Consistency and teamwork are absolutely crucial to the success of any renovation, refurbishment or building project as well as being prepared and planning it out. Great teamwork is not always easy to achieve or straightforward, especially if interests vary.

Difficulties often arise because of miscommunication, delays in relaying messages or decisions and a lack of togetherness when it comes to putting certain key elements or practices into action. This can cause a renovation project to stall, leading to logistical problems and putting pressure on your budget and timeline. The key is to avoid situations like this arising at each and every opportunity.

This can be difficult when you have appointed and are dealing with a collection of independent, unconnected contractors, even though you are their client. If your residential architects, local builders, interior designers and project managers are not all singing from the same hymn sheet, problems are likely to occur.

Fortunately, London is home to some very reputable design and build companies that specialise in bringing all of these different elements of a project under one roof. If your architects, interior designers and builders all work for the same construction company in London, everyone shares the same goals and your renovation project will benefit.

By reducing the risk of communication problems and eliminating misunderstandings between different contractors involved in your project, you will have more confidence in what is being proposed, scheduled and carried out and that the completed property will meet or even surpass your expectations.
