My approach is to take a few minutes per quarter and make sure it is accurate by manually checking my true competition and adjustmenting prices accordingly.

Thankfully, we caught it during the plan review stage, and with a stamped structural design, they got the kitchen of their dreams—without jeopardizing safety or facing surprise delays.Here’s what to think about when renovating:Structural Changes: Even moving a wall can have ripple effects on the stability of your home.HVAC Systems: New layouts might need adjusted airflow or ductwork.Plumbing and Electrical: Moving sinks, showers, or outlets requires careful rerouting to comply with building codes.Before starting demolition or submitting permits, have your plans reviewed by a licensed engineer or architect to avoid costly surprises.
