The inspection is one of the most important moments of a renovation. It’s the first visit to the property to be renovated, a crucial moment to “read” the place to be transformed. To transform a place in the best way possible, one must be able to interpret it carefully and accurately. An architect observes a building from the outside and inside, identifies its parts and centers, and grasps its character. Only then can the renovation work begin.
The Inspection for a Turnkey Renovation
The inspection is the necessary step to take before evaluating any intervention. Before carrying out a turnkey renovation of an apartment or an office, one must observe the place to be renewed very carefully. Every building is unique, with its own history and peculiarities. What are its potentials? What are its limitations? Which aspects should be enhanced, and where is it important to intervene to make improvements? To answer these questions, the eye of an expert technician is required.
How Does the Inspection Take Place?
The inspection takes place in person. For a careful and thorough technical examination of the building, photos and videos are not sufficient. To give new shapes to the space, it is very important to thoroughly understand the nature of the place on which one wants to operate. The architect will therefore visit the place in person.
When calling for an inspection, should one already have clear ideas about the type of project desired?
When preparing to renovate a home, it can be very useful to seek inspirations, ideas, and images to share with the designer. However, this is not essential. The inspection can be the ideal moment to better outline the change you’re seeking. It’s a moment of discussion, during which to express every doubt and every desire. Speaking with a technician will allow you to better define your intuitions and intentions.
What Will the Architect Inspect?
If possible, the architect should have free access to the entire house, in order to have the most complete idea possible of the building to be transformed. Having an overview is fundamental to then operate better in detail. In this regard, if renovating an apartment, it might be useful to view the entire condominium, also sharing any condominium regulations with the technician.
What Documents should be Presented to the Architect During the Inspection?
It is not necessary to immediately present documents to the architect. However, if you already have the cadastral details of the building, it can be very useful to provide them to the designer at the time of the inspection. The more information shared in the initial phase of the renovation, the faster one can proceed with subsequent practices.
