon the initial plan.

One surprising aspect of design analysis is the option of incorporating green elements wherever possible in an aesthetically pleasing and cost-saving manner. Gains are possible from energy efficient heating and cooling systems, as well as passive systems such as insulation, windows, roofing and other construction materials. Environmentally-friendly upgrades to an existing structure, be it a home or business, can be both attractive and functional while still keeping the project affordable.

Once the design elements have been reviewed, the client should be able to see the new layout and design features with a 3D representation. Everything from structural changes to colors and materials can be reviewed and altered prior to starting construction. Recommendations by the designer can be seen in the context of the total environment of the renovation, giving the client a detailed preview of the finished product.

A quality design analysis benefits the renovation process in many important ways. It reduces the chance of unforeseen obstacles and, should a problem arise, contingencies are more likely to have been established for any particular areas of concern. The project will run smoother from start to finish since all parties have a well-informed, mutual understanding of the renovation project’s goals. Fewer change orders are encountered due to the thoroughness of preparation and planning, thus saving time and resources.

Communication plays a critical role in bringing together a design plan that will meet the client’s needs and even exceed their expectations. A great design analysis team will certainly ask questions and bring professional insight to the renovation project.

It is not always possible to anticipate every problem in advance of starting a project, since some issues do not arise until the demolition reveals what was hidden. However, working with a professional design and construction group should minimize complications and ensure a smooth, stress-free renovation with satisfying results, giving new vitality, functionality and style to your home or office.
