Description

In this episode of Build It Coach, we ask and answer the question, should I hire a consultant? Why? Most homeowners or property owners are not experts in the remodeling or renovation business. We rely upon the expert advice of our contractor and trust his/her advice when it comes to making construction decisions. Many times our trust is taken for granted and the contractor gets away with performing bad work. You can avoid this mental-draining, bank account robbing, frustrating experience by hiring a consultant who can help you inspect the quality of work.  Consultants are inexpensive and are worth their weight in gold. There is a proper way to use a consultant so that you can avoid a clash between your contractor and consultant. In part I of Consultant Clash, learn why you should use a consult and get a hint into part II on when to use a consultant.
