Tip #1	Set realistic goals for your home improvements; not only monetarily with your budget, but also not to over renovate for your neighborhood based on market analysis of your home.
Tip #2	Meet with a local real estate agent to help with market analysis and how much your home improvement plan will increase the value of your home.
Tip #3	Before you spend time and money with an architect, visit your local Town Hall Zoning Officer. Bring a current copy of your property survey. The zoning officer should guide you on staying within your " impervious coverage" guidelines.
Tip #4	When planning your project, make as many detailed design decisions as you can. It will help you stick to your budget better.
Tip #5	For room additions, we recommend planning how you will use your room and furnish it. Sometimes the furniture is too big for what you've drawn out. By doing this, this will eliminate under building and not knowing until its too late.
