Prepare for a major renovation by defining priorities, gathering home information and discussing how the proposed work relates to daily life.

Write a clear project brief

Describe the rooms involved, the problems you want solved and the features that matter most. Separate essentials from ideas you would like to explore so the first conversation has a clear focus.

For an older Atlanta home, include anything you already know about previous alterations. Existing plans and photographs can help communicate the current layout.

Think about how the home is used

Consider storage, access and the everyday activities affected by the renovation. Ask what needs to be discussed before work begins rather than assuming all rooms can remain in normal use.

Georgia heat and humidity may influence how you think about comfort and material care. Raise those concerns during design so they are part of the conversation.

Organize decisions and communication

Keep reference images, notes and questions in one place. Explain why a reference appeals to you instead of expecting it to be copied into a different home.

Built by KJ offers both design and execution. Discuss the written project scope and how decisions will be confirmed with Kevin Jefferson before moving forward.
