I'm not saying you weren't, but I know architects and engineers, if they get a feeling that a client doesn't really know what they want and will need an excessive amount of hand holding and doing several redesigns through the process, they will pad their numbers.

I think this stuff needs to be redesigned or pulled from the market if this is how it is (not) performing.

New flooring, new appliance package, paint everything, new tile...in this property, we added a mudroom and a butler's panty with a sink by just redesigning what was there.

We handled everything from redesigning the layout to modernizing fixtures and improving the curb appeal.

When I hired the PM in April, we did a small redesign including light painting, replacing light fixtures, adding a few amenities and other small touches that I also included in this cost.

It just needed cleaned up and redesigned.

I am considering bringing on someone to my team that specializes in residential design or shall I say, redesign. 

The neighbors protested the interchange emptying into the middle of a subdivision and cause the state to redesign the highway. 

Sounds like one of the ingredients of your recipe is a redesign/update.

My main goal is to identify an opportunity that can be scaled from a couple of spots to a dozen, to several dozen eventually without the need to completely re-design or re-engineer the layout without respect to providing utilities.
